Ah, I was hoping it would actually be a bit later. Do they normally announce it like Kit does?
Start count on your fingers folks, Iām guessing thereās at least 112 figures there lol.

Inart release same % for everyone in China
Whatās the definition of small and large batch? Itās about volume vs volume
18% for us may not be able covering 1st day orders but 18% for others may cover day 10 order
Now the question isā¦ how much is the shipping charge?

I took notes to compare before ordering.
KG offered āfree shippingā for Aragorn just like yourself and came out cheaper.
OneSixthKit:
Premium- $480 - Ā£397
Standard- $335 - Ā£277
KGHobby:
Premium- $448 - Ā£370
Standard- $307 - Ā£254

Ouch, itās pay in full 3% off?
if not, thatās a lot cheaper, I am shocked
We should stop discussing KG as I shouldnāt challenge you and KG
Just wanted to point out itās kinda misleading in your first post, as I said, Inart release same percentage for everyone at the same time, thereās only one reason why a retailer didnāt get the first batch - his order volume is less than 1% of total volume, if first batch is really tiny

Yeah, I knew I was being misleading when I wrote it but was too lazy to edit the comment.
I have no idea who gets a larger batches or receives stock sooner.
I based my evaluation off of the number of comments from people still waiting to receive InArt figures from OSK vs KG after the first couple of batches.
Maybe KG just have significantly fewer customers so can fulfil the majority of their orders in the initial batches?
I know very few around here shop with them.
I just go with whatever gets me the cheapest deal.
Could you ever offer the 3% off with full PO payment?
Keeping an eye on their Facebook page is the best way to track what theyāre shipping. Either theyāll announce it or a collector will post that theyāve received something.
Thatās usually how I end up learning that theyāve forgotten to ship one of my orders.

Of course! It's always headache about how to lockdown the currency rate for preorders, margins for asian stores like us is a lot lower than you can imagine
But, it against my principle for the business
I don't want to pay in full at preorder stage, because everything is possible, who knows when hot toys bankrupt in a sudden and all of our money is gone?
Actually, I did a test on JND Bruce Wayne, it didn't work out, most people thinking the same as me, no one paying in full even with 4% off
Who knows if I died or run away in a sudden?
We all saw what happened with Big Chief Studios. How many people lost hundreds or even thousands? Quite a few.
Which is why I pay myself every month to a savings account. I will never pay in full or in installments to another company again. As it is I have an account stuffed with cash. When an invoice is sent I am ready at that time to pay in full.

I ordered on the 7th of Jan 23, but I have no idea what time it was and I seem to have deleted my confirmation email, so I have no idea what to expect.
Time to prepare for frantic refreshing of my emails every few minutes for the next few days.

You can find you order number under your account on OSK. That'll tell you if you are in this batch.
