I can already picture an XM 1/4 Grievous wielding 4 LED powered lightsabers in a dynamic pose....INSTANT GRAIL!

A big part of XM’s Star Wars product lack of success is the territory restrictions put on it. If it was a worldwide license it’d be much more successful as SW isn’t that popular in large markets like China. Without the US it’s hard to sustain. Add to that the Disney approval process and you’ve got a line that sadly sn’t worth the investment for the company.

It's the biggest issue no doubt. I'd have ordered this beauty in a nano second if it had been easily accessible. I'm surprised XM don't use Sideshow as Prime 1, Iron studios and others do...

Why would they? XM and SS don't really get along.

Yea that would be a very good way to provide us these beauties and for them to make huge profit.
Cannot believe how ridiculous is the fact XM Studios cannot make Star Wars statues for these stupid reasons.

Do you have to get along to have a partnership that potentially makes both of you a lot of money?

I'm not saying they should, just that it would be nice if they could work something out. XM statues aren't really an option for many of us currently.

Sideshow pretty much hates XM.... It's a one sided thing as XM has had nothing but good things to say about SS...

Fair enough, I havn't really kept up to date with XM news. I guess it won't happen then...

When XM came on the scene it created something Sideshow hadn’t had to deal with for years. Real competition! SS didn’t like their monopoly on certain licenses being threatened and went out of their way to jam up XM... and it worked, to a degree.

Fast forward to today and SS now has numerous companies competing with their own product across multiple licenses and instead of fighting it they’ve embraced it by adapting their business model to become a middle man distributor as well as a producer. This way they get their piece of the pie. It’s a shame their greed seemingly burned that bridge with XM rather than forming a mutually beneficial partnership.
