Exactly!

I always thought it was interesting that I, someone that isn't even in the regions they can sell to, can get a for sure order whereas someone in those selling regions have to fight over the POs...

In some weird way I kind of liked them not being able to sell to the USA.

But now this opens up a whole new dilemma.

Stick with contact...or order directly.

I'll tell you what it would be better to go with contact in a Morrigan situation.

If it sells out while we are trying to PO and we don't get one. Then we have to spend considerably more on the secondary market it would be cheaper with a contact.

Also I was looking at Specfictionshop's shipping and it still might be around the $150-200 range for these out-of-region statues. And they're local to us...

So we still may be paying about the same ordering direct from HMO. Which would make it mute.

Thats a good point. BBTS used to have low shipping for the overseas stuff but if my memory serves me their Figurama Devilman piece had a $2-300 markup.

and yeah Mai if she’s anything like Morrigan is probably gonna be 10x worse lol

I'm just curious what shipping is gonna cost those of us in the US, who were able to get her through a contact. Already paid the balance I owed on her, just waiting for the shipping invoice....

Considering the fact that they knocked Morrigan out of the park I'm VERY excited to see how Mai turned out!

Same here. Have my Morrigan all paid off minus the shipping. I guess we'll find out soon enough what shipping will be. Hmo should be starting to ship her out and the curiosity of what the factory pulled of is killing me!

I actually have a LOT of faith in HMO. Seeing how Mega Man X turned out at the factory level has me really excited! Plus their seemingly constant push for high quality QC gives me high hopes!

Where was the pic? I'm guessing on their instagram? Hmm... I just watched an interview where they talked about the glass eyes being on their male characters as well. Haha!

Also it wouldn't make much sense if their female characters in a certain line had the glass eyes but their male characters in that same line didn't.
