Wooow, this is a negative spirit.
Okay ATTAKUS is French and yes in France they are probably a bit cheaper, not much.
Yes if you order from Attakus you have to pay oversea shipping. That is all too bad for you.

Now the other way around, i live in the Netherlands and i love ATTAKUS but also Gentle Giant and Master Replicas.
I have the same problem with oversea shipping and high prices because they are from the USA.
Do i complain? No because i am a collector and this is my hobby. Hobbies can be very very expensive.

If you don't agree with higher prices from ATTAKUS you have a few options:

- Don't buy ATTAKUS statues
- Do buy them and STOP complaining about prices
- Go and live in France and buy them maybe a bit cheaper
- Go and find some other hobby

By the way the French are nice people and it is a beautifull country, you should go there and see it for yourself.

That's pretty harsh but I think I can give you some informations
As far as I know (but I may be wrong), 7 of the 10 statues from series 4 are available, weither it's on French or America Attakus websites (or at retailers like comicstatues.com). No French or European customer has Oola or Sandtrooper in hand because they are ONLY on pre-order for now . Sandtrooper shippings should start by the end of March.

Regarding their costs, yes they are expensive but I'm sure you know you can buy most of them (if you interested in them of course) way below retail price on the secondary market.

As for Attakus statues not respecting the American market, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that.

The only rumour I heard from one of our NA resellers is Dooku and Scout Trooper w/speader bike, which if Attakus did that it would be a fairly large statue.
