As far as missing out goes, I don't think you have to worry with anything that has an edition size of 500 or more. So far, Prime 1 pieces are barely holding retail on the secondary market because they're expensive out of the gate and there isn't a lot of room for them to grow. Even with the best pieces, it's probably gonna take years to see significant price appreciation.

This stuff is amazing, and Prime 1 is really ramping things up, but these aren't gonna catch fire on the secondary market for the most part.

So the gist I'm getting is it's still cheaper to get it from SideShow for U.S. customers than the Prime 1 Studio international site?

It's cheaper for sure.

The appeal of the site is that they have exclusives available that have been sold out for a while on SS.

No real point of this if you live in North America. Not sure why the base price is not lower if buying direct....i would assume they save money by not needing to ship it to sidedhow/sideshow making a profit.

Was $350 to ship scarcrow to canada....usually it costs say 90 from sideshow..... so shouldent the statue be at least $200 less if you buy directly since you are now paying the extra shipping to north america....

does not really mske sence.

1-We know that it will cost me $350 to ship a $900 scarcrow statue from Prime 1 to canada according to the prime 1 site

2-we know it will cost me around 90 to 100 to have the same $900 scarecrow statue shipped from sideshow (usa) to canada (lets assume $100)

3-lets assume then the cost of prime 1 shipping the statue to sideshow is $250(350-the $100 that it costs to send it from sideshow to me)

4-so why would buying directly not be $250 less? Are they taking a loss on statues when they sell through sideshow ($900.- their own cost to ship to sideshow-whatever cut sideshow takes.) so they only make $650 or less when they sell through sideshow but no discount on the statue or shipping when buying directly?

If ppl want additional distrabuters let me know, i can buy the statue from sideshow and then tack on sn extra $300 arbitrarily.

Would like to hear a rep explain this, or maybe im wrong

I was going to order AK Batgirl EX but $350 US shipping is a bit too much. I'm curious, how does this work. AK Batgirl EX has an ES of 500 on SS site, sold out, but on P1 site the ES is 250. Is this a different statue that will have a different base? So instead of 1500 total ES (500 EX and 1000 Reg on SS site) there is now a total of 1750 ES?

Or is it saying that SS only had 250 EXes allocated to them so now P1 is selling the other 250?

Not sure if anyone clarified this yet, but is there an import duty for buying the Prime 1 statues in the US from the Prime 1 website? Or after checkout from the Prime 1 website, the price you pay there is the price you pay (statue + shipping). Do we know?

Someone (perhaps you?) posted this exact question on FB. Check John Pam's answer in the post of the website launch.
