congrats!. that may be the lowest price I've seen on this piece ever. You got a steal, unless it's a recast off eBay?

That's what I'm thinking. I haven't seen it under $1500 + shipping. And trust me, I looked for a few weeks.
If it's XM, for that price, I suddenly don't like mine a much

I got mine for $1450 shipped. I've seen a few "displayed pieces" go for $1300-range but never anything for $1000...
But the recasts on eBay go for $750+$250 shipping = $1000...

Oooh i really hope you didnt get a recast. That price seems too good to be true. Cant wait to hear l updates.
Are these really recasts, cause I can’t tell the difference from the originals, or are they just original extra castings for the black market?
IMO they are not traditional "recasts" but more like "bootlegs" using the original molds from the factory or new molds using XM's digital file. Either the factory is making extras or someone snuck out of there with an original mold or two. Either way they are knockoffs.
Luckily for me, definitely NOT a recast… got the inner box and shipping box photos and everything to confirm,
unless these recasters have duplicated all of XM's packaging, lol.
Just got it from a seller who was clearing out his XM collection. Made him an offer and he accepted.
Had credit through my FedEx account to cover most of the shipping, so I jumped on it for that price.
Figured that would be my only chance to score one that low.
If I add back in the FedEx credit amount, I am still at $1120 shipped, so still a good price for him.
I think it broke down to $900 for the statue + $220 for shipping.
I will definitely be posting pics next Friday, he will arrive at my work Tuesday and I get home from vacation Thursday night…
Nice thing to come home to!
ok glad you got a legit one. Even at $1120 Shipped I think that's the cheapest I've seen for a legit XM Venom. They're going normally for $1600-$1800 new, $1300-$1500 pre-owned, but if you recall most folks were paying $2k-$2.5K when it was first released. XM Prices are dropping, market is flooded.

Sick price.
That's awesome. I'm still just happy I have it, regardless the price.

I feel like I was extremely lucky when I got mine. It kind of fell in my lap in a way but I paid less than 1000 and that was when he first came out. I hope you also get an authentic XM Venom Dino.

Dino? Typo?

Man, XM in general makes good decisions:
Glad they dumped the back design/cleaned it up.

That's why I hold out now. I got a pretty darn deal on mine, but I bet I could have saved a bit more had I waited a bit longer.
Nah I reckon the prices will go up and up now. I know Cable has.
