Rogue cost more to buy. The Import fee fails to make sense?
The Import fee is 4x that of Psylocke: X-Force Variant?

Maybe i got lucky with Psylocke: X-Force Variant?

Yeah i see what you guys in europe are saying about the import tax....on ebay if you buy an item like a statue for a couple hundred bills through the ebay global shipping program the import tax is around 20% plus international priority shipping.

So if you buy a 1/3 scale statue for $1000 final costs can easily be around $1500 plus sh

Thanks. A keeper

Yep....this one is a keeper

Why not the EX?

For those who have this in hand, is the body of Starfire very heavy? Since it doesn't have a metal rod through the flame leaning is the only thing holding me back.

Did you see a tear down of the flame or something? This has stopped me as well.

I dislike EX's that involve a separate piece that has to be placed elsewhere away from the statue, or next to the statue.

Starfire is not all that heavy. Unlike the base, which is quite heavy. The metal peg that slots into the base is the largest in my collection. The metal peg is square, not circular, and is about 1cm in diameter. It would be interesting to know how far up the flame the metal peg/rod travels?

I would imagine it isn’t solid beyond the 1st seam. That is why I ended up not preordering. I hope Sideshow put the right effort into one that looks like it could easily develop a lean.
