Send the figure to Sideshow or Hot Toys after.

I know people are not happy about the price increase, but there is a boat load more paint on this one then the standard. All of the blast markings and scratches takes a skilled person to apply. Whether its decals or actual painting, it takes more processing to get this figure made. Casting parts cost money in molds, but once they are made, they can easily be repeated. I thinking a lot of production cost is wrapped up in paint.

Is this meant to justify? No.

Just an opinion.

 

[bangooface]

Haven't read the last 10 pages or so....but I wonder if there is any chance they made less than 3000 of these figures (which would justify the price). I would think they would disclose that info if they had, but for it to be US only, it must me be VERY LIMITED. Unless other regions will be getting it later.

I do remember when I PO mark vi avengers edition there was limited 3000 in red. Hmmm I don't see any number listed here.

 

[BeatleJohn]

I don't have any friends here in the UK let alone in the states

 

[Buttmunch]

Better safe than sorry on this one. Makes the Die cast prices seem like there is no price jump from plastic to metal whatsoever.

 

[Hexic]

Ordered. Will ebay my ex mark VII to offset the added cost on this one methinks. Maybe.

 

[rego]

It's funny how so many people jump on this at $300 + $10 shipping (or more) yet are so against buying a Diecast figure for $310.

Either way, I placed my order in, rather not regret it in the future.

pretty much.

when $300 becomes the norm of a MMS release they will have only themselves to blame. oh well!

or it could just be the fact that LIMITED is in the item description and that's HT's cue to slap on $50 to the price tag

Not sure why everyone is directing their anger at Sideshow.

Sideshow is a distributor for Hot Toys.

Hot Toys obviously wants to control the markets in which this thing is released. They have said as much from the beginning. It makes little sense for Sideshow to purposefully limit who they sell to. Hot Toys is the one most likely limiting this sale to the U.S. only.

As for the price, Sideshow most likely applies a standard percentage based markup on all Hot Toys figures. Who knows how much. I'd be surprised if it's even that much over 20%. Hot Toys sets the MSRP.

Getting mad a Sideshow is a serious case of misplaced anger. Be mad at Hot Toys.

But as long as people buy it anyway, it won't matter.

I posted the same thing earlier. I don't think it was SSC who decided this and I don't think they knew ahead of time either. If they did well they SUCK DONKEY **** for not indicating ahead of time they could only sell this in US market.

It's okay because this is limited edition." almost everyone's rationale

 

[Deeken]

I want to help out international folks if possible.. If you can pay and order through Sideshow, then you can ship it to my U.S. address (granted they let you since I just ordered one for myself).

Then if you send me paypal payment for shipping it to you, I will gladly offer this service to the first 1 or 2 PM's I get (I'll give my address to those who contact me and have great feedback ratings. Check mine out as well).

Remember, I can only do this if Sideshow allows it. I am not trying to gain anything here. Just trying to help out fellow collectors. Remember, you pay all the costs here- you just ship to my address and pay the postage to send.

Shipping address and card have to be identical, won't work. Very generous offer though.

Has it been confirmed there's only 3,000 worldwide?

DFantic said you can have it shipped to a work address or something?

It still won't work if the card is registered in Canada, and he's sending it to his "work address" in the states.

that's why I offered to buy 2, I can have one shipped to my home and another to my brother as long as they're willing to pay the full asking price for the figure and shipping, I won't ask for anything else but that
