Funny how once u take a way the choice of owning something humans want it even more.

The edition size was huge and at that time i had said that it was going to be sought after but peeps still skipped saying the edition size was too large and it wont appreciate in value.

Sorry but there was ample oppurtunity to get one even when it was realeased as far as i remeber as well being on pre order status for days, the reg was available for weeks or even months.

I had mine on order from day one at a Belgian retailer. When it became harder to find, I placed an order with a Dutch retailer to guarantee having one. Those shops did not receive a single spider-man.

I do not own a visa card, so I did not have the luxury of ordering directly from Sideshow. By the time it was released, prices were already €500 (at that time I think $700) to get one in Europe.

I have Venom and Carnage, but I refuse to pay double of retail the day it is released.
Yes, I want it, to complete my set and I don't have it, but not for lack of trying.

It's not the first time a statue doesn't make it to Europe. The same thing happened with the DC Direct Batman Vs. Killer Croc. Never made it to Europe. But with that, I feel confident it will be re-released.

In that case i feel for u bro it's a cruel hobby to a lot of internationals like you and me that i can guarantee, most of would have double the collections if not for taxes and shipping.I cant even fathom how u do this without a credit card.

ur right , taxes and shippings almost cost us 1/4th of the price we pay when buying these, so we have to be real choosy, and no use getting in doubles in hoping to flip later, it will be beyond us,
