Are you waiting for the USA Prime 1 warehouse

Since most all of Prime 1 statues are limited, are you gonna wait and Hope for Sideshow or the new warehouse before you order?
Or bite the bullet on shipping and order directly from Prime 1.

I've already bitten the bullet and ordered my 1/3 Guts direct from Prime 1. I'm guessing all of this will be figured out by the time that one ships. I think for me the real question is, on their in stock items do you wait or not?

This uncertainty is just a way for me to save money. I don't "need" these statues, and I dont plan on being out customs fees because of a breakage.

Even if the statues that I'm planning to get were up for PO (Damned Batman/Joker, DKR Superman,) no. I'm not paying that much extra for shipping. As someone else already said I don't need these things, and I'm just not paying that much extra on top of how much they already cost.

I also am starting to believe that these statues are not as "limited" as they may appear to be at first glance.

I mean the EX Hush Batman went on Waitlist at Sideshow almost immediately after it was put up for PO yet I put myself on the list for it like a month ago, and got an email shortly after to convert and now I should have it by early next week. I think they are VERY conservative with the stock #'s/PO's at first and then over time people on the WL's just convert.

Similar situation with the Arkham Catwoman. The EX was on waitlist for quite a long time and then all of a sudden right around the time they started shipping, people converted.

One thing I've learned from this bobby a good amount of people will always back out of buying something that has a decent price tag on it, making it easy to scoop up at a later date either directly from the manufacturer or once in hand of regretful buyers.

The resale in this hobby is beyond astonishing.


To the original question, there are two must have DC pieces next year, but I will not order until they has a US solution. I'm in disbelief they've let this linger this long without one.

Seeing as P1 won't ship Transformers stuff to the US I have no choice but to wait till either SS gets stuff in again or P1 opens the US warehouse. I better not miss out on Bumblebee's Optimus and Soundwave.
