Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

Riko let us know what BBTS says in response.

 

[Riko]

mailed him this, to make things attractive for everybody

Hi,



just wanted to add this,

I know and feel that many people are a little hesitated by the asian ebay sellers, just because you MUST pay full at front if you pré-order...that is not a safe feeling.



But if people can also pre order with you and do not not have pay full at front AND you offer the same prices...than I can predict many orders coming your way: first come first serve right?



and personally, I know shipping would cost double with you (for me) in compare with asian ebay sellers, but even I would make a pre order on bbts and pay double the shipping cost, than put a pre order on ebay from asian sellers....just because you do not ask a payment at front and the asian ebay sellers do....



I copied this and the previous email on that popular board, so that everybody can follow your move...like I already said, if you could lower the prices to about 360-370 dollars I predict many orderes coming your way. I scratch your back, you scratch mine


now we have to wait and be patient...

why don't you just order from Toys2?

 

[Riko]

why don't you just order from Toys2?

shipping is minimum 200, and no paypal payment method...so why wouldn't I order from BBTS

Slightly off topic but here are 3 movie reviews of TDK and they are very very positive! All three say that this one surpasses Begins! Some spoilers in the reviews but nothing that you won't know if you've been following the interviews and trailers. 7/17 can't come soon enough!!! I don't think I've ever been this excited about a movie.

Toys2 takes paypal but yeah, that shipping cost is high.

 

[Riko]

Yes they are based in America. Wisconsin I believe. Your best bet is to buy all three items together and save tons on shipping....downside is you'll need all that money upfront if you go through ebay. Can't you borrow some money from your parents or something? It'll be so much more money if you buy these things separately.

I see that the bat-pod is SAME shipping to my country as th ebay sellers
so for shipping the pod, that is no problem.

if bbts would accept paypal for a pre order, that would be nice

only thing left: put the price of that batpod the same level as the ebay sellers: 215 and NO full payment up front.

if all that is forfilled, I will pre order on BBTS the batpod.

I do not have the money to pay bat-pod + tumbler at once, so I have no choise than to buy seperate, and if they would really lower the price, wich I have a feeling they will, orders will go fast on bbts, so I will not wait untill I do have the money to pay all at once, because than it could be too late...

so if I have a positive mail on those points and I see it on the site, I will pré order the batpod first thing

 

[creature4000]

they take CC's as well.

 

[darren1228]

Yeah....are you old enough to apply for a credit card? That would make things much easier. Paypal also takes credit cards so you could still buy from HK and not pay for everything all at once.

 

[Riko]

I am from belgium, and I have own a national credit card, but with something like that you cannot pay international.....
and I do not wish to have a second card also...
Besides, I have a friend who does my paypal paying for me so paypal is really the only option I have to pay international...

that saying, IF bbts lowers its prices, I do not see why I should buy from hong kong, I got all the advantages.
1) cheap prices (again: IF bbts lowers it)
2) pay pal payment
3) pre order but no paying full up front like on ebay pre orders
4) (for the bat-pod) shipping costs are the same: around 70-80 dollar

So BBTS hasnt gotten back to you yet?

 

[pjam]

i broke down and couldn't wait for Joe and ordered from toys2.net.

Yeah, me too Reiny. Ordered from Toys2.

 

[icruise]

I find it hard to believe that BBTS wouldn't know about other cheaper sources for the tumbler, but I guess we'll see.

Anyway, only 16 left at Toys2...

 

[RichAlot]

Yeah, me too Reiny. Ordered from Toys2.

What are you guys paying bottom line shipped from Toy2?

 

[icruise]

It depends on your location, but my total with shipping to Illinois was $473.32

 

[Reinhardt]

Yeah, me too Reiny. Ordered from Toys2.

I feel bad because Joe has been really loyal. I still do have quite a lot on pre-order from him though. 1 original batman suit 2 jokers, 1 dark knight suit, 1 batpod.

It depends on your location, but my total with shipping to Illinois was $473.32

same with me (to indiana).

What are you guys paying bottom line shipped from Toy2?

see above.

 

[pjam]

That's an excellent price IMO icruise. I'm paying a bit more b/c I'm out on the coast. I hope UPS screws up my delivery and I get a Shipping credit.

This is at least a $450 item excluding shipping IMO.

 

[Riko]

So BBTS hasnt gotten back to you yet?

I send also a mail about the pods on ebay, the general prices that swings around 215-220, and also on that they replied:

"Hi,

If you can send me a link to where you viewed those prices, I would be happy to forward it to the president of the company for review.

Thanks!

than I replied back with again the links of the 5 same ebay sellers as I have send for the tumbler

Joe has been amazing. If it weren't for his HK Guys taking so long to get back to him I would have held out longer. He's done so much for the Freaks. But only 16 left, I had no choice in the matter. I did order via Money Order @ T2 though.

 

[Riko]

(bad) reply BBTS!

Hi,

We are having to pay very high shipping fees to get these in from Asia and the discounts for MSRP are very low. I apologize for the price but it won't be adjusted again most likely. It was lowered $90 over the weekend.

Thanks!

even afther I have shared them the links of toys2.net
pitty toys2 has such high shipping costs

seems like there is always at least 1 thing bad:
Toys2 has to high shipping costs
BBTS has to high prices for the items itself
Ebay sellers has good prices + shipping, but you got that pre order where you have to pay full up front

who is perfect?
