There seems to be a lot of flux in shipping prices based on availability of aircraft and ships right now. From what I understand, it’s become a bit of a bidding war as the supply is very limited so prices can skyrocket very quickly depending on how badly you want something shipped.

Not yet. I received a notification she's about to be shipped. I really don't understand how Prime1 works and maybe the shipping cost is just a placeholder, I don't know? But, I'll keep you guys updated. I do know Optimus is paid for shipping about $200.

they should have multiple options for people who don't mind waiting a bit longer.

That HMO Mai box was larger than some 1:3 piece boxes I've received. I'm hoping $150 is ceiling right now for these shipped (slowly and within the US)

Insane shipping price and doesn't add up. I paid $325 to ship XM Hulk Transformation to my NY address from Specfiction. That was the slower option though to be fair, but $700 is insane.

Just received the 2nd & final notice. Sadly- $764 is the final tally. And that's standard. I can't imagine if I did express holy ----!

Not really surprised. P1 is now charging 536$ for Katana. Today, they are still asking for 150$ for Injustice 2 WW, but how much tomorrow?

They can literally put on a tortoise and take months to get to me if it saves me hundreds of dollars in shipping cost.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly round trip to Japan and pick it up from the factory?
