I can't believe people are paying upwards of $140 dollars for that drat Baroness set. That's crazy, it's a 20 dollar figure with a bike that's barely painted that retails for $40.

He's got his roaring face head, Wich makes sense. But then his alt head's expression looks like he walked in on his parents having sex. The second head is based off his look from the original 30s King Kong

As disappointing as it is to me to not find it, at the same time I used to find the Skywarp/Thundercracker two pack the same way (which is to say I didn't find it) but now you've often got two or three on the shelves when I go. It just pays to remember to not reward scalpers.

Tomtrek posted:God drat... this might be what makes me buy my first Hot Toys. If you're not American, it's never worth buying from Sideshow (unless it's an exclusive) because if you're already importing and having to pay fees, may as well import from a Hong Kong store and get it a month or two sooner.

Those are nice, and their reward program is pretty solid too, but I mean you can also do flex payments yourself at home too.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Very nice display!! I still need to pick up that MUI Goku at some point. Thanks! Yeah, the MUI is a great figure overall and nice to headswap with other Gokus if you just want a general battle damaged figure. He got a large production since he’s still in stock everywhere, but I also wouldn’t sleep on it. These things usually double in price once their initial stock is gone.

The_Doctor posted:Kapow Toys would probably be best, so you’re not hit with import fees. Aphrodite posted:If you're not American, it's never worth buying from Sideshow (unless it's an exclusive) because if you're already importing and having to pay fees, may as well import from a Hong Kong store and get it a month or two sooner. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on Kapow Toys. It seems like Sideshow's site usually looks cheaper than buying from a company over here, but I'm guessing that difference is made up with the various import/customs/shipping fees.

Aphrodite posted:Wait you have customs and VAT? I thought that's what VAT was. VAT is sales tax and applies to all goods. Customs applies to imported goods. Technically most or all US states require you to pay sales tax on all purchases, regardless of where you buy them, but no one actually bothers with that, and customs is applied when imported, which you'll definitely pay, if required before getting the good.

Right, I had always thought VAT was a duty not just regular sales tax. Does the UK have a schedule of dutied items? Here in Canada, action figures don't have a duty on them. Annoyingly though statues do.

I was in the same boat here, as someone who lives in USA, I generally haven't dealt with Customs much at all, but I had thought that VAT == Customs fees. I had no idea it was just the alternative term for sales tax.

Yeah, customs always tacks on an additional $55 or so. Ahsoka is a bit of a grail for me so I am fine with it.

I just got a notice that the Black Series Chopper re-release will be delivered on the 1st, which made me happy but also reminded me that there is still no The Client figure. Without a small Werner Herzog my shelf remains forever empty.

A couple of local Wal-Mart's came up as having the MotU Mini's wave 1 "blind" boxes in, so I decided to hit one or two up. First one, got A-C, and D-G ( Missing Trap Jaw "D" and the chase figure Slime Pit He-Man "H" ). Went over to the other Wal-Mart about 20 miles away on the opposite side of where I live, they didn't have any on the shelves and the kid working there just said flat out that they don't carry them, and that the website lies about stock all the time.  I didn't have high hopes of finding Slime Pit He-Man due to scalpers, but i did want Trap Jaw in non-mini comics colors.

Open Marriage Night posted:Anybody know if Hasbro is planning to make a proton pack to go with the neutrino wand that’s coming out next month? No word as yet, but never say never. The neutrona wand doesn’t appear to have any connection ports that would hook them up together anyway. Your best bet would be the $70 proton pack you can pick up from Spirit Halloween (now open!). They look really good, have lights and sound out of the box, and there’s a whole modding community if you want to make them better (the neutrona wand that comes with them is a little small). Here, use this:
