Alex, can you said me, if Obi-Wan Kenobi from Revenge of the Sith it's a good candidate in the Premium Format line?

Hi Alex,
I have a question that I hope you can answer.
Why is Sideshow the only company (that I know of..) that does not ship to Portugal?
We are in the European Union and I have inquired amongst the "legal departaments" here, and there is no restraints that prevent SS from doing so...

Thank you in advance.

I feel like you've been asking this question a few times now. ;-)

I'm sure a future Obi-Wan product will exist but I really do not know which movie/version it will be, sorry.

Portugal has incredibly high import fees/taxes/VAT for their citizens. When Sideshow did ship into Portugal most people would simply abandon their orders from us because the fees they were going to have to pay on it were far too high and then in turn getting the item back to us would incur a hefty charge (to us...not the customer of course). As such we have had to discontinue to ship to Portugal until they lower their high import fees/taxes/VAT for their citizens. In cases like this (where we do not ship into a certain territory) we do recommend that folks look into a freight forwarder option (if it's possible should they wish to get an item directly through us. Hopefully one day we can start shipping into Portugal again!

Now, now now...I didn't confirm that one was actually in the works just saying that I'm sure Obi-Wan would be revisited in the future given the popularity of Old Ben (or young Ben...whatever ones preference is).
