I live like 3 hours south of SS. I would expect them to offer me shipping rates from SS to me, not from Asia to me.

I really hope they offer the closed mouth bust. That would be great for using my rewards points before year end.

I've loaded Prime 1 items into my cart with SS just to see what shipping would cost as I'm also very close. Still expensive. I imagine they'd charge around as much as SC for this.

Thinking the same. I wonder if it'll take as long for SS to list the bust as it did for the statue.

So Secret Compass has it for $3298.90 shipped. Does this include tax?

Sideshow's comes out to this when I pre-order it:

Items $3,004.00
Tax $292.89
Shipping Pending
Grand Total (Est) $3,296.89

So if SC doesn't hit me up for tax then I'm coming out better than if I had ordered from SS.

When SC announced they were carrying Prime 1 a couple years back, they said they're not required to collect sales tax outside of Colorado.

Bit frustrated to see this up on Sideshow tbh. I ordered direct only because they put up the low stock alert and I didn't want to miss out. And now rather than actually selling out, it's been listed on a major distributor for sale also. Prime 1 are clearly playing the fomo game with this one and it's worked. I'm going to message them and see if I can switch my order to SSC without losing my NRD, but I doubt that'll happen.

Regarding the version on Sideshow, it seems weird that they'd have so many pictures to choose from, then they'd use only a few and include the image of the bonus parts if this isn't actually the bonus version. But them maybe they just have no idea what they're doing and we shouldn't assume too much. The bonus parts aren't listed in the description after all.

dbl post.


Although I'll mention this. The sideshow version has a max of 8 flex payments. And the first one doesn't even start for one year tomorrow! This is going to be a long wait.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

It's good that Sideshow is carrying this as that should mean more ways to get Prime 1 stuff and availability and options are never a bad thing.

If they put this up earlier I could have used my $450+ rewards points on this via SS, but I'll just order something else. I'm satisfied with my Secret Compass order though, especially knowing I am getting the DXS with the bonus parts.

Sideshow don't have the bonus version, I just asked. But they are going to try and get it.
