Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[MrPickles]

After reading some of the positive comments, I made my first (pre)order with Marcio at Superpowercollectibles.com. Figuring in the free-shipping, coupon code, & CAD-to-US dollar exchange rate conversion, it was the cheapest offering. Hence, he got my business. NAFTA and the free-enterprise system at its' finest, folks.

Coupon code? Please do tell.

Just received this from BBTS:


Hi - We have worked out more favorable pricing on this item and are passing the savings on to you. Your preorder price has been reduced from $179.99 to $159.99. Thanks very much for buying from BBTS!

Wow, great service!

Just got a email from BBTS, they've reduced my preorder price from $179- $159. This is part of the reason why I shop with them, even if they are a buck or two more, they understand customer service.

I was just gonna post this very , very cool of them to drop the price for us all....

 

[pixletwin]

Nice that is pretty cool of BBTS.

Came to post about this price drop too, made my day! (Which is easy since I'm a New York City public junior high school substitute teacher- and I've been covering the kids who weren't allowed on a trip today)

Yup I got the same email.

I've had them do this to me before too. On the flip side I have never had them come back and say they need to up the price.

I'm curious if everyone is going to drop the price $20, or if $159.99 is going to become the new "regular" price.

There were better prices before BBTS' price drop, so if everyone drops the price $20, this could be a game of "How Low Can You Go?". Most retailers offer 10% off, so I'd bet this could be scored around $145 or so, once all the dust settles.

Loyalty be damned... if BBTS is now that much cheaper I'll jump ship

I haven't placed an order yet... seemed like initial prices were all over the place. I figure at this point I'll let things settle and see how it all washes out.

 

[hoodonit00]

They just got my business!

 

[The Josh]

I expect that AE will drop their price. I'll keep my order through them.

MSRP was supposed to be around 155 so I don't see it dropping much lower than this.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, I think that will be the lowest... or next to the lowest we'll see this. I'm guessing there was some initial confusion over the price of this figure given the amount of price differences we've seen and now one place raising the price and another dropping it.

BBTS dropped their price and altered my pre-order! Awesome. They just got my biz for this line.
This figure is all kinds of amazing. Pretty excited to get my first LOTR fig since SSC's Gandalf!

10% off is standard retailer discount, $155 * 10% = $139.50.

I will send you a cookie if no one offers a price lower than $155. There's still room to move on this bad boy, it just depends on which retailer wants to under-cut the other guy.

Cancelled my ToyWiz order in favor of BBTS and the new prices!!!! ToyWiz had this for $155, then $169 and now $175. Just ridiculous

How did that happen? Their Monkey retailer still has it as $155 and $25 shipping?

 

[robbiethepainter]

Alter Ego just sent an email about the price drop. Its now $159.99 and will credit those that have already paid.

Nice move from BBTS.
