You know, if the T-shirts were like $30 or maybe $35 I would not mind. But I think these are way OVER PRICED ! I know artists that sell thier own silk screened shirts for like $25 bucks, nice art too.It's almost like holding the SBrains for ransom. Just sell'm allready-Shitzzzz

I just noticed the new shirt they added. I like the shirt I ordered more, but I think I would have went for this one since you get a cup too. I'm a sucker for swag.
SHAPE, I agree with you. I would have much rather got this for $60 from S7, and I am not ecstatic about overpaying for a T-shirt. The only reason I did was because, to my knowledge, this Brain has only popped up on ebay once, and I believe there is only 1 on YJA right now. I'm not taking any chances as this is one of my favorite SB pieces to date. I'm feeling mixed emotions right now, but at least I have a Brain on the way.

Span is insane on shipping international. I pre empted and asked for a shipping quote when S7 first released their shipment. They couldn't quote they said as they didn't have the particular toy, but gave me a price of $40 (  ) to ship one of the SB figures they did have in stock. EMS or not, that is waaaayyyyy overboard!!!

cheers for the heads-up creaturion!
having purchased a pushead print from span awhile ago (and being charged $50 for postage) I'm well aware of their shipping costs.... it wouldn't even be so bad if their EMS charges were accurate!!! - the print arrived and the actual cost to send was $27.45
so now I've purchased the plush brain (+ t-shirt) figuring it'll be my last chance at getting one - and it's cost me $38.00 in postage fees
anyone wanna hassard a guess what the actual shipping cost will be this time??

I have had a bad experience with span before...
After this I will never shop at span again
total cash cows
worse than flippers cause they are running a store
i almost started another thread about this but caught it here
span will never see my money, i'll go to ebay or without
before giving into their tactics of sales

I'm glad I'm not into this one (I know I know) otherwise I would be pissed right now. That is some serious way to sell product that wont move...... its really fucked up.
The only release I'm looking forward to is the damage brain.

I'd have bought that brain in a heartbeat, but I'm not buying a $65 T-shirt to have the "privledge" of buying the brain. Pfft...
I wonder what Hiddy would think of this dick move...
