    [XM Studios] Cyclops

    There is a steady increase of XM statues' retail prices. Cyclops is $825/$925, Iceman $975 and Gambit $875. They said that they will come up with smaller bases to help their customers pay lesser shipping costs but they are getting a piece of your savings in shipping by increasing their prices...

    XM Studios Dark Phoenix 1/4 Statue

    I see no difference if a piece is an XM or convention exclusive except that their retail and prestige prices are the same. They are also offered via online for PO. As to the aftermarket prices, based on what I observed on what has been happening in our local market, prices of grail pieces of...

    XM Studios Dark Phoenix 1/4 Statue

    Except the OGs, most of, if not all, the subsequent XM pieces are selling at their retail prices. In fact, most of my XM pieces are bought from local FB groups less than retail. Dark Phoenix won't be different. That is why after several pieces, I stopped purchasing direct from XM.

    XM Studios Dark Phoenix 1/4 Statue

    From where I live, I can order direct from XM and it's available now for pre-order in their website.

    XM Studios Dark Phoenix 1/4 Statue

    Not the kind of piece I would immediately grab. There is just too much flames and it overwhelms the piece. But I will snag one in the aftermarket. XM pieces from local groups sells less than I would spend for ordering it directly from XM.

    Statue Magneto - Maquette

    SS knows that there are collectors who do not have the XM or costume pieces and their aftermarket prices cost an arm and a kidney. As such, they know there would be buyers and even if theyr jack up the price to $999.99, it is still the cheapest. I surmise that this maquette will be priced not...

    Statue Magneto - Maquette

    Re: Magneto - Premium Format For ridiculing the original sculpt, SS was forced to make twitches BUT with a cost! Now it's a maquette and that means SS willl add at least $250 to the price. That's their way of saying "Don't like what we are shoving to your throat? Alright, we will make changes...

    Premium Format Deadpool PF (Ver. 2)

    I'm actually more impressed on the base. So much details and work put into it. I cancelled mine early this year because of too many POs and somehow regret tries to set in :slap

    Statue Iron Man 1:4 Mk III Maquette

    I get the same advice from a lot of XM Mark 7 owners. "Don't mind the price and your wife kicking your balls so hard once she finds out you spent crazy amount of money for a statue again. it's worth it. Take the plunge!"

    Statue Iron Man 1:4 Mk III Maquette

    I don't have any IM in my collection. I've been trying to snag the XM Mark VII but I've been hesitating due to the price. I went for SS Mark 7 but the pieces offered to me either has that noticeable slant in the chin or the lights no longer work. Regardless of the price, I will definitely get...

    Statue Iron Man 1:4 Mk III Maquette

    It's the Renaissance period on statues...I mean on corporations for jacking up their prices. My guess would be $749.99 for this piece. So hold on to your wallets and credits cards.

    XM Studios - Weapon X 1/4 Statue

    On topic: I saw in person Weapon X and for me, it's the best statue exhibited by XM in the just concluded STGCC. If you are a Wolvie fan, having Weapon X is a must and this is the only Weapon X you will ever own. The only statue Xm should do in the future is an old man logan statue after the...

    XM Studios - Weapon X 1/4 Statue

    It's quite unfortunate that some middle men of XM statues do hold international buyers hostage by charging mark-ups and sometimes would even add profits in shipping costs. When I purchase from sideshow before, our local import charges and other fees would usually add up more than the price of...

    XM Studios - Weapon X 1/4 Statue

    American collectors having the same problem experienced by collectors abroad in buying Sideshow pieces especially here in Asia. Now, we have the luxury of buying pieces without the hassle of paying high import taxes and shipping cost (or you can just fly to Singapore and pick the statues up) BUT...

    Statue Iron Man 1:4 Mk III Maquette

    I hope SS won't go crazy on the price. A sure PO for me.

    Statue Magneto - Maquette

    Re: Magneto - Premium Format tease (?) SS will be lauded if it listens to collectors by changing the sculpt and costume to a classic one. It is a perfect business move and a win-win move for all.
