Technically don't they save money because "Maquette" is less letters than "Premium Format"? Or maybe the letter "Q" is a diva and charges more for her services, hence the upcharge.

I feel less and less remorse about paying XM shipping charges given the pricing hikes SS is pulling these days. The XM Storm was worth every penny before, but even more now when she is literally LESS than this Magneto.

Is his only point of connection to the base his right foot? Because I'm concerned about the stability of this piece. If there is a metal rod, it better run deep in the base and through his entire leg.

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

Look on the bright side, at least a piece like this will be produced with high quality polystone and have incredible QC before it gets to your door! It’s not like they make PFs out of plastic or anything.

Oh wait...

I'm hoping that the metal spikes are optional. Will ask that to Igo during SS Live today.

At the end of the day, I like the piece a lot. It's 50 bucks more than I was expecting/hoping for, but I get the rise in prices, so long as it correlates to higher quality (which I don't think it really has so far).

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For European people if you want the EX which is only available on Sideshow website we have to pay as much as an XM piece now cause including the taxes (30%) it will cost 1000 EUR for this Magneto...so 1220 USD for European customer...Please Sideshow we need a European warehouse

Your perfect . Just make sure to tell how awesome all the pieces are. No need to criticize or point out poor decisions. That's smug.

It's a forum, where people have opinions.

Yes, but most don't go around calling people a-holes for doing their job.
