Got my shipping notice for $230 as well, something is not right. I remember paying $160 for Zodd and just recently $85 for 1/3 Arkham Cat. Speaking of which I should probably unbox Zodd and Lady Maria before those other two get here.

Here's a Guts Berserker Armor review:

Ordering directly from P1 won't be cheaper than SS, The shipping price is the same as the statue it self.
I ordered Guts the Black Swordsman directly from SS and paid 460 $ for international shipping and import duties.
I'm guess the increase in shipping charges is due to the statue shipping from Japan to the U.S which is expensive so SS has to compensate for their losses.
It would be cheaper if the statue's shipped directly from the factory.

People on the fb group have said they've been charged import duties on their pieces. I think for USA customers Sideshow will still be the cheaper option. The shipping prices from Sideshow are unexpectedly high though. They're almost the same as ordering direct from P1.

SS is cheaper when buying anywhere in the world except Asia and probably Australia.

Thanks for the information, I was wondering where to buy my future Prime 1 statues, directly seems to be the best choice (if I want a deluxe or ex)

Anyone being charge $200 plus for Berserker armor reached out to Sideshow about it yet? I'm curious to see what they say. I haven't received my shipping notice yet but it'd be nice to have a heads up about the increased cost.

This combined with all their website issues lately...sideshow is becoming ----show.
