Tavegg is the unofficial face of xmstudios and regardless of what he says there 8s an underlining "xm can do it better!"
And they can.

I wouldn't say spokes person or face as I have no official affiliation nor monetary benefit for my support but fanboy I will humbly admit too. I've taken an interest in their company from the first teases of Captain America and after seeing how they react to their customer base, the quality of their work, and their mission to deliver excellent customer service on each and every release is astounding. How can you blame me? (General statement shifty not geared at you specifically)

Please don't take the following statement as arrogant or pompous because it's not my intention. My financial situation is better then most. I can afford the prices that XM resellers charge for their product much easier then most of the general population. I'm not a surgeon nor am I rich but I am doing OK in the income department. I'm extremely confident that if XMs merchandise was sold here in the states (the retail price as a prestige member would be much better and the shipping cost would be a fraction of the price) there would be less nay sayers and more buyers then most would probably admit. Antman for example. 720 SGD for premium XM members. Shipping is free in Singapore. They pay $575 to have Antman and a number of other characters shipped to their doorstep. Is that an outrageous price? Hell no!!! It's a bargain for what you get. My opinion of course.

I don't have to worry whether or not my statue is going to show up busted. I know the statue will be solid cast. I know the paint app will be perfect. I know there will be a limited amount of the statue that I am buying made available to the rest of the world. I get to register my statue as my own. I can bank on a half dozen switch out parts and portraits for my statue.

This is how I truly feel and why I choose to buy XM product. Superior? Yeah i think so. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it because it's my freaking money. I'll still buy SS stuff too but my expectations are at a ground level and I expect something to be wrong with their product when it arrives. If not then it's a nice little and much cheaper surprise.

Aight!!! I have spoken my piece. Now you all can see the transparency and my reasons for proudly backing this company up. Right or wrong this is my perception
 
True say man, if I could get an XM piece in NA I'd probably buy some pieces for sure. Even though getting through members is a possibility I would rather be able to do it through a company that I can hold accountable as well as not have to pay like $200+ for shipping. You make a really good point man.

Thanks bro. I appreciate that. Not everyone would agree but it's logical right? Thor and Throg. 440 plus 100 is 540 for the two right? Add in shipping at 40 bucks your up $580 at your doorstep. Antman and mini Antman $575. I know this isn't a true comparison but it's defintely ball parkish.

Yeah man like $540 plus shipping to me is an additional $100. So yes it does make sense. And I like the low ESs yeah I love these characters but to be honest have lower edition sizes is a wicked plus. Ppl that say that its fine secretly wish it wasn't Lol IMO

Theres a reason PCS sells 500 (two different exclusives) E Hondas in less then an hour bro. It may not matter to everyone but it sure as hell matters to some
 
This one I'm lost on buddy. What proof did I provide or are you referring to? Only asking. I known your statements weren't meant as an attack and I'm not being defensive. I just don't know what you meant and I'm curious

You stated that retailers received Cap pf samples already per pics via facebook

Absolutely James. Perfect comparison. Let's not forget that with XM you'll also get great paint apps and a solid cast for your $$$. Shipping costs is really the only pain I feel when ordering an XM piece. I don't mind paying a slight premium for everything XM offers. I still think SSC is missing out big time by not having a fully sculpted 1/4 premium line themselves. Oh well, if SSC doesn't want my business, I'm happy to put my collectible $$$ in XM's pockets. Especially when it comes to Marvel pieces. SSC just misses on their Marvel pieces way too often for my liking.
 
I think he meant SSC's Cap, not XM's. At least, that's the way I understood it.

Theres the rub. I did mean SSC collectibles Captain America Statue in reference to the samples and artist proof. He probably thought I was referring to XMs captain America I'm guessing? Not sure how it would be misconstrued as my statement was a quote of his post saying that the SS cap would be shipping this month. Which I was confirming as I had already seen samples of the actual product and another collectors AP. Savage can back me up on the video. I showed it to him. I wasn't full of ****

I don't see the confusion. You did state Cap PF in your post. XM doesn't make PFs so I understood exactly what you meant in your post. Some peeps just have XM on the brain I guess. :lol

Yeah your right as is Shifty. I know people see me as TaveggXM. I'm not nieve to that and I understand why. Just funny to see how much some people are foaming at the mouth to take a shot at me. I've always liked Ink. I really have. I had no idea he wanted my head on a SS stick. Guess there's alot of silent hate for XM in here or just over zealous fanboys but whatev. I'm still going to do my thing regardless

Don't sweat it brother. It's not hate, just scared.
 
This is all very baffling for me. Unless your personal livelihood is at stake because of the existence of XM, I just can't fathom taking pot shots at them...as a collector. I love SSC but having XM around is freakin awesome. It has renewed my excitement in collecting a bit with their low ESs, unbelievable detail, amazing interaction with the consumer, and overall pleasant display of tranparency to all us collectors. Yes, they are expensive and somewhat unproven as they are new to the game but I am super excited they have arrived on the scene. If we get some north american distributors that can lower the prices even more, hallelujah! I think even Ink will agree that that would be a great thing for us collectors.

Well, seeing as XM has basically taken over the Marvel thread, I can see why SSC fan boys may be a little sore. I could care less either way. I collect from both companies and have zero problems with peeps speaking the truth. I actually enjoy seeing collectors speak their mind and calling it like they see it. It's a quality I like in peeps whenever it's applied fairly. You my man, are very fair in my book so just keep on handling your business.
