The only way I was getting Hawkeye was to go through BBTS. Bummer they don't have any up yet. I'll use a dealer for the ones I can't stand to miss on.

I agree...if it's a statue I simply must have and don't want to risk missing out on...then I will pay to use a dealer / contact. If not, then BBTS is a great option.
That's exactly what I'm doing too. Hulk and Magneto (very lucky and won't test my luck again) through BBTS, and Wolverine and Thanos through Singapore board member. I thought if I changed my mind on Hawkeye after the fact, BBTS would be an option, but as fast as it appears to be selling I wouldn't be shocked for this to be completely sold out soon. I mean its an amazing statue so I can totally understand why it would sell out quickly. I'm just hoping I don't regret not picking it up later on down the road, but with the price of these statues to import, I can't buy everything my eyes want.
This guy looks amazing but fortunately for my wallet, an easy pass...

Hawkeye is up on SpecFiction currently. If any of you want to get him, now would be the time to do so. He will probably only run about $70 bucks more (shipping included) than what BBTS is probably going to sell it for. BBTS should put it up soon.

Can you give me a link? I've never heard of SpecFiction? Is that a member here, or an actual site??

It's an actual site... I bought my XM Capt from him and have Hulk, Iron Man 42, Thanos and Mags on pre-order with him, along with several GG statues...
I just looked on his site and he seems to be sold out of Hawkeye. He still has Black Widow, Hulk and Iron Man 42 though...
It's kind of weird that BBTS.com never put Hawkeye up and neither did Secret Compass.. Although If I remember right with Secret Compass they emailed people who bought Mags telling them they would get first dibs on Hawkeye, I'm guessing they sold all their stock of Hawekeye by just the emails... (((Shrug)))
Looks like the only way to get him is message the few members who are from Singapore like Kayorzz or you can buy directly from Simply Toys in Singapore, I know several members have done that with other XM statues..

thanks for the information!!! The only thing holding me back is the shipping cost. I think the Hawkeye looks amazing, but for just short of $1k I'm probably going to skip it for a more important character (to me anyways) like the Wolverine, Thanos, or hopefully an awesome Daredevil.

Ordering from Simply Toys or a board member should run you closer to $750USD total shipped than $1k.

Can you PM me the board members that can help me out?
I think there is a widespread misconception of total cost of these items. Cap didn't cost me anything near $1K and none of the others that I'm ordering will either.

I think it depends on where they live, if there in certain parts of Europe it can be more expensive due to import fees and what not... but to get it to the states it runs you about $750-$800 total, if you order through BBTS.com you can probably save another $50-100.. now that's on their normal size statues like Capt., BW, Hawkeye etc..... Now for the big boys like Magneto and Thanos it's probably more like $950-$1000 delivered as the initial price is more and shipping is more due to the added weight and size of the statue.

Yes, it is pricey in Europe (shipping and taxes aren't fun) but in the end I am really pleased with my pre order. Only about 10 more months to go

this is such a solid statue. Just got my notice for the deposit yesterday and now its time to make the final decision. Looks like he is hot and already being smuggled under the radar. Deals are happening my friends.

It will definitely depend on where you live, and the size of the statue. Thanos and Magneto will be heavy and more expensive to ship (from a dealer). I'm in Canada, so the exchange rate isn't as favourable, and I'll have to pay tax. The "big boys" will most definitely cost me $1000 shipped.

I'm not sure what you mean... You mean smuggled to more North American retailers?

Yup [emoji2] but im also saying if you want him I do t think he is gonna b around very longer. Some of the retailers people are waiting for are making offers behind the scene and he may not even go up on the website if they sell out their allocation. Just a heads up

I emailed BBTS and they basically said they haven't secured any yet to sell. I think I'm starting to see a trend happening.

I think BBTS has a certain price they want to buy these for and they probably can't find a source willing to sell them at the price they want, at least not anymore now that XM is getting more popular. I'm a bit worried that these resellers are going to start getting greedy as XM gets more popular and will see a price hike soon from them... that would suck..
