Didn't know Willis was out! BBTS must not have received their shipment yet.
--edit: and they do! I somehow had two in my Pile, and not sure I'll cancel either!--

Word to the caution, careful handling Willis where the head connects to the hood. Several people I've heard were having the parts separate on them. Mine came this way in the box.

Lotus, I always ask my guy to open and inspect each of my orders while in Singapore to check for any defects before it hits the boat to come over to the US. You may want to ask your guy to do the same, doesn't hurt to ask. I'm not nearly as worried about it with this extra layer of QC, plus its XM and I know it'll get here without breakages due to their superb packaging so as long as QC is a go before it leaves, I'm at ease. But I understand if you want a sealed box delivered for that fresh unboxing, but god forbid if something is wrong.
Also, I'm having him stockpike a couple of my orders and ship them overseas together via sea freight to save on shipping. Every little bit helps with these massive statues. You may want to check with your guy to see if he has these options at his disposal.
Because of past (and recent) issues I've had mainly with SS, all my statues get opened right away for inspection.

Thanks !!!
I was using two different sellers, The one large dealer Kenny told me he is out of the game last week, so down to one. I have not had an issue so far knock on wood. I can see it going wrong either way. These sellers aren't making too much off the Statues, time is money in my eyes.
Opening the box and un wrapping every little piece can be time consuming for the seller. Then the seller needs to put the pieces back in the Styrofoam carefully. Since the seller is not doing this as their daily job like a factory working would, they may place a piece back in the wrong way and it crack on the way to your home. Four Statues deep so far , and no QC issues for me. I just think overall with XM doing max 999ES they have more time to focus on QC than Giants like Sideshow.
As for shipping multiples, I had no idea this could be done using Sea Freight. Thanks for letting me know as I may do that instead of paying 300-400.00 for Express shipping.

Thanks!
And the chosen prime gives you points, much like SSC does with every purchase! One thing to keep in mind. That's where I get all my TF's now.

hard to really tell... but judging from this pic... i'm guessing he will be shorter than ironhide based off the size of the lambos...

Isn't shipping likely to put it up there (or at least extremely close) to what US stores are charging? Japan (ems) shipping has gone way up as of late, savings are close to minimal.
I ordered a Macross (Arcadia) 1/60 robot and shipping was close to $40. It was the only place that had it so I had to do it, but it seemed insanely high. It was amiami.
