Yeah, not good. If you're anything like us, you'll have to pay at least 20% vat on top of the total price including shipping also. Hopefully they can find a way to get the rates down again in future. But I guess they were raised for a reason.
I'm just worried about the Coolprops P2 bust I have on order, it's massive!! But I ordered it happily knowing how good sideshows rates were, that has now changed...

I am in the same position. Have several items on pre-order which I placed late last /earlier this year and at the time I thought shipping was still at the old rate. I wonder if a cut off pre order date for honouring the old shipping rates is in place or if new rates will be applied regardless. Also, if the new rates are to be applied regardless of when pre orders were placed if we can cancel and get the NRD back?

The Savage Opress PF had a light up saber AND base for $400. This has no light up feature at all and costs more. How can this possibly be $120 more than Savage???
There's no excuse for this. Absolutely none.

Well it looks like we have our answer and it isn't good. It's a bare bones PF and there is no justification looking at the piece to warrant this price. I'll pick up the Vader and Boba Fett PFs and then I'm done with Sideshow's Star Wars line.

If the $520 includes free shipping then I'll bite. Figure $30ish for shipping and puts price below $500 along with reward points. Hopefully edition size will be set at the start like the other new PFs.

Well on the one hand as Viper mentioned we have our answer... prices on SW PFs have gone up drastically across the board after the Sandtrooper just a couple months ago. As I suspected what Episode the piece is from has nothing to do with it either so EPVII licensing fees are not the culprit. Bottom line these are the new price points. Take it or leave it I suppose.
Speaking for myself I'll be using my remaing Reward Points on a future purchase (not this) and then I'm done collecting product from this company as I've officially been priced out. Those of you buying this... enjoy your $600 PFs with minimal switch-out parts/alternate display options and no light-up features.

this is how they want to play the game.. until they get rid of the free shipping one day and bam you have again a price increase
I just can not believe they are loosing right now a lot of customers with whats going on... it must hurt them and they must feel it, no?
