Don't think the hype's as strong for this one. GR was an XM exclusive (whatever that means...) so it kinda drew in the flippers as well. If people didn't have trouble getting Fett in (it was on pre-order during STGCC 2015 and recently went up for pre-order online), then I don't foresee any issues with getting this. Nothing's for sure, but I reckon it's a safe bet.

true... They have the talent and characters like venom, Thanos and magneto they can do a very well job. Only if they really wanted to take the extra step.again only if they wanted to do it.

I feel people can spend what they want on each piece they buy. There is no reason to "LOL" someone as it may be disrespectful to their collection. I dont know why you feel a 1/4 scale is not worth a certain amount. Is your reasoning because of Prime 1 statues being 1/3 scale, and the bigger the better? Just trying to understand your logic.
The truth is US buyers like myself can buy at retail SGD prices plus a small middle man fee. The killer is the shipping on each piece.
XM doesn't care about the size of the box, or weight. XM cares about the Statue design first, and then once created boxes it up and then we find out how large of a box and weight will be. These are all made out of Cold cast Porcelain, and weigh between 30lbs to 70lbs depending on the piece.
I do feel a bit tired when paying 300USD to ship an XM piece. I'm hoping that XM is making enough profit to eventually strike a License deal with Marvel have them sold in the US.

Amen.
My most recent XM shipping cost was ~$370 USD (and that was for Speedpost... put in the mail last Tuesday, and it still hasn't left Singapore yet). That's one of the reasons why I've got to get out of the XM game. It's no fun paying nearly the cost of a statue just for shipping.
Some of the other people I've bought from have gotten good corporate discounts from DHL (which isn't so bad).

The shipping really is the only downside. I think these statues are more than worth the extra money, but when you tack on as much as $400 shipping it's a killer.

Just wondering, are these 300$+ shipping fees the real amount it cost to ship from Singapore to the US, or are they just inflated prices for the seller to make a little more profit?

That's definitely the price, unfortunately. It costs over $100 just to ship these things across the US.
