1/6 Sideshow Labria - Scum & Villainy

How does the price compare for a US and international (say UK) buyer buying through Sideshow vs KG Hobby?

For me in Australia, it's significantly cheaper, by probably around $100 AUD.

Plenty of Labrias to grab.

Wow, is that because of shipping (ie Sideshow charges more for international shipping) or the actual figure price?

It is a bit strange this was specifically sold as a quite low edition size that was 100% exclusive to Sideshow, only for it to show up for pre-order to anyone globally for somewhat less. And I don't think there's any exclusive accessory with a Labria bought through Sideshow (like Walrusman and Greedo have) because the figure itself was supposed to be 100% exclusive to Sideshow.

I'd feel pretty miffed if I ordered this from Sideshow then discovered I could have gotten it cheaper at another retailer.

Miffed? Oh, just wait...

Yeah the shipping from Sideshow to Aus is extortionate. KG is free.

How did you get free shipping? Is that a membership or something? When I place it in cart at KG and go to checkout it has a calculated ship cost.

Could be a regional thing, being in Australasia. Shipping was 0HKD

Even cheaper:

$300 delivered.


I cancelled my order with Sideshow and ordered from Kit as it worked out cheaper factoring in Sideshow's delivery and the inevitable tax, even though I apparently lost my NRD. (My reward points were returned to my account though).

That will be the new way to preserve RP's...

If you have a lot, like $100+ and they are starting to expire and there's nothing you want, use them to PO something pretty far out that's relatively cheap. Then cancel the item, eat the NRD, and have like $80+ returned to your account and then use them on something you want...

It did cross my mind when I saw them return to the top of the list.

EDIT:

I meant to add, if you cancel early enough you get your NRD back too.
