Never did....all of the hulabaloo about waiting for replacements and some replacements wouldn't be issued because of such and such.....so I kept mine. It has only minor scratches thank god compared to some of these guy's pieces and not noticable when displayed although if I could get about $600 for it I'd let it go probably and go for this....to me this is the definitive IM piece even if its Movie based.

You didn't send yours back. I wonder if I should do the same. It's not gauranteed you'll get a new one, like you said.
 
Who's going to want to buy a SIM when shipping it is so dangerous is my question..

Obviously people are buying them but it sounds like a headache on both ends of buyer/seller.. Just like the Old West Ghost Rider would be a nightmare to send/recieve..
 
No, I would take a damaged one, because I want it repainted in by the board member Ickwinzs. This is one of his many repaints. I think it looks way better than the regular SIM:

Shipping Iron Man isn't a problem, if you actually wrap it in some tissue paper instead of lubing him up and surrounding him with plastic.

Thats bull^^^^. If Sidehshow offered it to EU through the EU warehouse they should honor it. If it is really not possible they should ship it out of the US warehouse to your guys for the price of shipping it from the EU warehouse.

They did the same thing with the Speeder Bike but offered the same shipping costs if it shipped from the EU warehouse. But not this time which sucks:emperor

As it is now financialy, i was gonne cancel a bunch of stuff to keep the one'e i really wanted, including Ironman. But now, i will have to cancel an item or two more because of the shipping:emperor
 
I was gonna ship a a Wolf Bio, which is 21 lbs. in the SSC box and it was $114.40 with $250 for insurance. The 1:1 is 35 lbs. in it's own carton, so I'm guessing it's about 37 lbs. all told. Just to the UK, that $141.60 before Insurance and that's just with USPS. I don't even want to know what the UPS or FedEx prices are!:monkey4

Sorry guys. That really sucks!
 
Sorry to hear that guys.Would it be cheaper to buy one off Ebay during the inevitable flood of these right after they're shipped?
 
I agree with Zoid!! You guys are better collectors then me.. $380 for shipping is insane!!
 
It would be nice if they offered the EU shipping costs insted of the US. Or if they offered to ship it with UPS or Fed-Ex from the EU warehouse. So when an item turns out to be oversized, they can offer one of the two (whichever is cheapest).
