300 (plus 5 percent fee) for the full figure? Are they asking for postage now as well? Ordering through Instagram is a little sketchy feeling, not to mention the fact that they apparently blasted someone's personal info out. I really wish they were going through a retailer.
I told them I'd pay postage later, when it's ready to ship.
Ordering through instagram is pretty standard when dealing with these studios.
I'd prefer to order through a retailer, but this keeps it cheaper, and hidden from Alcon's radar.
It's also possible their production capabilities are limited, and they want to keep numbers low to maintain a certain standard of quality. That might explain why the preorder window is so short.
