The only one that COULD pass is the Mark 42 at 719€. Still overpriced, and it's plenty available from Singapore too, but at least it doesn't have a ludicrous mark up.
I have a bad feeling about this, honestly.

And i´m from germany. I save €100 if i do not order from heldenshop, but pay still FedEx air shipping and customs. I get Thanos or Phoenix nearly €150 cheaper.
And guys try to tell me any reason why this pieces going cheaper with new statues in 2015?

I am with you on all the things you are saying. A European retailer shouldn't be more expensive than a Singapore retailer, especially with the high shipping costs for these regions to us...
And here we are talking about BIG markups on all the XM-statues which is also not something I totally understand.
Maybe it is better to wait on some official news from XM before drawing any conclusions...

Grumpy, you participated in the discussion on the German forum. Weren't they saying that the prices for the 2015 statues would be cheaper?

Yup, I'm waiting for official news too.
As I said, I exchanged a few messages with the shop. He told me he is an official XM retailer, then told me that "his distributor" is importing XM pieces in Europe, but "for now" he is the only retailer who has them. Things don't add up to me.

Seems indeed all a little bit strange... I am happy I could order all my XM-statues via Simply Toys, they really have sharp prices on the XM-statues. Even with shipping and customs like Grumpy said, it will be a lot cheaper.

Yes there are a few words about that. Like if i can sell the 300 statues, i get the new ones in the future and to favorable conditions. But on the other side he push the last day the hulk from €719 to €819. The meaning of "favorable conditions" is wide for me.

Even at 700 € it would be expensive, for the standard priced ones. I thought that Semic was expensive, with 699 for standard ones, 749 for Wolverine and 799 for Magneto.
I mean, seriously. These guys buy the statues at wholesale price, have them shipped via sea and probably also have more favorable customs fees (that are more favorable anyway, since the overall and unitary value of the goods is much lower).
I understand that a retailer must have his markup, but it can't be that they cost as much or more than ordering direct from Singapore, with express shipping and full customs.

Yes, the heldenshop pricing is just a pure joke. If it starts now that other EU distributors can sell XM statues it will be easy to be cheaper as this shop.

I still don't get it how they could get so many XM-statues? Do they even have all these statues?
