I ordered the DX and the victim. With all you get, $2300 is a good price IMO. It's 3.5' tall, fully decked out diorama, 4 head sculpts with 3 stands, 2 hand sculpts, LED's and P1 attention to detail/paint apps.

Preordered the regular from Secret Compass. I don't need any of the other bells & whistles.
1000 officially, but according to Predatorstuff (Faken on here) the actual size could be less if sales slowed down at one point.
Same here. The only thing that's killing me is the shipping costs. $900usd to get both pieces shipped to Australia..

I forgot what the total was on shipping, but I went with standard shipping on the DX and Economy shipping on the victim (because they wanted over $400 for standard on that one).
Anyone else notice this at the bottom of the description on Prime 1's PO page:
Notice:
Prototype samples shown.
Laser light added for illustration purpose only.
Product details could be subjected to change without further notice.
Product is not available at the moment in Sideshow Collectibles, please see other items.
I wonder if that means that there's a chance SSC will eventually carry this?
I'm only going for the standard version but haven't decided where I want to order from.

Yeah unfortunately there wasn't any option for me. Have contacted Prime 1 but I doubt they have a cheap alternative for us Aussies
They say the same thing on every preorder that's been posted in the last six to seven months.

Except they want $550 immediately vs only $149 direct from P1....

Am I really going to fall victim to the influence of my fellow geeks and order this thing lol? Been backwards and forwards with it the last few hours.

Ok, thanks. Never ordered a Prime 1 piece before, so I guess I definitely won't count on SSC putting this up. I think I'm leaning towards getting it through Secret Compass then.

If you?re on the fence, I recommend you wait until after the weekend and give yourself time to think about it. It?s not gonna sell out anytime soon, if at all.

ORDERED!! YESS!!! Just popped my PRIME1 cherry!! And it feels exciting with a pinch of panic! Cant believe I'm dropping this much money on one piece! But it's super special to me so it had to be done!!
On a side note HOLY HELL on that standard shipping for the Victim! [emoji44][emoji44][emoji44]

With the cost of the victim and shipping, might as well just get the city hunter instead.

Since I've never ordered from PRIME1 OR Secret Compass before, I could do with some advice.
I'm surprised that PRIME1 direct & SC are charging the same prices for both this Jungle Hunter AND the City Hunter. Is that usual for Secret Compass on PRIME1 pieces?
Since the prices are the same, is there ANY advantage to order from one vs. the other?:
Sorry for all the questions but - given all the issues I've previously had with Sideshow - I'm a bit cautious when starting a "relationship" with a new source.

- Would one ship before the other? (what sort of gap?)
- I'm in Canada - would there be much of a difference in shipping costs for PRIME1 (from Japan) vs. SC (from the USA)?
- Given the recent Sideshow debacle, could there be any issues getting replacement parts from SC?
