I always enjoyed their catalog books when I didn't have to pay for them. This could be cool though.

I'm really interested in this but i need to know more before i order.

Amusing it's cheaper from Amazon than directly from Sideshow

What i'm really looking for is a coffee table book with images and a small description and original RRP of every product Sideshow ever released.

I saw this first on I think Parka's site too or even HLJ. I see Sideshow just put up their page with images.

I only want the calendar for the previews. I think I'm going to order a Bianca Beauchamp calendar this year if she has a good one.

Is it? I checked and didn't see a points thing around. I'm pretty sure I got all of Sideshow's previous books with points. That would be nice to get it for free. Especially with the Spooktacular points.

I'm ordering from Amazon. $36 including shipping. Once when I was placing an order, Sideshow offered me a free DVD, but then wanted $20 to deliver it!??!!? I'll take my free prime shipping...

Not $20 to ship for the current book? I thought Sideshow doesn't have firm shipping prices until they get the item.

Sounds interesting (and I love these kind of books!) - may have to pick this one up!

I want to buy this but can't understand why is it cheaper on Amazon than SS direct ? Shouldn't it be cheaper or at least priced the same ??

Plenty of places sell SS stuff cheaper than SS.

 

[V8_Club]

Good point. But this being like an achievement type of thing , I would have thought they would promote it more than anyone else.

Funny how it's called "Capturing Archetypes" and the cover has the Alien maquette inspired by Nosferatu...
