Who lives in Australia?

Question.

It was mentioned somewhere in this thread. The company who distributes the Sideshow stuff to aussie retailers.
What was there name again? Do they have a website so we know when retailers get their shipments?

Hard to answer. Popculcha gets their stuff from the distributor. The distributors warehouse is in Geelong. Popcutcha is in Geelong. The two are separate businesses, but the two are in cahoots. Then again, Sideshows site says 'Sports Card'. https://www.popcultcha.com.au/

When they were known as Figuremania they were slow to update their site. I don't know if that has changed. I haven't been keeping that close an eye on them of late. So again. it's hard to answer. That's the website, but it wont tell you when retailers get their shipments.

Hm... interesting.

Yeah, I remember when they were known as Figuremania. It would take them months to update their site.

Yeah, lucky it wasn't that heavy.

thanks man! i check "most" online store nothing yet except collectoybles.com.au they selling them for $450

 

[The Tuggernaut]

Collectoybles has one at $450 but it's still listed as a PO.
https://www.collectoybles.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=222&products_id=3256


edit: oh, I see you checked the one listed there.

And I could've sworn I've seen one on e-bay or something like that for a decent price.

 

[Yodee]

$450 is abit overpriced dont reckon.. even the cammy coming out is at 355 at casefresh and popcultcha has vega selling @ 400 XD dunno if i should start gettin them =P

 

[theguru1]

That was me, and its Ikon: https://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/

It should be noted, that the ppl that own/run Ikon, more or less own/run https://www.popcultcha.com.au I know this because it pisses off a couple of retailers at times.

The other main one is https://www.croftminster.com.au/ but they don't really do Sideshow, they are however the main local supplier for Weta only statues. But really, your better off just ordering direct from Weta's website anyway.

Well, if you do get into them, it's a whole new line, and it will cost you a fair amount of cash.
But then again, they're the best Street Fighter collectibles around, and they do look awesome.

Up to you man.

So they distribute the stuff? I remember checking out that site once, and yeah it's a similiar design to PopCultcha.

Yeah, rather similar isn't it

Ikon are the Australian wholesaler for Sideshow (Australia really only has one now, especially for the higher-end stuff). PopCultcha are in theory just like any other Australian retailer, be that real store or web shop, they purchase from Ikon just like Kollectable Koas do for example.

Its just that there is a "business connection" between Ikon and PopCultcha, I don't know exactly what, but its like similar owners or something like that.

Bassic upshot, taking the Indy PF as an example, when PopCultcha has it listed at pre-order for $430, Koas couldn't even have purchased it from Ikon for much less then that, once you add GST, postage, etc. Sure, PopCultcha have upped the price now, but if Ikon/PopCultcha were making any profit at $430, then the price increase means a pure $70 profit extra.
