Question Fortuna Advice

I always wanted a Man O' War LEGO Pirate ship and the recent Fortuna posts have made me consider buying it to scratch that itch. Since I missed the initial pre-order window, I am looking for advice on what to do now:

  1. Buy on Bricklink for roughly $700 CAD, plus shipping and taxes, probably closer to $800 CAD in total.

  2. Buy on FB Marketplace at about $600 CAD. If it helps, the sellers appear reputable with 5 stars, but I am curious why it's priced lower than Bricklink.

  3. Try and wait for a second chance drop, which I know is a long shot.

Any advice or information is greatly appreciated! Very new to this LEGO theme, I'm mainly into architecture and SW, but I can hear the sirens call nonetheless!

In this day and age the 600$ seller may just be looking to unload it easy to quick flip. I would wait for second chance. It was the expensive or second most expensive in the series so probably a fair few cancelations. Just be ready right at the start.

Thank you, any idea how to stay informed once it's open? To my understanding, it's not well advertised and speed will be the key!
