Awesome. I ended up going for it late last week after I saw some in-hand pics on Statueforum. Now there's some great one's here too. Can't wait for this! The MR is AMAZING, but a little large for my collection, this looks to be the perfect size...not too small either!

Geil, just wondering what you were charged for shipping as mine is coming to Toronto as well.

 

[Geil]

I ordered both. But pricing was weired
Model kit Fedex Y4486 EMS Y6000
Assembled Fedex Y15628 EMS Y6260
So was not sure what to expect.
Ppl low stock on the assbled one now as expected!!!!

Wow, so that's almost $75 via EMS and (cough) $190 via FEDEX! I'm assuming you chose EMS?!

 

[Geil]

Yeah. You ordered without realizing the shipping cost? Too bad no shipping promos but beats paying U$800+SH from SSF . I could care less about the "original" case as I can easily make it myself without paying another C$300+ for just that which that is insane!! Besides I don't like the woodbase anyways

[Indiana Fett]

Yeah, I'm with you there...I could care less about the wood base. I'm cool with the $300 product price and the $75 shipping via EMS. Can't wait to get this guy!

That would be awesome! Shoot me a PM when your time is freed up a bit and we'll work something out!

On back order now!

 

[Jay1138]

Oh baby that's tempting to get. For $300+ shipping not a bad deal.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Looks fantastic! Pretty good price but still out of my range.

The weathering looks "meh". Those streaks are overdone. The model itself looks amazing.

I think it's really just the overspray on the rear vents that looks a little heavy. That's a common occurrence, even with build-ups that I've seen. That's not make or break for me and I plan on adding and touching up a few details here and there...

Speaking of which, just got my confirmation email that my Falcon will be shipping soon. Woo-Hoo, can't wait!

Geil, I live in Canada as well and I was just wondering if you know how much EMS charges for brokerage fees. I'm okay with paying the GST, but I'm worried that the brokerage fees could be really high
