nah this is completely different with regards the weta items. sideshow has never gone the open es route with a vengeance like this in the past on their flagship items, galactus, lotr rider pf reg, and now hulk back to back to back.

fuzzy is right, they are testing the water, if the order level remained the same or even just slightly lower, expect many more open es on all popular items in the future. Batman pf reg is very likely to be open es...

How is it different? Cause I know it's not since I've been collecting long enough to have seen it then and now. This isn't as I said the first time they've made open ES items (more than 3 items in that line were open). Now, they may be wanting to see the demand of an open ES on popular pieces like the hulk can be to judge if it's something to use in the future

You guys having the buy direct from SS v's online retailer debate think about us poor Brits.
There's a respected retailer asking £600 ($944) plus shipping.

Ouch mate. That is a crazy price tag. Please tell me you were able to secure one at a more reasonable price?

When people don't order directly from Sideshow, I am assuming they are getting better deals from Sideshow distributors (talking about regular edition pieces). How much are they really saving? 5%? 10%? Just going to understand this portion of the market a little more and whether I should wait for local distributors for this piece.

The international customers are in a total different world than you lucky guys in North America. As an example Brazilian customs handle packages from USPS and courrier companies like UPS/FedEx/Purolator/DHL differently.
When the package is shipped via USPS when it gets to Brazil it's handled by Brazilian postal service and I get nailed by 60% in import taxes over Product price + Shipping price(yes! Brazilian customs charge taxes over shipping cost).
When the package is shipped via UPS/Fedex/Purolator/DHL the package is also handled by the same company(UPS/Fedex/Purolator/DHL) in Brazil. In these cases Brazilian customs charge us up to 95% in taxes.
So it is better by from another dealer that ships it via USPS than from Sideshow that only ships via UPS/FedEx.

Yes, it is a tough world for Brazilian collectors!

Picked it up for £445 ($700) delivered from a great retailer I've discovered recently. Very happy!

Any one know what the shipping cost will be on that big green bad boy?

Just stick with SSC. It would probably cost you $25-$30. They have the cheapest shipping prices to for all North Americans buyers.

I bet that when HT starts previewing the 1/4 Avengers figures the demand for this Hulk will go up even more. Even if HT does their own 1/4 Hulk I'm sure it won't look *this* good, and this one has the added bragging rights of Legacy being attached and Ruffalo himself gushing over it in those on-set promo pics.

LE or not this piece will be epic. A must have for me. I just need to plan when I will place my order. Logically I should wait until in hand pics show up since there is no rush but my impulses are telling me to place my order soon.

 

[Collectorcol]

Pull...the...trigger! Pull...the...trigger!

That's totally understandable sarakawa with a righteous piece like this one.

Pull the trigger right away has saved me big time. The place I ordered from is already sold out.

 

[Arctic Beast]

You know how it goes laudel. You spend a few years here and you learn which peeps have a similar POV. It's only natural to enjoy some peoples thoughts and posts more than others. There are A LOT of cool members here. It's why I spend so much of my time here.
