Despite that I’d love to have one but I don’t think the planets will align for me.
I'm guessing it's likely done in order to keep his face as unobscured as possible. If he was centered then the sub scale center hole would likely cut into the drawing in an unattractive way.

That's exactly the reason it's offset.

I suspect that he's offset to the right in an effort to avoid skewering his head with the second-hand drive shaft.

Glad you got it at 'retail'.

I bought mine at top dollar from a 'grey'.

Nice! I wonder if one will ever come my way or if I should just bite the bullet and get one on the secondary market.

How long have you been waiting...and what ETA has your OB provided?

My OB was spot-on with their delivery estimate.
