Prices are really outrageous over here. I checked the official distributors' sites to get an idea how much the upcoming Fett might set me back, and I discarded it immediately after seeing what they're asking. I find the SW line tempting, but not that tempting.

Xm.eu has changed Medusa price to 1070 + shipping (first it was 1189), always a huge difference from xm.com.

Other example, for prices:

Daredevil

xm.eu: 880 euro + shipping cost

xm.com retail price: 542 (661 with european fees)
xm.com member price: 489 (596 with european fees)

I hope also xm.eu may add something like member price...

Any news about why on eu store prices are so high?

I mean, what the double f--k: compare Medusa's price between US retailers and EU retailers.

This is SpecFiction: 1150$+shipping
http://www.specfictionshop.com/colle...ant=4776817541

And this is the EU distributor, 1070€ (1200$)
http://www.xm-studios.eu/product/medusa-statue/

Not sure if Specfiction adds shipping from Singapore or from the US, but regardless, it's plain crazy that a retailer in a non authorized area can make a better price than a retailer in an authorized area.

I hope we could have an answer...and also fair prices!

Isn't the USA buyers paying the same with a middlemen? Or is it even more? So for example if a statue cost us in the USA 1150.00 what would it cost the eu buyers in usa dollars?

So that puts the Dr Strange at 480 Euro. Shipping to Europe I'm sure isn't cheap per unit. Just doing a quick price check from Singapore to Italy for a 50 pound shipment showed almost <gulp> 600 Euro. So for sake of argument lets say there is a big discount to 200 Euro. That brings the price up to 680 Euro. So how much profit is then added in. I'm guessing at least 200 to 250 Euro. And that "conservatively" brings the price to 880 to 930 Euro. Am I off base here in my assumptions?

Shipping to Europe is about 130 Euro for each statue... IF you choose by plane. The statues for XM Europe are shipped via boat, so it will be let's say 50 Euro each.
I wonder why there are 4 partners that are allowed to sell them directly:

Are these also partners of XM Stusios?

Where are the prices of official dealers??
Where are the RETAIL PRICE or PRESTIGE MEMBER PRICE??

for example:
ANT-MAN STATUE
http://www.xm-studios.com/
RETAIL PRICE SGD $799.90 = 507,137 EUR
PRESTIGE MEMBER PRICE SGD $720 = 456,995 EUR
-
http://www.xm-studios.eu/
Price 850,000 EUR = SGD $ 1339.18 plus shipping home!!!!

There are stores that are stealing to XM studios and collectors.

I would like to get/buy in official distributor stores (http://www.xm-studios.eu/partners/) xm studios official prices.. RETAIL PRICE or PRESTIGE MEMBER PRICE, please!!

The prices of official distributor stores must be the same as in http://www.xm-studios.com/.

PRESTIGE MEMBER PRICE for special customers of these official stores and only for a few days, please!

What do you think shorudan, please??

Isn't all the prestige sales only for vip members who join in Singapore?
