So optimistically Will be able to buy them for Retail + $50-$80 shipping instead of Retail + Middle Man Commission + Stores Commission + $200-$400 shipping costs...
That's my hope anyways  |
Yeah... that was the point of the whole damn WW license.
Now we are two statues into the license and I don't see any discounts.

That's from SC and SpecFiction buying directly from XM and not going throw GFX which will be able to sell the statues to SC and SpecFiction at wholesale prices...
Right now they have to pay Retail to XM and then add their profits on top of that before selling to us.... That's what I'm assuming anyways...

Supposedly they are being shipped from the U.S., so it appears they are probably using GFX (only U.S. distributor). The statue is $600 on the XM website. I'm not sure how much XM would have charged to ship to U.S., but unless it was over $225, it would have been cheaper to directly order through them.

The shipping would be around $300 is my guess. Though it's fairly small so it could be less.
There seems to be no discount, if I were ordering Top Cow, I'd be doing straight through the XM site to get the Prestige Member benefits. Screw the middleman.
Once XM is allowed to have a bigger market share, that Prestige is going to be gold.

We just don't know what the actual costs are, what price does GFX get them from XM at and what price do retailers pay to buy it wholesale from GFX... without that info it's just a guessing game...
I will say that most XM statues now a days are around $1000 shipped so getting this for around $800 shipped seems to be some savings...
