I just got a first quote for ocean freight for these bad boys and it looks like I should be able to offer these for a lot less than I originally thought....honestly I was hoping to offer these for around $400ish..then I saw the size I was like oh crap this is gonna be a $600 piece if I air freight it..but it looks like I may actually be able to get these closer to the $400 price point as well..I am working hard on it...but I will be sending out an email tonight to everyone that preordered Jokers/Batmans from me with pricing on the Batpod and Batman Dark Knight Armor Figure.

:rock :rock :rock :rock

Thanks Joe. Freight is definitely the way to go.

I hope you can beat 390 plus US UPS shipping. :D

Waiting to hear from Joe though. I don't see this selling out too quickly.

not sure if I can beat the $390..but I probably wont do a cancellation fee and my shipping may be a little lower...but I would want you guys to get it for the best price you can as collecting can be expensive...also I guess they must be ocean freighting their order in because the official release from Hot Toys is November 08 but they are listing a January 09 Release...
 
Toys2's site is quoting me about $120 for shipping using UPS (I'm in Northern Cali). I know it's huge, but this seems a bit on the high side...

That's funny, Eric quoted me about 50 to L.A. You may want to call in and check on that. Seems high for UPS Ground.

And thanks Joe, your efforts are much appreciated here. You have done a lot for our Freaks!!! :D

But your lack of a cancelation fee might just be enough for me to order from you anyway. This is a lot and I desperately want it, but only time will tell if I will be able to afford it at the time of shipping. I'd hate to cancel on you last minute, but I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem reselling it once people start getting these.

its a 68lb box dimensionally..I know shipping from Florida to Cali is around $40ish before you add insurance and signature..thats with a 26% ground discount from Fed Ex...I would imagine to ship one of these suckers from Canada to the US would be around $75-$100...as for me to ship one fed ex ground to canada is about $85 with my ground discount from Fed Ex. I would also be careful about duties but then again I have always SHIPPED to canada and only have had in bound stuff come from Attakus and there were no duties
 
Just saw BBTS's price on the tumbler and about had a heart attack! WTF is up with that?

Ignore it. :lol

Toys2 is 389.89 but shipping is quoted at $120 for me too from Canada. That puts a slight damper on it for me because I'm out in L.A.

I'm hoping Joe comes through now. Go Joe!
 
It's just weird because while BBTS is usually a little higher than other online retailers, I can't remember ever seeing them be so way out of line with other sources before.
 
Subtotal:
$389.99
Shipping:
$105.50


TOTAL:
$495.49

I still don't get it. The Asian ebay sellers are offering it for about $470 (shipped for 120 from Asia.) Why is it the same shipping cost from Canada? Double shipping? Who knows. I'm gonna call Eric and get some clarification on this.

UPDATE:

Okay, I just got a direct quote from Eric.

Shipping for me UPS Ground to L.A. is $55.


He said there is something wrong with his shipping calculator and he needs to get to the site and make the necessary adjustments.

Anyway, I feel much better about this now. My cost shipped is $445. So I imagine the closer you are to Detroit the lower your shipping quote will be.

I ended up ordering from Toy2. The site even says the shipping calculator might not be correct. Anyway, now the long wait begins.
