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

and the beauty of it was they blamed high gas prices for the shipping costs....

so what's the excuse now when its almost 1/2 of what it was last year???? f'n crooks!

At the end of the day though it's taking my package 5 days to go 3,000 miles for only $18 so it's not too bad haha.

Mines $40.00 so stop moaning. lol

Shipping weight is now based on the box dimensions for all boxes. Those 3-4lb boxes are now being charged by FedEx and UPS as though they were 11 or so.

See I'd say its a weight issue, but two weeks ago I got the shipping quote for my Maleficent which I ordered the day she went up, shipping quote came in at $18 to Washington from California. I cancelled her, reordered her with a code and got the $10 flat rate shipping that they added to her later. I think they put the flat rate price on stuff that isn't moving as quickly where with this exclusive they knew they could get away with a higher shipping rate because nobody is going to cancel it at billing date.

Sure. They are still going to offer deals when they need. But if people are wondering why it went from $13 to $17 or something on these figures, it's because of the new dimensional weight pricing from UPS and FedEx.

Shipping should be going down because these shipping companies will no longer need a fuel surcharge

If we say it almost doubled does that justify the whining? Haha

Well, that blows. I was wondering why UPS was charging me an arm and a leg to ship out a small figure last week.

To be honest I'm not happy either, it used to cost me $25.00 for shipping & then Sideshow would give me a voucher code to spend on my next order, now it's $40.00 shipping & no voucher code. :/ So it's justified to be unhappy really. lol

Wow I wish my local sideshow retailer got cool stuff in like exclusives... Hell it'd be nice if they actually got 1/6 scale stuff in at all... All they get are PFs.

My store doesn't carry any statues/hot toys and they're a fairly large comic shop with several stores. I stopped by a Midtown Comics when I was in NYC a few months ago and they must have had 150+ statues, some at really great prices. I couldn't believe it.

oh jeez it would be great to have any comic book store/ collectibles retailer within 100 miles of me....
