$10 is just to ease you into it, it will just be a matter of time before EX's will be $50+ more then the regular edition...

This sucks but it's true... errr how I hate this. Ex and reg should always be the same price. Guess more aftermarket buys from now on. Thano ex is 50.00 more than the reg. Why does ss keep doing this even with these already inflated prices.

It isn't Prime1. It's Sideshow.
Prime1 announced their pieces, prior to the pre-order date, at a certain msrp. then magically the price increased when SS listed them on their site.

Personally, I am done at these prices for at best, a mediocre/average statue.
Save your money folks and don't pre-order. At the very least wait until they are coupon eligible or even better wait for a deal in the aftermarket.
Unless the edition size is uber tiny, you will have no problem scoring it later for less.

I agree. Unreal. Worse is like someone mentioned this is just to test the waters. They're going to start charging more and more for exclusives. Freaking ridiculous. Juggernaut is going to be 2 grand when they finally get around to making one. smh

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That was Mr. Freeze and that was for both Ex and Reg I take it (shipping should be the same for both.) Optimus Prime EX was priced higher from the get go, as is storm shadow announced this morning.
And storm shadow is $50 higher for the ex even though the price level is in the $600s.

Cool, what's your point? All the other kids are doing it so Sideshow should too? That's the same mentality that pushed prices to their current levels without any uptick in quality, fabrication and display options or any restraint in terms of keeping the ES at a respectable/collectible level from Sideshow.
Outside of Reward Points the incentive to order through Sideshow direct vs settling for a regular at what is usually a significant reduction in cost via a third party has always been access to the Exclusive. In the case of Luke we're talking an extra $10 for a blaster. Is it worth it? Sure, but make no mistake, just like the price increase push this is a 'test the waters' move. Will collectors pay it like they do with other companies? If yes then let's start applying it across the board and gradually increase it over time depending on the piece and the exclusive offering. Once the door is opened it'll never close.
