Nice thought but it won't fly unfortunately. Sideshow will only ship to the registered address of the credit card holder. Which rules out forwarding companies.

I don't want to seem like I am defending SSC for this, but I am thinking they didn't know how limited the amount they would get. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but this could be HT's fault for limiting each regions release and allotment. Just like they did for HK, and Singapore.
I might email Sideshow, or call them here in a bit to see if they can say why they limited the availability to US only.
If it's not so limited than why did they exclude it from the rest of the world? 
They also only gave Hong Kong 800 and Singapore 600. I'm guessing it doesn't have a big of a production run like the original Mark VII.
Shame on them for not mentioning it beforehand though. They just pissed all over their international buyers.

$295 before shipping, yea try again SSC
I'm getting more with the current Mark VII and it's 50 bucks cheaper, I don't care how limited this figure is, I paid $180 for the Avengers Mark VI and it was even more limited than this

That is not true. You can easily get around that. You can set up a "Work Shipping Address" and get it shipped there. Or you can simply just call them or emailed them saying that you want to have it shipped somewhere else. They will email you a form and you will have to send a piece of ID with your name and address and a copy of your credit card.
Trust me dudes... trust me.
Just went back and re read listing.....so..is it me or does it not say anywhere regarding FLAT RATE SHIPPING that SSC has been pushing down our throats these last couple of releases?? So on top of $300...shipping might be $10 + also? It definitely doesn't say FREE SHIPPING anywhere...
Hot Toys Jack Sparrow exclusive was also limited to the U.S., and it was produced out the wazoo.If it's not so limited than why did they exclude it from the rest of the world?

If this wasn't 1 piece per address, I would have been in touch with you already
I'm in toronto too but this is BS, which company do you use?
Good point. I find it odd then that they would limit this so much then.
I don't doubt the nbrs may be less but folks were talking selling out quickly etc. I fully believe everyone will get theirs just may be thru different distribution.
You should contact them, I'm curious. And I don't buy the whole "it's really limited so we're going to only make it available to a select market" thing. What kind of message does that send to your customers? US and select Asian markets are the most important, so let's focus our energy there. I'm not a marketing expert, but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
That doesn't hurt them unfortunately mate because for everything you cancel someone will just step in and take the order.
Only thing you can do is to email them and tell em how frickn disgusted you are. I know I will.
Wouldn't mind so much if they hadn't baited us all by having us sign up to the damn alerts.

if anyone from outside the US wants one I'll get 2 if you'll cover the price and shipping, although I can hardly see anyone wanting one that bad, your talking $350 plus at that point
the price of this figure makes the diecast price looks justifiable
