The only time buying the pieces separately is a negative for XM is if that option cannibalizes the sales of the set. But if this XM Thanos and Mistress Death are as good as people are saying, then that shouldn't be a problem.

Honestly I was out on Death once I saw the price but the fact that she will come w/o the options only furthers my decision to pass. Had all the options been included it would have made it a tougher decision.

I'm looking for a photo where lady death can be seen alone.
But I can not find any.

The people that want the set will buy the set regardless of the options. That's one group of collectors.
You get 2 more group of collectors buying from XM if all options are included with the separate purchases. One group that want Thanos only and the other group that want Mistress Death only.

They don’t lose revenue it’s MTO no more than 999.

XM started their business saying that unlike sideshow, they won't do exclusives. They made it a point to say all of their statues are complete and exclusive already. We've had event exclusives but all statues were complete when we POd them. This (along with Cyclops) looks to be a shift in their business philosophy. Can't say I'm fond of it.

I think it blows but I can’t see them doing this again . Nobody orders the base model . It will be interesting to see where they go from here . The other huge issue I have with XM is turnaround time . Sideshow is killing them from debut to production time . It matters to me . Waiting two years for pieces is not happening for me anymore . If they want my business let’s start keeping deadlines folks .

Very true on XM's turnaround times. I can't imagine anyone likes the long wait. The only knock I have with sideshow is their fast turnaround times can sometimes lead to shoddy QC. At least whenever I've received XM merch, QC hasn't been an issue for me personally. Hopefully the trend holds with my upcoming transformation HULK PO.

I would guess that there's a logical business decision to offer the extras in the set version only.
Not sure what they're thinking, but I'm sure they didn't make that decision randomly.
