$4 shipping? really?

The dude must be renting an apartment above the factory to get $4 shipping - or he missed two 00's after the 4

I think they mean BBTS, where the Alita statues are $784.99 (for the regular) and $1,099.99 (for the deluxe), but shipping is $4.00. Due to this markup at BBTS (a first for a Prime 1 piece? The others don't appear to be marked up over Sideshow) it may be cheaper to order from Sideshow and pay what they charge for shipping.

Just got back from seeing the movie in 3D. Pretty great! Sure, some lines of dialogue are cheesy, but overall, I loved it. Amazing portrayal of Alita and her world. CG Alita should be used as a virtual celebrity and cast in other, unrelated movies. Yes, she was that good. She was stunning.
One thing I don't get, though: even in the movie, when she has this body, her "skin" sometimes covers her upper shoulders, then sometimes doesn't. Either there's meant to be some kind of mechanism at work there, or they just forgot to change it. They might as well have left her shoulders on this statue as they were before, not that it looks bad per se.

The true Alita is a lot more svelte than this figure but then, this is a statue of the movie actress so not fair to compare. Would be nice for a statue to be made of the manga Alita down the track. Still getting this DX though.

Yes I was actually referreing to bbts, and I did notice some other statues had markups although not all, which is interesting. I calculated even with the 5% rewards from sideshow and assuming the shipping is greater than $50 to California it is cheaper for me to order from bbts pay the markup and $4 shipping.
Also I watched the movie! Avoid reviews until you’ve seen it! I’m going back on Sunday to watch it again!

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I had assumed it was 1/3 this whole time based on the price I saw for the deluxe version. The price baffles me for 1/4 scale. They must be seeing a lot of value in that base... There have been 1/3 pieces with similar portrait/accessory change-outs for close to the same price (or the same price a few years ago). I know there is more going on in that base than the Arkham bases, but geeze....

That may have been the price in years past, but it’s pretty obvious that the standard price for any new Prime 1 1/3 scale starts at $1,099.00 USD for the regular, with Deluxe/Ultimate versions $2-300 USD on top.
