For people who live in California do you usually buy directly from Sideshow or a dealer out of state to avoid paying tax? There are some people in California who usually buy directly from a dealer out of state to save money when it's a regular item; however, if it’s an exclusive item then they buy from Sideshow directly.
 
I buy from both. However if the collectible is not a Sideshow exclusive, I'll go with a dealer that has it for less. And if the dealer doesn't charge taxes, then even better.

I buy from Sideshow when it comes to exclusives.

For those that I don't care for the exclusives, I buy from e-tailers to save on money on tax and get a little discount.
 
I usually buy from Sideshow if I go Exclusive. If the Exclusive doesn't matter to me then I go Non CA Dealer usually to save a few bucks.
 
I mostly buy directly from Sideshow. I live so close that I frequently get the figure before my bank account shows the charge for the figure.
