Its funny that some make comments about the middleman issues. Isn't that what SS is for a lot of the companies that sell product? Not saying that's bad....it's great that SS is willing to distribute for the smaller companies. I am happy that more are willing to see and acquire art on a worldwide scale and SS helps in that regard. Bravo for that!

It sounds more like people have issues paying exorbitant shipping fees than the middleman (which is fully understandable). Should be blaming the cost of the shipping companies (Fed Ex., UPS,) and any taxes, tariffs, and other federal fees imposed by said governments, states, etc.
Wow spot on imo. Thanks now I don't need to type.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I'll consider it if it's 500 or less and has a light up lightsaber. If not it's a pass. Any COH, hooded cloak, swap outs I'll take as bonuses but won't affect my decision. Kylo, with a hopefully TFA only product price bump, had nothing and was simple in terms of design and execution and it was freaking almost 600.

Best we can hope for is one change of hand if Kylo Ren is anything to go by.
You didn't get Spider-man?

No, I didn't. If Sideshow does for Maul what they did for Spider-man in terms of change outs and at that price I'll PO him Day 1. I'd love for Sideshow to surprise me, but I'm expecting a bare bones release for over $500.

I'm on board for this ! I would love some extras but a museum Darth Maul that goes with my other PF's will be one of my favorite pieces.

I'm late to the Star Wars PF game, but I'm trying to collect villains. I have the newer Boba Fett, the new Vader on PO, Kylo (used reward pts to get him for $300), and now I'm hoping to add Darth Maul. I just hope they don't go overboard on the price. I wanted to get the First Order Stormtrooper, but I just couldn't justify the price consider the generic pose, etc...

I'll probably get Maul regardless of price, but it doesn't mean I have to like the price lol. I'd love a switch out portrait - one with the stare and one with a snarl. A light-up saber is almost necessary, but its SS... so all bets are off.
