Nice, good to know there's finally a new place to order P1 from since Sideshow is no longer offering new pieces.

I've never used Secret Compass before, are they good?

Good, but not as good as SS plus no rewards.

Unless they made a deal with Chronicle then no, they won't have JP stuff.

Okay got my answer. You and Stringray are correct.

Hi Dan
we are not able to list the Jurassic anything, this is Chronicle's license.
I'm sorry

I apologize if I'm confusing the restrictions by lumping the TF & JP licenses together when they are different situations. That's on me.

SC is good. They remind me of a neighborhood comic/collectible store. Customer service gets back to you. Shane has credited me on a damaged piece with no problems. He also was able to find me a new IS grey/blue Batman EX from one of his connections in Brazil. Obviously you're going to miss out on some benefits from SS or P1 but gain some elsewhere. Reminds me of dealing with SF Todd.

Now the plot thickens. I asked Shane about the TF art prints up on the P1 site. This was his response.

Hi Dan
these are going to be Chronicle's world, we cannot touch these
I'm sorry

I don't know if he got confused and thought I was asking about JP stuff and this was an accidental response or if Chronicle is going to be the new home for all P1 Transformers going forward. I have contacted Chronicle and will get back when I have an answer.

Chronicle Collectibles does not have the license to distribute P1 Transformers or the art prints. Was just a miscommunication by Shane. Whew.

Looks like I won't be buying P1 products anymore. If you notice secret compasses pricing, they jack up the prices hundreds of dollars over retail, most likely to cover international shipping and a little to profit from. I think this move from Sideshow are trying to eliminate the competition doing exactly the same thing they're doing to XM.

The first 3 that I compared, Shazam, Hush Superman(black costume), and Ultimate Bane were all the exact same price on both sites.

The only ones that I see that are jacked up are the ones that mention they include the shipping in the cost.....

Which ones include shipping? From what I've seen so far they are charging the same price as P1. I ordered the DX Goku.

You can go look, the are all pretty clearly labeled to include "Includes free US shipping" though "free" being a bit false as the price is increased to cover it.
