1/6 Threezero - Breaking Bad - Heisenberg Collectible Figure

[Pixelpiper]

So there's no exclusive? That means the only benefit to POing in a couple of days off of ThreeZero's Web site is getting the figure earlier than other avenues?

And maximizing Threezero's profit, which is why I went direct.

ThreeZero thanks you for your cooperation. Good night!

If you go with ThreeZero, a little bag of Blue Sky will be included with your order. No word on whether or not it's authentic. Only one way to find out!

I po this from bbts. This will be my first Walt figure. I'll rather pay 145 shipped than 500 plus for a custom

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Ordered from bbts. If the production figure looks like the proto threezero is price shaming the hell out of the other heavy hitters. Just give me Rick Grimes please. If they can keep the prices where they are I am in for most/all of Breaking Bad and Walking Dead.

I'll probably PO this from TZ. Let's see how the process goes.

Why would you po from tz over bbts?

You'll get the figure first (BBTS has still yet to get Tyrion despite those of us that ordered from TZ have had him for months now), you pay up front now and not have to worry about budgeting him in later, and he'll likely be cheaper than if you ordered from BBTS because of the shipping costs that are likely $15+ anyway. Plus there is always the chance TZ will throw in some unadvertised exclusive for their direct orders.

Has that happened before with 3Zero?

Just be warned the "wait" for BBTS orders will be months.

I Love BBTS, but the delay is a tremendous gulf.

Also as pixelpiper said, you're maximizing threezero's profits and showing your support that way will definitely be a good thing for the company and their future plans for the license.

So quick question. If I do order directly thru threezero and use paypal to pay. The figure is not expected to ship until Qrt 3 so if I use paypal now to pay up front and lets say the figure gets delayed and I want to cancel will paypal give me my money back since it will be pass the deadline. Thanks

The wait is long now for Tyrion because of the dock strike. In 6 months time hopefully the backlog will be cleared and the US will get figures about a month after HK as had been the norm previously.

You might be able to cancel with 3zero. Check the site for any fine print and/or send them an email.

But I personally treat it as a final sale - if I ever need that money back I sell the figure.

Does threezero usually stay on schedule when they estimate release dates? I would order direct from them, but I don't really want to pay upfront for a figure that I won't get until 2016.

I'd say delays should probably be expected to some degree, tempered by the fact no specific date has actually been announced. When I see quarter-based ranges, I tend to expect the item at the very end of the period. There's nothing wrong with ordering from BBTS or other retailer, just expect their stock to arrive 1 to 2 months after shipments start direct.

Not entirely true. Retailers that ordered their stock from threezero received it shortly after threezero shipped their own orders out.

Retailers that didn't order direct from threezero are ordering through Diamond. . . which is why it's delayed.

 

[Pixelpiper]

That's kind of like navigating a field with hidden land mines, isn't it?

Well, take a mine detector with you. Send the retailer an email and ask who they're ordering from.

Tyrion's exclusive wasn't listed on the site. We knew of it of, but it still wasn't listed. Its doubtful it would happen here, but I'd rather order directly through them just in case they do.
