Who made the custom dome ?

Just out of curiosity how are you guys justifying blindly committing to $410 when dome deterioration was such a possibility on the first release? Are you all just assuming that HT is using a new rubber that won't do that? I'd love to have ED on my shelf but am really apprehensive about rolling the dice for that amount of money.

...I'll just make a silicone mold from the dome and cast new ones in solid black resin- and sell them to interested parties, probably for about $20...

Wow, very cool!

Yep, Anthapoid mentioned his plan earlier, and it gave me the courage to forge ahead and pre-order ED. Assuming you haven't already pulled the trigger, Khev, both RoboCop (without chair) and ED-209 are still available with a modest discount and no NRD at Urban Samurai. Shipping is a flat rate of $7.95 anywhere in the States.

...because PLASTIC IS CHEAPER THAN RUBBER. Hot Toys, please read that again: PLASTIC IS CHEAPER THAN RUBBER. CHEAPER. CHEAPER. PLASTIC = MORE PROFITS FOR YOU. PLASTIC. CHEAPER. PROFITS. MORE.

$7.95 anywhere in the US? For such a big *** box, I cant see how the shipping is so cheap.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, flatrate anywhere in the States (it's actually about half of what we Canadians pay ). But here's the quote:

All packages shipped within the US are done using USPS Priority. All items will be shipped in a box and we will not ship anything out in an envelope. This is for your own protection as much as our own. Shipping in the US is a flat rate of $7.95. This includes Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

And in my case, they invoiced me for both items and shipping was the flat rate of $13.95 they quote for Canadian buyers. Maybe someone who'd bought from the States can confirm what they were charged.

Yea I PO'd from them and my total was $387.90. That's a helluva deal. Hopefully it stays.

I probably will PO this sometime this month, I will shoot myself if I miss out on it. I have some rewards points (like 20$) that I can use toward the down payment.

 

[Invictus Sol]

If you only have ~$20.00 in reward points, I'd try and skip using them, Snake. You'll get 5% back on the $410.00 purchase in points, so you'll be losing as much as you're saving.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Fair point, I've only bought one thing ever from SS which is why I have such a tiny amount. And besides, they won't start charging me for ED until September.

EDIT: I ordered ED. Broke it up into 5 payments, I'm sure it will be worth it. I got Robo on order too.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Sweet. Always makes me happy when someone breaks down and pre-orders something they want, for some reason. I'm not even the biggest RoboCop fan, but these two releases are must-haves for anyone that enjoyed the original, IMO. Especially ED-209, just a beautiful figure and representation of sci-fi/robots.

 

[Nemesis243]

If anyone happens to want to cancel their pre-order on BBTS let me know cause I wasn't able to get one in before they sold out.

I was also surprised the preorders sold out within hours at BBTS.

 

[Anthrapoid]

Free domestic shipping in the USA from Sideshow, for ED-209... surprising.
I'm in California though, so I'll get taxed about $35.

 

[Nemesis243]

Wow that was quick! Luckily I preorder two of them.

Sideshow hasn't sold out. BBTS has though. I prefer ordering from them as they don't charge the non-refundable fee Sideshow charges. So hoping someone might end up dropping their pre-order from BBTS. Besides BBTS seems to be only allowing people to order one per person from their site.

I messaged BBTS after they sold out, they told me since there will be limited quantities that they will not be accepting any new orders. So that's why I went with Sideshow.

Where does it say that SS is offering free shipping on this? Not seeing it on the order page or in checkout.

 

[Nemesis243]

Hmm I may have to just bite the bullet and order it on Sideshow if BBTS isn't going to have any more or no one plans to cancel their order.

Answer: It doesn't, any longer. When I saw it, I had clicked the Hot Toys tab at the top of the SS homepage, then selected 'sixth scale figures'. That displays a long vertical list of HT 1/6 items. It originally said "Free Domestic Shipping!" in bright green text over at the far right from ED-209, but now it's been removed.
The Robo w/chair still has it though.

Not now, it doesn't.

 

[Anthrapoid]

Just looked at it again- Robo w/chair is on page 2 of the list, and it still says "free domestic shipping". Too bad about ED-209 though... that would have been a savings of about $20, like the shipping cost of Iron Monger.
