I think they’ll be more than happy to refund the NRD’s on any Prime 1 pieces.

I read and heard that a few collectors have already cancelled their orders with Sideshow, with the NRD’s etc refunded and have simply made new orders with Prime 1.

I’m thinking that they’re intentionally pricing the shipping higher just to get customers to cancel, just so that they can wash their hands with regards to Prime 1 pieces.

I just checked Prime 1's site, and shipping for Swamp Thing is $332.00 for economy and $746.00 for standard. At this point, I'd rather spend the extra $18 and not have to go through the hassle of cancelling and reordering.

They gave me some pushback yesterday about cancelling the P1 Justice League Batman 1/3 after receiving a delay notice. They claimed that a piece had to be delayed 90 days for an NRD refund. I replied that a few people had posted on FB about getting a refund on the very same piece after receiving the delay email, and even named those people. Finally, they looked at my account and said that since I'm such a good customer, they'd allow the refund, but mentioned that it won't happen again.

So yes, I got the NRD refund and my points back, but had to press the issue or it wouldn't have happened.

Yep, they must have seen the posts and corrected that standard shipping.

If an order on the ss site has been delayed more than. 90 days you can request a full refund, p1 or not.

Canceled and got my NRD back.

Just got this one in yesterday after pre-ordering back 20 plus months ago. I have some lighting coming in for this today. I'll try and post more pics then. The shipping on this was ridiculous and made me consider canceling. The Alan Moore run on Swamp Thing is in my top 5 of any comic run and this was a must for me at the end of the day. It took a bit figuring out where all the parts hanging off the tree went bit overall pretty easy assembly. This will be a centerpiece of my collection for sire, first and maybe last 1/3 scale piece. Overall very happy with this Beast!
