Is there any reason to order from BBTS over GoodSmile direct? Prices seem about the same with the 50% shipping on preorders through GoodSmile.

Goodsmile has been really good on my end. Sometimes things are delayed, but such is life. You'll always get your order.

Nothing is wrong with BBTS, except that their import figure prices are usually higher then anyone else. Their shipping is cheap; also they have a hold system, which is great if you’re a regular.

But that Sadako has a goodsmile shop exclusive part just FYI. Also Im not sure the shipping would make up for those higher prices.

Shipping becomes super reasonable once you register. They knock off 50% off shipping prices. Priority USPS ends up being like 8-9 bucks.

Generally speaking BBTS has a few major points in its favor. It’s super reliable, the pile of loot and flat rate shipping are super convenient if you preorder a lot of stuff, they pack their stuff very securely. They are rarely the fastest option or the cheapest. If you find a much better deal somewhere else you should generally go for it.

I love BBTS because cancellations are generally painless unless you’re getting something REALLY expensive where they require a non-refundable deposit. I’ve never even actually had to do that.

But yeah, if you’re talking imports, it’s usually best to go through somewhere like amiami or Nin-Nin or something.

I like some of the seasonal ones but they keep falling just below my line to buy them to have as decorations.

What store has the skeleton clone trooper? I might get that one if I saw it in person.

ASK ME ABOUT MY
UNITED STATES MARINES
FUNKO POPS COLLECTION



Goddamn the Joytoy Space Marines are great. They absolutely blow the McFarlane figures into the garbage. This little guy has paint, accessories, can stand by itself, is posable, and fits nicely on the shelf. I will say, the pegs holding the holster on(so you can switch between the holster with heavy bolt pistol in it and empty holster if you want to display him holding the heavy bolt pistol) are very tight. I'm not going to be swapping between holsters very often. And the grip on the banner is quite loose. It's pretty easy to balance it but for long term display I'll want to add a drop of sticky tack in the hand and on the bottom of the banner. But those are minor quibbles and overall I'm very happy with this guy



gently caress now I really want one of the Dreadnoughts....

Got some Galactus shots in better light. No sunshine, here in Oregon we won' t see that again until June.







When I like something I try to tag the creator so they know, it’s probably nice for them to see positive feedback. I was happy, I got Ryan North to see my Galactus & Squirrel Girl pic. I’m a huge dork like that.

That guy rules and I’m excited for mine to show up, but it’s taking its sweet time. When they emailed to say the item had shipped I went and checked the tracking info and it was waiting for the post office to pick it up, which I thought was kinda BS because that’s really not the same as shipped. After that it’s been kicking around at processing facilities in Missouri and who knows how long it will take to actually arrive in the wilds of Northern California.

I feel like I’m more excited about that figure than I should be, I’m not the world’s biggest Sentry fan but it’s just a really fuckin cool looking toy, I love the design of that guy and the cartoon bright colors make such a huge difference over the last ML version.

Mine took 3 days to Oregon so hopefully yours arrives soon too. Make sure you put some guns in those trigger fingers!

I also don’t care too much about Sentry, but he’s a good looking toy. He’ll fight Galactus with guns akimbo.
