Is there any fact in all this discussion or only conjecture ?

If Second Sight are worried about sales from rival retailers why not delist them for all products as Indicator did recently with HMV.

I can’t see them being worried about sales by only Base into the US. Zavvi are still selling this worldwide and Sexond Sight don’t seem to have said they will refuse to supply the order from Diabolik. Unless they go through a wholesaler so not clear to Second Sight who ultimate seller is.

Surely the issue here is the massively increased prices for international mail because of COVID which have been implemented between pre-orders going up and today, with current prices mailing a big box to the US now costs a fortune plus they have had probably had many complaints about delayed and lost packages for earlier shipments. So why take the hassle of mailing outside Europe.

My challenge would be to Amazon. If they can ship other items to the US why not DOTD. Does it come down to size and weight again. That’s where someone like Zavvi have it sorted as I believe they so like WoWHD of shipping items in bulk on large pallets and you only split into individual customer packages once it’s made it across the Atlantic.
