3 left now. It will be gone before the night is through. Whether they will put up more is anybody's guess.

Still waiting to pull the trigger somewhere.

Just get it from Toys2 dude, at the very least its a decent investment.

I think it's interesting that Toys2 still has 35 Batpods, despite the much lower price.

Whats up with the high price over at bigbadtoystore? At least at abc express its cheaper for the tumbler. Do you think the price will eventually rise?

 

[icruise]

You might want to read few pages back in the thread, since it's been discussed at some length.

 

[The Mike]

Once the initial run throughs complete I guarantee you that this will raise in price. Most seller always do that with popular HT items.

Does anyone remember the exact day the Tumbler went up for preorder at Toys2?

ABC has sold it's initial offerings and has raised the price another $20.

OK, I panicked, I ordered the vehicals from T2. They offered the best price with combined shipping Grand total $940.57 for Tumbler, Bat Pod, and new Batman figure. I was holding out for Joe, but didn't want to miss this. I've bought from T2 in the past and found them very good, and they don't charge you for the item until it's shipped

I think it was the 24th or 25th. I placed my order on the 25th. Sold out now, BTW.

I went with Toys2. In the end, I trust that if I get it and a wheel falls off as soon as I open it that Eric is in a position to get it taken care of.

For everyone who orders all three from them, take note of the remark on the website:

Remark: For those customer who order this Batman, but also interest to Batman Tumble or Bat-Pod, please make seperate orders for each one becuase their release date are different.

Though if you're willing to wait until Dec/Jan for the new suit Batman it's a fair combined shipping price.

sorry guys we have been crazy shipping out silver surfer bowen statues we got in 253 of them and needed to open inspect, repack and ship them all out.

Like I said before I have a quote from my ocean freight guys...even with ocean freight I am either right below or right over $500 shipped to just about anywhere in the U.S. which I think is too high especially when you guys will not get your items for around 4-6 weeks AFTER they release in HK..I believe toys2 is ocean freighting in like I said before because they show the release as January when Hot Toys is saying November...

my goal is to try and get these shipped from HK direct to you guys in the U.S. and Europe for around $490-$500 each total...this means you would get them about 4-6 days after they release in HK. I had a few emails today from my guys in HK and they just need to check one more thing with the Post Office. I am hoping and praying (after promising last week) that I will be sending out a mass email tomorrow with all of the details...

this is an expensive piece and I have decided that I will not be able to make a bunch of $$ on them but that if I can put them in the hands of the collectors for a fair price those collectors will continue to support us...especially as we grow!!

With that being said if I cannot get the air freight option to work below that price I will make the ocean freight option available and just let everyone understand that the goods will ship sometime after the intial release..something similar to the HK Release of a Hot Toys item and then 4-6 weeks later Sideshow ships the product...

Also I do know that we do not have to turn our final orders in Hot Toys until July 15th. So I would think that if there were places to sell out they may be able to restock their site as orders are not due for two weeks.


Best
Joe

hi joe,

wanted to ask, who you are, because it seems everybody here has been talking about you

are you a dealer who works for one of the US sellers? do you pick the goods up frong HK directly?

enlighten me please

 

[Riko]

thank you sir!!

see my response above!!

pm to you 2

"hi,

I just wanna know if you are the man for me where I can buy these nice items at following conditions:

paying with paypal
pre ordering now
not paying up front
paying when items get shipped
prices at same level as asian ebay sellers...

I would buy from the ebay sellers, but they ask that we pay full at front....
I do not feel comfortable with that, but they have good prices though.

BBTS, you can preorder without paying up front, but they are way to expensive

and toys2 have large shipping to beligium, 500 dollars...

so could I preorder these 2 with you?
I would like to preorder the batpod and tumbler
I can assure that I pay for the batpod in july and the tumbler in august...

I hope I finaly found a seller with good and interesting conditions...

greetings,
Erik"

Reposting as this is important. Great price Joe. Anyone who can snag one of these shipped for 500 or less is getting a very fair deal IMO.

do not quite understand the post of joe, 500 dollars just for shipping? that is the same as what Toy2.net asks...

or does he mean 500 dollars with the price of the item included?

 

[icruise]

He means $500 total.

hey Riko, no offence but "PM" means Private message not Public message.

The Batpod just doesn't "look" like it's worth the dough. The Tumbler is massive and you can see where your money went. My opinion anyway. Still holding out on the pod myself.

Yup...it looks like something that should've sold for around $150 not $220. But I still ordered it. I don't expect it to be discounted to $150. I'm sure orders will pick up once the movie hits.
