BTW, this thing better be freakin’ epic because it’s the highest I’ve ever spent on shipping for this kind of Sideshow piece. $92?!?! And that was the cheaper version with FedEx. UPS, my normal go-to, was something like $96!

49 pounds?!?! CHONKY!!!!

At least it isn’t Prime One. I’d probably have to take out a second mortgage.

Shipping for me was ~$100.

It's funny. I've seen some comments in the Facebook group that there are people who pre-ordered this (Probably in the second wave) and are still waiting for theirs to arrive, yet we both got this for a discount on Seconds because of slight box damage. I'm guessing ours are from the first wave?

Sideshow is wild, man.

Also, I know I'm one of the people who have bemoaned the size of PFs seemingly hitting 30"+ on the regular... And the hypocrisy of me getting this despite the size.

It won't fit in my normal display.... I plan on displaying it in my office in a prime position. It feels like a standalone piece since it is an Elseworlds story.

I really think Sideshow has amended their licensing terms based on size which is why we are seeing larger statues all around and the big 'ol Wolverine.

Nothing about this hobby is rational past a few pieces so while I understand space constraints but for this much money bigger makes these more impactful.

I dunno. I thought this went back up for PO 2-3 weeks ago? Is it already re-waitlisted or what? Maybe there's still more coming and POs will be opened again?

I'm not complaining. Getting this piece for essentially Free Shipping is lovely.

I really hope the piece is perfect for you. The last Seconds piece I got was a destroyed mess of crap - broken into 25 different pieces. So much for them claiming they inspected it before sending it out to me.

What is the standard when that happens? Do they replace? Do you need to go for a full refund?

I've had a couple seconds pieces and they were stellar results.
