Trip Down Memory Lane...
I was bored and went through some of my first Sideshow orders. Can't believe it's been over 10 years collecting.

Ahhh $8 shipping the good ol days. I believe this was shipping from the USA to the UK. I think they had shut down the EU warehouse by then. Even if this was EU shipping $8 isn't bad at all either.




And this is when I moved back home to Taiwan in Asia. Shipping was still good. Prices as you can see had been creeping up for a good while now.


And this is my latest from Sideshow. Shipping now would buy me half a statue from the good ol days. Yes I think quality is better now but still....from $300 --> $715.
Haven't purchased a statue since COVID-19...wonder how international shipping is now.

Funny how Apocalypse was $600 which back then probably caused a lot of gasps and "this price is ridiculous" chatter. Now, this is a bargain for a Premium Format of that size.

Wow. My first Statue was the newer Wonder Woman that I bought back in December. $8 shipping seems like a wet dream now lol.

I will give them this though, Since I'm in the US I don't think I paid a dime in Shipping from 2015-2017 because of all the free shipping deals they were doing at the time.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.
