Sauron is much bigger than this Witch-King piece and was only 1/4 the shipping cost. I cannot understand how the Witch-King is $998. As Ezhil pointed out, even in Asia it's $824 to ship. Something not adding up.

Back in 2021 I had to pay 1100$

for shipping of the T-Rex vs Velociraptors in the rotunda. Only 2 weeks before the shipping date they sent me an email saying that due to the global situation it was going to go from 600 to 1100 dollars, I told them that it was abusive to double the cost, I asked if there was any possibility of it going down again. They only answered that things were not going to change for a while, and that they could keep it waiting for the shipping price to drop but that this would take many months, so with great pain I paid the full 1100$. 1 month later they annouced in their web that economy shipping was finally avaliable for Europe...

I saw enough of their abusive tactics during Covid to know not to risk it with them. I have gotten a 1:3 Predator bust direct from them, but no way I'd go anything bigger than that unless the item is in stock and I know exactly what the shipping will be. Prime makes great statues, but they have been scamming folks with shipping for far too long.

Thank you, I have been here for a while (only reading) but until now I hadnt created an account. I have felt the need to share about P1's terrible customer service and shipping costs. Their statues are amazing, but buying directly from them is...

Piece just shipped from Spec Fiction.

Update: Ships in 2 boxes

It is such a shame they under scaled this one.

I didn't mean just the beast. Obviously, it is very under scaled, but so is the Witch King himself(though not as much), but enough to notice when next to others in the line.

Yea, I saw some pictures of this next to other in the line. I'm shocked how under scaled this is. I'm glad I never pulled the trigger.

I got the 1\2 coming from sideshow tomorrow. Shipping was $300 but I think it might be three boxes.

I have pcs macho man coming tomorrow too.

Ups sent me 4 emails that my package is coming tomorrow. So I'm thinking 3 for witch king , 1 for macho.
