I'm kind of curious...very low EX statues free shipping costs double points on the reg versions...did Sideshow really think these wouldn't sell and just low balled all the numbers with extras to encourage the sales?
They prob saw this as an opportunity to bring old collectors back and suck in new ones. They can do things that are promotional in a way to spark new or old interest. They do it occasionally with other pieces. Give them low ES hearkening back to old SS.
