Popcultcha here in Australia don't seem to be listing any of this new stuff from Prime 1 for pre-order.
That’s pretty old news. It’s been like this since the breakdown of Prime 1’s relationship with Sideshow which occurred nearly a year ago. The last Prime 1 piece put up on Sideshow’s website was around February/March last year.
I do remember reading about that but I swear there's been a couple of new things added but it's stuff no one really buys. In fact pop seems more and more to be catering to the funky pop style of collector.
I really wish they'd pursue a distribution deal with XM or Imaginarium Art. I contacted them about not having the Efx Boba helmet up for pre-order and they said they still stock efx and to keep an eye on their new to pre-order section but that's just page after page of cheap rubbish .
Well it doesn't sound like the deal with sideshow is that healthy at the moment anyway. Eh whatever, once I get my ecto 1 I'll be pretty much done anyway outside of older MR stuff but it would have been nice to get the P1 skull leader.
If you get any of their premium formats or Hot Toy figures the deal is pretty good. If I were to import it’ll cost anywhere from 35% to 70% on top of what I pay to Popcultcha. And I still have half a dozen older Prime 1 preorder pieces to come via Popcultcha, which I also saved quite a bit on. When I’ve ordered the Exclusives from Sideshow they’re cost me $800 AUD more
I just hope Prime 1 improves their shipping charges to Australia as it’s a bit ridiculous at the moment. But like you I’m slowing my collecting down in the larger scale pieces as I’m just completely out of room. I recently preordered a 1/2 Queen Studios piece and I have no idea where I’m going to put it..... or even pay for it.
That the exact predicament I'm in with the ecto....
I very nearly got the Jetfire Optimus but I'm glad it sold out and the decision was taken out of my hands haha. Only problem is now I keep eyeing off Shockwave......
So they made this one in new scale
