Agreed! People seem to be ok with this thing being twice the price of LBS Mags/Thor/Cyclops/Cap. I can see another $500 or so, but it shouldn't be more than $2,000 before shipping.

You think we are getting 3 huge torsos for $2000? Lol ok. I mean, that'd be nice but it's not happening. Shipping costs are more or less out of their control but a normal 1/4 in one box is usually $300 USD+ to ship...

Obviously anyone talking about $3000 (approx) are referencing the deluxe version or whatever they are going to call it. No one is expecting a single torso to be that much?

No, all three torsos should be expensive. I'm thinking one torso should be at $2,000 max or lower compared to the previous LBS statues. I'm not really mentioning shipping here, but those costs seem to vary greatly depending on where you order from.

Yes, as Jay has finally revealed. But not many have expressed their excitement for grey version. I hinted around of a grey hulk a few pages back to read reactions to the possibility, as others had in the FB pages. There wasn?t much of a demand. I will however, be going grey. My XM Transformation will represent my green Hulk just fine.

It's not going to be $1000 to ship. Unless of course P1 was making it . Your original comment said you wouldn't be surprised if it was $1000 to ship.

my comment was:
we should expect shipping to be ABSOLUTELY NO LESS than $500 but be prepared for $1000 + for the single torso version.

^I stand by this comment ^ It's a logical, fair assumption. Shipping being $1000 is highly unlikely, but would be wise to "be prepared" for this situation as opposed to being blindsided IF ---- hits the fan...and let me tell you the fan is on and the room smells like farts.

If this is $1599 this will sell like hot cakes.

Yeah, it'll sell out very quickly if it's that price. I still think it'll be $2000+ for the single torso... Hopefully closer to $2000 than $2500 but I honestly don't know anymore prices have gotten insane.

I also believe anyone who thinks this is going to cost sub $500 to ship, that I have a bridge to the moon I'm willing to sell you.
