I'd add the caveat that it depends on where you live. I'm in California, so the high shipping cost + sales tax makes BBTS the winner for me. Even if BBTS starts charging sales tax in the future, their pile of loot feature combined with lower shipping costs still puts it ahead of SS (even with rewards points). For me, that is.
That’s true. Though technically you are just supposed to add the sales tax to your year end tax returns. And it looks like every state will start requiring sales tax added to all orders up front soon.
You must be ordering A LOT and multiples of the same figure/ or the really expensive statues to get 4 free figures in a year. If I count my total from last year to the pending preorders to next year, the reward points I'll get is only enough for one figure. I already feel I'm ordering too much even with that (>10 HT figures). Maybe for the volume you order, it makes sense to use SS. But for those that can only order 1 or 2 HT figures per movie line, the benefits can't compare to yours. So what options would be out there? If only you can order directly from HT as I read it's cheaper buying directly from them...
Yeah I order every hot toys figure.(occasionally a double) So the last few years that’s 70 a year. Plus statues. And prop replicas occasionally. It’s way to much junk for sure.
Though this year I’ve decided to no longer order as much and not order all the figures anymore. Might save me 10 or so figures a year if they keep the same pace as the last few years.
