Revanist Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) As per usual the US only. :mad: The fact I've collected Sideshow for years and anything to do with ToR is redundant. Great. Forget the rest of world as per usual. A disgruntled lesser fan. (who should be used to being sh@57ed by Lucasfilm by now!)

JGames Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm down to win something as cool as this. I probably won't win though. Never really won anything good in a draw like this in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 USA only... shocking. EA, and Bioware are Canadian companies... you'd think they'd be a little more aware of how alienating and irritating it is as a non USA customer to be ignored as though insignificant. I get that contest rules can be a bit confusing. But its not breaking news... have a plan for your non-usa customers and launch it at the same time... I don't care what it is... something of similar value and available to all of your customers, send me a check and I'll buy a statue and figure out shipping... ... or just don't do it at all...

Orlesian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Aww, as usual we in Europe has no chance to participate. Oh well... that statue would have looked nice in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanThursday Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Does it say "This... is Darth Malgus. Do you have my pills?" If not, why not? More seriously, being US only is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evgen Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Are people really surprised by the US only thing? Almost every contest I have ever seen for anything has been US only. A quick Google search will tell you why. If they had made it a blow up Darth Vash doll I'd have moved to the us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyar Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Am I the only person who sees it clearly says you have to pay for the taxes of the shipping, not the shipping itself. The winner is responsible for any taxes applied to the cost of shipping. Taxes and value of the statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHobbit Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I wonder how long before this shows up on ebay? unless ther is some ban on doing that. reminds me of big winners on let's make a deal, having to sell a lot just to pay the taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHaiku Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Looks like an awesome competition, but I am _so_ tired of being left out just because I'm not living in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarakin Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So, what are you gonna offer your non-US residents then, BioWare? Is our subscription money not good enough for you when compared to our US friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliagIxaheirao Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) This contest is only open to U.S. residents WOOT WOOT ... who wonders to spare some credis on shipping by a price of 6k$... whine Edited April 16, 2012 by OliagIxaheirao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Santa Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Totally worth it to increase any chance of getting laid in my apartment again. Fixed that for ya.

Hyfy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Why do people still think this is some personal attack on them because it's not offered outside the US? It's been explained to death already. If you take five minutes to read through some you would see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marginal_error Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) I order things from SideShow Collectibles on a regular basis. You should see my "second room". It's filled. Why then, can this "contest" not be available to residents in Canada? The shipping is a little more, and go figure, there are border fees, but come on..... The funny thing is that I was already considering ordering one. I have one of the T-800 lifesize from a few years back. Oh well.

dannomite Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 They could stand to set up regional contests. Bioware Edmonton could handle the Canadian contests, and I'm sure EA has an office in Europe. Doesn't have to be a 6k statue, could even be t-shirts, promotional stuff as prizes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal nightmare, impossible, herp derp. Nothing at all to do with the company simply choosing not to make an extra effort to include more customers.
