She's never officially gone up through XM's website, so not sure what is happening with her at this point.

My suggestion would be, if you're a member of the XM Facebook community group, to ask Bryan or Ben or Ang what the status of her is. One of them always answers with as much info as they can publicly share.

I recently asked what was happening with the Jane Foster Thor piece, and they responded that they weren't happy with her and she is being re-worked.

Thank you, see if that gets me anywhere.

On one hand, I love it and would easily pay $600 for her, $800 is doable, then getting above $1000 is harder to rationalize.

What are my chances down the road getting her second hand or otherwise for less than a $1000?

Also, it still says February 2018 release, guessing it means 2019?
Who knows when they'll put her up for preorder. I'd be surprised if she's more than 990 SGD, but yeah, the shipping on top of that is a killer.

990 SGD = 730 USD

If shipping isn't insane (I can wait weeks for her if it helps with costs) then we have a conversation.

I haven't seen anyone offer a slow-boat option for shipping. It always seems to be DHL for $250-$350.

That's rough, but understand it is beyond their control.

Just wait and see what kind of price Spec Fiction has when she goes up. The newer pieces are generally cheaper than retail + full international shipping.

That is the one site I found her and was basing my price estimation off of.

"Item Pricing is not yet finalized.

Estimated Pricing is $899 - $1099 PLUS Shipping

The Deposit Will Be Subtracted From The Full Price

Buyer reserves the right for a FULL REFUND if item price is too high.

***SHIPS FROM SINGAPORE | ESTIMATED SHIPPING COST TO USA is $250-350***"

Wait and see, be thrilled if she came in well under their estimations.

I think his estimate is quite high. This piece has a small, simple base, and there are less switch-outs than most XM pieces.

I have never bought an XM piece so I hope you are right.
