I got the brown costume 1, but I like this 1 more.
I'll never understand this whole low ES talk. I couldn't care less, I buy a piece because I like it and want to display it. Also, considering just how many statues come out from the main players, smaller fringe companies and then customs, I don't know who can really keep up. So a low ES just makes it a pain in the ass to try and source one after it's sold out.
From my perspective, popular pieces from low ES companies like XM just inflate the price of a lot of pieces. For example, I would absolutely love to own both the Iron Man and Captain America Age of Ultron pieces from Iron Studious but they only made a few hundred and a large amount of collectors seemed to to have bought them out and flipped them for 30-50% (online store fronts more like 100% more) more than the MSRP so that really just means I'll never own either piece.
Now I'll just have to wait and see if I get hit by Australia Custom fees and GST (which could also be dependent on the shipping carrier). Any Australian who has received a statue here recently know any thing about this?
Lol you guys are twisting this so much. The ES isn't the be all and end all... you're making it out that because I said I hope they don't do a huge ES that I only collect these for money..
Having a low ES is a bonus ...
So is price if it's low
So is a nice ex swap out
So is cheaper shipping
So is a company continuing a line of characters
All these things are an added bonus to a great piece.
A lot of people don't like high ES because it can potentially create Quality check issues too. I personally don't care why or how people collect. If you want to keep a piece in the factory box I don't care, if you want to buy 3 of the same statue idc, if you want to collect statues with a low ES/customs idgaf. Do what makes you happy. That's what I'm doing
I'm pretty sure they revisited that legislation before it went through and the $1000 threshold remains. I just got IS Vader through SS and was free and clear. Carrier was FedEx.
Even if this gets an ES of 10000 its still a lot less than 7B+ on this planet. Im happy lol

There is always cause and effect on everything. If you want low ES, then the price will be high and vice versa. SS is there to make money(that is their core business) and therefore they are maximizing number pieces they can reproduce while maintaining healthy market meaning everyone can get their hand on the piece without paying major markup price and yet still create interest on the old and new collectors - why do they want to give scalpers a major profits when they can have all of it? High ES does not mean reduce quality perfect example Green Phoenix. Producing small quality would be good for people who can get their hands on it or scalpers but frustrate many people who cannot get it on time, and on top of that, what do they gain out of all of making small ES? NOTHING. Moreover, once awhile they will produce small quality of pieces to create interest and fun for collectors. It's kind of rewards for collectors but yet not over doing it because again ROI for making small ES would not be good. It's just my 2 cents.
SS mention other X men character they are making?
