Hot Toys – MMS272D08 – Iron Man 3: 1/6th scale Hot Rod (Mark XXII)

Next month, this thing will only cost me $100...pretty sweet. I'm happy it's only costing me $130 because at $315 plus shipping, that would be a hard pill to swallow.

Quick wait list on this one.

Finally was able to update my card information. Also went on the waitlist. Really would like to see this converting for all of us.

Because it's basically just a repaint?

Because it's basically just a repaint?

yeah

 

[kevb0977]

yeah

I still like it, maybe it's because it's diecast or maybe it's the flames..., not really sure but it speaks to me (it said buy me).

I would have bought it if it was out a bit later, but it kinda jumps up on ya with the JAN release....

To be honest I could've done with it coming out later too, I broke my rule regarding my collecting hobby & have to use a credit card to purchase it, my rule is never to buy unnecessary things (like collectibles) on credit..., this is a one off though & I can pay it off quick enough, that's probably why I did it BUT I'm now going to cancel the credit card once I've paid for this & save myself the temptation of debt in order to get things I can't otherwise obtain. :/

Good rule to have. I'm upgrading my computer at the start of January so I didnt want to push that back just to get this guy when I also have Falcon(maybe), Starlord, Winter Soldier and Cap 2pk that month and my first flex payments for Rocket&Groot, Arkham Batman, Raiden, and Gamora

If you can control yourself its a good idea to have credit card(s) even if you don't use it, your combined credit limit is a big part of what makes up your credit score. Even just shred the card if you have to but don't close the account.

That's a lot of preorders..., some very nice things coming your way soon then. I sometimes forget all the things I've got on preorder, unhelpful when trying to balance the books. lol Apart from a fair number of Iron Man figures I've got quite a bit of Star Wars items still to come..., I keep saying that's enough but then I see something else I like & work out the payment plans to see if I can add it to my list of payments or if I have to wait a while.

Sound advice, thanks.

My friend who ordered pretty soon after the waitlist started just got a conversion.

I totally understand people having this sort of rule but to me, as long as you are responsible, it's a little silly.....credit cards give rewards points. It's basically free money. Even 1% back on a $250 figure is $2.50. It doesn't sound like much but it adds up.

Yeah... Canceling a credit account dings your credit. Will impact you when you go to buy a car or a house unless you are paying in all cash.

my preferred way to pay for a house.......

 

[SurlyJ]

Hell yeah. I keep three of those buried on different islands.

 

[bonestockbrz]

I've stated this many times. I do not use credit cards on any toy purchases . It's the best approach in this hobby
