Exactly. XM may as well make the base the best it can be.

XM is trying to stay out of the oversize shipping rates for these Marvel products. So whatever base they are gonna make is going to stick within those guidelines I would presume.

I assume you are including shipping and import fees as it actually translates to $787.77 CDN.

$899 SGD is like $710 USD. Shipping will probably be $120 usd. Factor in exchange rate, it's probably around $910 CDN. Add custom charges and handling fees is around $105 +. Expect Canadians to pay aprox $1015 or so. That's still a lot of $$$

When people are comparing SSC to XM, though you get better detail (on some stuff on XM), you are paying $400 more per statue. Not many people can afford that.

Yeah it is and i NEVER EVER thought we would spend this kind of money on a 1/4 scale figure but in todays times these higher prices are becoming more of the norm so if you really have a favorite character or someone you really like that you don't have in your collection sometimes you have to take the risk and take the plunge….Its only money right? Cant do anything with it when were dead so spend it up and my husband has almost died twice already in the last 5 years so i say spend it up now because you never know when your times up!!

The way I look at it is with these low Edition Sizes and given how High Quality they are, this is truly a rare high-end collection most people will never have, not just because of the money factor but because of the low ES and the fact that there are a lot of people that still don't know about XM yet...

For me it's very exciting to own a rare collection of statues... And I doubt there will be any statues in the near future from any company that will be able to rival most of the XM statues, especially there latest releases with Magneto, Phoenix, Wolverine, Hawkeye and Thanos....
