Current discount codes at SSC

I got an email for $2.

The only spin I managed to get something from was the drawing thingy they do. But that was only for a $1. And I only got the 1 email.

So they gave me double!! ....

 

[BurningRage]

Got two $3 emails.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Got $2... was only owed $1... so that's nice. Thank you, Sideshow.

Received an additional $25 in total ($1 + $2 + $1 + $1 + $2 + $3 + $15). All expiring Feb 1st.

So that's a potential grand total of $151.50 for the event if my calculations are correct. Did anyone manage to get the full amount?

I think the rest of us are assuming that if anyone did, it was YOU!

I didn't keep a running total, but based on what I managed to collect and what I know I missed, the total is $123.50 for all the codes, not counting registration or lotteries. I believe there was a total of $9 from the various lotteries (don't think I missed any), so potentially $137.50 if you add up everything. Plus an unknown amount from BBB for his question during the after party stream.

Probably the last time I'll participate. It's not enjoyable and I'm too old to last so many days on minimal sleep. I slogged it out to boost my remaining points for a figure I want to pre-order, but with all these short term rewards, it's not worth the effort anymore.

PS. I just remembered, I received a single use $2 code via email from the fortune teller. So the total of the regular codes should be $121.50, rather than $123.50.

LOL. I did pretty well but missed a few. Not worth the lack of sleep but I figured if this was my last time, might as well give it a good try. Would have been great if someone here got them all.

The short term expiry on these ruins it. For overseas folks like me, need $60+ just to cover tax and shipping. Even then, it's a minimal saving vs buying from a local seller and not worth the trouble.

Yup.

That applies for U.S. customers as well. I'm in Michigan and (depending on the price of the figure) I find that I have to burn anywhere from $45 to $60 in reward points with Sideshow just to get their cost competitive with other out-of-state sellers who don't charge sales tax and whose shipping is half what Sideshow charges me. If the stars align I can combine reward points with a $20 Thank You promo code, but those are rarely available when something I actually want goes up for order.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, for instance if I were to get the new Chewbacca from Sideshow, it would cost an additional $40 with tax and then another $20 shipping (20 miles)... so I have to come up with $60 before I'm even at retail price. There's just no way to get the cost down by much.

Since I mentioned it before, if any of you plan on purchasing a heavier piece from SSC, make sure to double-check your shipping charges to see if it's accurate. Even check with UPS or FedEx directly to find out (weight and box dimensions are listed on SSC's product pages). I've noticed that a piece I bought recently has been marked-up on shipping, including a marked-up quote from SSC's own shipping calculator! This happened after they discounted it with a Black Friday code.

I don't want to accuse them of deliberately increasing their shipping costs, in order to negate any additional discounts that they're offering. But, something's really off with them...
