[XM Studios] Phoenix

[sarakawa]

man, I've been doing some estimated calculations in my head based off of current and previous XM prices and I think Phoenix might just be out of my price range. I could probably swing it but man, she's gonna be PRICEY. Even if I am lucky enough to get a chance at one, I may have to pass on her.

I hope she stays at $899 SGD for selfish reason She MIGHT be higher... And looking at her, she's Hulk+ shipping rate... so 300-400 for shipping. Yup this is a pricey one.

But ask yourself this question, how does this one rank among your collection, even among your POs... I have all the stuff you have PO except Thor. I would easily give up a few statues on your list for Phoenix.

I hope XM gives us a solid po date soon. I'm trying to prioritize my purchases with all these things coming out from various companies. Thanos is next week and that's a must get. If Pheonix is going to be down the road for sure I'd go ahead and get the ARH Death Dealer.

That death dealer is really nice

Her price should be similar to. Magneto. I don't see prices going higher.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing... Your kind of getting two characters sculpted with Phoenix, her and then of course the Phoenix itself... plus it's solid cast so yeah it's defiantly not going to be cheap... But I think it will be around Magneto's price...

Hey guys in Canada, how much have you or are you paying for your XM pieces to have it shipped here. Bmutha I know youre from the Edmonton area (at least I think so Lol sorry). This is the only piece I'm realistically thinking of getting and I'm scared enough as it is about PO'ing from all across the world Lol and as long as there is someone you guys trust and CA recommend I don't mind doing it. I don't think I'll want to pass on her but the money is a problem

I haven't actually had one shipped yet...I jumped on the XM train at Magneto, so I'll have to wait and see. Kenny is shipping FedEx, so I think it'll run between $200 and $400 depending on the size of the statue and current rates.

On top of the figure itself? So $700 plus 200-400?
When is Mags expected to come out?

Yeah, man...shipping is really the killer part.

Magneto is listed as Q1 2015.

.... and then probably $200-300 for custom acrylic case.

I want to see it painted first while it seems like everyone is already jumping the gun on the Pre-Order!

****. Does this include duty? I paid 18% duty on shoes from Italy. God knows what this'll cost

Lol or just put her in a Klingsbo (I could only imagine Gow beautiful shed look.

I think everyone would, but with XM, we just don't have that luxury for the ultra popular characters. But think of it this way...is there any XM piece out there that has terrible paint? With that amazing Phoenix sculpt, I think we can assume it'll look equally amazing painted.

Usually I only have to pay GST. You're in Ontario right? So, you'd have to pay HST or whatever you have. I've never had to pay "duty" on a statue EXCEPT when I the seller uses UPS or FedEx Ground...brokerage fees are not included in those services.

You can't wait really with the hot characters. If you do then you could find yourself missing completely. Just lock one up and if you don't like it there will be a line of collectors looking to pry it away from you.

That's really what I'd prefer to do also, but the rush to pre-pre-order is forcing my hand. I really don't want to wait and miss out. And like wanderlai said, I'm sure you'll be able to recoup any deposit.

Thankfully I shouldn't have to do that for Ms. Marvel.

Weird me too normally. This was my first time and I was not happy paying duty because it wasn't from a NAFTA country. ****ing NAFTA

I know right

I'm probably going to get this, but I want to make sure I really like the paint first before I order.

Thats a good question. I don't wanna cancel DC pieces for sure and I'm already going to cancel IP and transfer that NRD to Boba Fett. I realize Phoenix is a must buy for a lot of people but she's not really to me. I would LOVE to have her but I'm not quite sure I'm willing to drop 1k or more shipped on her. Wolverine is the only "must have" from XM for me so far. It's not really about cancelling current POs. I'm not the kind of guy to PO stuff just to PO stuff...I do it cuz I really want something. So cancelling something I already have POed doesn't happen very often. The only piece in my list I am cancelling is IP and I've been on the fence about him for a while but after the proto for mark 42 and mark 2 went up at SDCC, I have lost faith SSC will ever do a worthy IM PF. All this being said if I get the chance to PO Phoenix, I will more than likely do it

This man is wise.
