I paid 2000 HKD (about 250USD) incl. shipping for Leon on KGHobby last year. Quite the price increase from that to these. I noticed that Leon's price was raised after release, so these two might get even more expensive later.
 
Between KGHOBBY and OneSixthKit, which offers a better shipping price? I know Kit includes shipping prices upon ordering but KGHOBBY calculates and includes it after the item has arrived...

Throw both of them in your cart, then checkout as far the paypal page.
KGH was actually the cheapest option for me this time (even without the coupon code I used). Though KGH usually takes about week longer to ship than OSK or Giantoy.
 
KGH is shady as ****. You pay shipping up front but if they think the package is too big, they will ask for extra money on release.

If they send you the wrong item? Well you're *****ed then, good luck not their problem.

Ah, so basically what Sideshow does to every Canadian that orders from them. lol
I've ordered a lot of stuff from KGH the past year and it's been all good so far. However, TNS Figures recently tried pulling that same move on me.
I know shipping sucks right now, but still, thats a pretty low move. Especially seeing how dang much they charge for shipping already.

That's not necessarily shady, stores don't know how big and heavy boxes are until they get them from manufacturers, so shipping estimates may need to be revised. These stores aren't megacorps like Amazon that can just eat the extra fees. I don't remember seeing any shipping cost upfront with KGHobby. I only pay deposits, I assume it's different when you pay the whole amount right away?

In some cases you end up paying more with stores that include shipping in the price because the box ends up smaller than anticipated. While it's great to know the full price right away, you don't always save money that way. I mix and match my orders, some from shops with shipping included, some without. Sometimes I save money, sometimes I pay more.

I hated dealing with KGHobby every since they went to **** during the holidays. Terrible customer service and shipping prices that were insane. Haven't used them since.

I rather PO with GianToys or OSK where the shipping is set in stone when you PO the figure on the spot. Not have it rely on whatever KGHobby is feeling around the time the figure releases a year or two in the future.

Kind of prefer the other version of Leon to be honest. I know this is the more classic look but the other outfit looks better to me.
 
RRX mentioned that MTTOYS was working on a Claire as well. My guess is it'll be the Remake version. So with a little bit of kit bashing, we'll still be able to have both versions.
I doubt the MT sculpt will look as good as DT's, but if looks better than UB Claire then I'll still be getting it.
Mttoys has relatively great sculpts so hoping it turns out great!

I feel ya, the more time I spent looking at it the less I liked it, to the point where Claire's knees honestly don't bother me as much as Leon's outfit. The fit of it seems weird, I dunno, it looked like that in the game too.

Ended up ordering Claire, she can stand next to Asmus Dante and SuperDuck Sakura and form a little Capcom display.

because the remake did a great job of grounding Leon's outfit in realism while keeping what made it iconic. Capcom didn't succeed with Claire at all in my opinion and the classic outfit is much closer.

Fine.

But explain how they send me the wrong item and are pretty much ignoring me? It's been 2 weeks of no response for a $300 purchase. Like ZERO response. This is not acceptable and will probably do chargebacks on all my remaining orders.

This is the second time they've done this. First time was only $60 item so I got over it but getting ****ed twice and this time for $300 is another level of frustration.
 
Ugh the allure of the classic look of Leon and Claire....damn....

No...no...must...resist!!!

I only quoted the part about shipping... It was not a defense of KGHobby, I was just explaining how shipping costs work in general. You can bet any shop that includes shipping in the price a year or so in advance, probably has a nice margin on top of the item price, to compensate for potential increases in shipping costs or high costs for potentially large boxes. Some shops say "free shipping" but the figure is 60$ more expensive and costs only 40$ to ship with another store. Again, I'm talking in general.
 
Does anyone know if you can exchange deposits (if that makes sense) on Sideshow?

If they announce Claire in the Remake outfit I'd want to swap my pre-order to that, is that possible?
