I don't even need that, just the mask. I'm hoping they will replace it, but I'll be sure to report back either way.

Hey Gary. Can you let us know what you pay for duty when it hits our Canadian shores. I'm still thinking of biting that bullet for the DX.

Gladly. Keep in mind, I'm in Alberta so I only have to pay GST.

It'll be interesting to see what happens here. If Prime 1 codes the statue as a "toy" on the declaration, we shouldn't have to pay duties, only tax. Also, I don't believe we should have to pay duties or tax on the shipping fees, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

In the past few years, Sideshow has changed their coding for statues which has resulted in duty fees. I've tried to appeal it with Customs Canada and my claims were rejected.

As an estimate, including my final payment yesterday, I've paid $3413 CAD for this statue(including shipping). If shipping was included for duties and tax I would owe:

Duty x .04% = $136CAD
Tax x .05% = $170CAD.

This brings you to a total of $3719 for this statue. FML

As someone who ordered the Victim along with the Pred, I can’t justify paying for Standard shipping given the Victim is not even being given a ship date! Economy is the only sane decision in this situation and I’m not holding my breath that the Victim will be out in time to arrive alongside the Pred.

That is even higher than locally within EU, but unfortunately have to wait for at least 2 months (ETA around end of July).

Hope it turns out perfect / the first real post on SF mostly is

Yes, the tree will be one Big box also.
August is on website, so prob around Sept, but they have a lot of products around that time frame, so who knows..

This is the message I received from P1 when I asked them when my statue will ship:

"Thank you for contacting us. Usually, it takes 1-3 weeks to receive the tracking number. Please do not hesitate to contact us If you have any questions."

LoL. Hilarious.

Is it express shipping? I think my City Hunter took about 5 days to ship after me being charged, and then a few more days to actually get to me.

Express is my only option. They're citing COVID as the reason for the delay.

The brown dots suck, especially on the left side of the forehead (our right). Seems to be this way on most of the ones we've seen so far, which makes me wonder if the stencil they're using is the problem.

I suppose it looks nice enough on display, but how the hell do they mess up the forehead dots on this when they did such an immaculate job on the Fugitive?
