Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure
Between shipping, sales tax and certain retailer's discount off MSRP, I could probably save $30 on Leia buying somewhere other than Sideshow (SSC).
Sideshow's sales tax and their high shipping fees (typically $10 for 1/6 Hot Toys), in particular, usually kills it for me. Unless it's an exclusive accessory that I really want, I usually shop elsewhere. Plus SSC, does not double box which increases the chances for damage. My Marty McFly shipment arrived crumpled - then you have to go through the hassle of requesting a replacement.
Like you mentioned, the backdrop diorama is bound to be pretty lackluster so I'm heavily considering cancelling the preorder at SSC. But I would like to see an actual visual of the final prototype before deciding. Luckily Leia did not require a deposit.
