That's kinda what my idea was all about except it would be a professional environment solely for US distribution and whatever other uses (like convention marketing) XM can benefit from.

Yeah that sucks. Maybe the amount is determined by the demand in the Philippines...? I was thinking on statues I missed out on like Magneto...maybe my cousins could send it in a balikbayan box! So I wouldn't have to pay shipping! Lol!

Their allocation of high demand character is base on their past order history, you should ask them how many Cap, Hulk, Mk42, BW they ordered, I am willing to bet each of those number is below 12.

Anyone who's received XM from Mark or Kenny. Do you know if they used plane or boat for shipping?

I'd say, plane. I recall people saying it took like 2/3 days from Singapore to the US.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Yeah, I'm thinking air. I'm only in Aus and it left SG 5:54 pm on a saturday, got to sydney just after midnight on the sunday. Not sure how long a ship would take but I'm guessing longer than that.

I use FedEx International Economy mostly (4-6 days). But can use Priority shipping too (1-3 days). I'm looking into sea freight options now.

Problem with shipping by boat is someones got to pay to get it from XM to the boat and then from the boat to you.

Definitely don't need priority. I've waited so long on these, a few days won't matter, especially at a massive up charge.
