With a 30” shark the box would likely be a minimum of 32” long if it didn’t break apart and require some assembly. The boxes to ship the boxed shark would again need to be another couple of inches bigger at 34 or 35.” If any of you have been following that Mythic Legions Dragon crowdfunding campaign, you’ll see that shipping such a large item really balloons shipping costs quickly. The dragon is $75-100 in just shipping from the eastern to western side of the USA. I can only assume NECA ran into similar issues when factoring in all of the additional costs for a full scale shark. The Shark itself could have maybe been just $100-200 but the shipping could have tacked on another $100 or so. And certainly retailers would balk at such a big and expensive item for their shelves.
I’d still like to see NECA tackle a bust of Bruce like those Ozark sharks. Most of us really just need a decent front part of the shark for most displays. Something big enough to fit Quint in and it would satisfy most of us.
