And for other products that I buy (which aren't as large) shipping is usually cheaper to send from China than it is from the US to reach me here in Australia. Which makes total sense given that China is much closer to me than the US.

I know DHL and other couriers have been supposedly increasing their rates of large scale parcels, but I guess it could be that Sideshow is absorbing a larger portion of the shipping costs than Prime 1, and they probably have a larger bulk discount than that of Prime 1 as well.
it's just prime1 greediness, selling thru their website they have already higher margins, plus most shipping quotes are comparable with prices without any special contract with the delivery company (if not even higher!).
I bet my two cents they are just trying to get money from both statue and shipping.

so uh, Guts and Kenshiro have been upscaled from 1/4, safe to say Goku is also slightly over quarter scale?

Pretty much everything from Prime 1 thats 1/4 is much bigger so i'd imagine Goku would be the same...but maybe because of his pose it won't be so obvious.

I am wondering when that statue will arrive, I guess there are many delays due to coronavirus.

I'll be glad if they release it in 2020... personally I am guessing early 2021.

Really contemplating this piece. Goku and the various portraits are so well done. DX or fail for this one!

I'm jumping on this train, huge DBZ fan and this is the best resin Goku that exists. Like GaryTonge said, DX or fail. I'm gonna pretty much rock that SS3 head all through.

Where will you guys be ordering it from? I'm probably going to go with Secret Compass.
