Don't calculate shipping prices. Everyone pays different shipping prices and tax depending on where you live. So, just compare the retail price for both.

Exactly, I don't understand it either. This piece is also bigger than Juggernaut. Seems people just enjoy complaining now.

I personally think that a lot of people here have really deep pockets and should just buy this for me. In return I will sacrifice one of my Hot Toy 1/6 Iron Man Reissues on top of a mountain....publicly, and eat Tony Starks head whole.

Exactly. One thing collectors come together on is calling out high prices...SS Juggernaut was no different.

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

We all knew that this hobby wasn't cheap from the day we bought our first statue/Hot Toy. There is levels to this hobby. You just have to find your lane within it and ride it out. I'm sure you all know that these prices aren't going anywhere.
I was always told that perfection CO$T!

I get your point, cost isn't so much my main problem it's the height of him, not the cost. So when you can't use 2 swap outs unusable because it can't fit in my display case thats a bummer.

Yep they thrashed the heck out of this piece just on that alone, took forever to sell out as well. Has one of the lowest ES's of the X-men line because of it to. On any thread, people often comment on how they had to cancel P1 pieces because of shipping fee's and others for shipping plus import fee's.

The exclusive went on waitlist before it even was released, I believe it went on waitlist the day they showed it at the con. If you are talking about the regular alone then yeah that one took a while.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. Pre-ordered via HC.
Are they really in Seattle? If so, awesome!

Interesting...should help with shipping. I wonder if they allow pick ups.

If they allow pick ups it definitely would help. I asked Todd of SpecFic about this a while ago, and he said that they still would charge me something to help cover for the freight shipment over here. It would probably be the same for the HC company.
