230 for me. My half scales were this price for shipping. Don’t get it. It’s 40 more if I went through Prime 1 direct. Might be better from now on to buy direct from Prime 1, plus you get it earlier.

I got my notice 230.00 for shipping? So in the next 2 years shipping will increase to 300.00-350.00 plus.. I can see it coming already. 100.00 shipping increase in one year???????? What is going on?? Is this one double the size of the first guts?

Lol.... Now that is not fair for local buyers. I live in the east coast end so at least that is my own fault. But 2 hrs away is stealing from collectors. This hobby will eventually put itself out of business. Taxes will be next for those who doesn't have them yet.

I never received the email, but it’s on my account. Damn $230, live in Louisiana. Prime1 Dark Knight was under 100, which was also 2 boxes. Oh well, still looking forward to seeing it in person

I still can't believe the price for shipping jumped so high nothing jumps in price like this there has to be some reason for it.

I know jack about how shipping works, so forgive me if this sounds stupid. But could this be some sort of result to avoid delaying it another month? I dunno.

We should always expect inflation, but a 100 more in just a year is disgusting. People paying 200, 2 hours away is absurd. BA Guts looks to be a lot less going on than the other one. Zodd wasn’t as much and way bigger. I’d rather have payed the 40 more to get my money’s worth in shipping direct from Prime 1. Been waiting to PO 1/3 Guts from SS but may as well go through P1. Replacements have to go through them either way as well plus you get points with them. The stupid shipping prices are another reason why I hardly buy statues anymore.

I think sideshow probably switch shipping company or had a dispute with the current company, so the discounts probably is now void. Looks like regular shipping cost now for buyers. That's the o only explanation I can see for the double prices. It looks this way.

For people who buy direct from Prime 1, have you been hit with any import taxes/surcharges on the statues? If Sideshow starts charging these prices for Prime 1 statues, might be better to just buy direct from P1.
