Well Sideshow is the easy target as they have been around the longest.

This is only my 3rd XM. I have not gotten it in hand yet, waiting for it to ship. Would all you say this is a solid reason to cancel and get a full refund or not?

Just asking the opinion, I plan on keeping mine as I don't anticipate displaying it with others.

But now I can understand that you are a little bit upset.

If you don't care about scale or plan on displaying her by herself, then you should order her. If scale is important to you (like it is to me) then I'd advise you get your money back now or steer clear of her.

I think it's vastly superior to SS, but it's clearly a different scale. Although it didn't look too bad next to XM's other X-Men statues?

It is noticeably larger than other XM 1/4 scale XMen. She dwarfs Storm and Dark Phoenix.

The more you guys talk about how big she is, the more interested I become in the piece.

Just got notification that Secret Compass is shipping. Shipping was very high to the US. Curious on those that have this or have it on order how much was your shipping cost? Mine is $371.45

Well, there's a few sellers on Facebook that have a couple to sell for $1,100 USD.

I paid $190 for shipping to Los Angeles, Express, so yes you paid too much.

I just planned on displaying her behind juggernaut so she will look tiny next to him regardless.

I paid around $190 for 3 day air...

I'm not saying Secret Compass is trying to rip you off on purpose it could be he doesn't have the connections to get a lower shipping price, or maybe he charged less for the statue and offset it with higher shipping?

hard to say...
