Do they caught b customs?
In my experience with the DX10 and 12, yes they get stock pretty early.

When did they ship your DX10 mate?
Toys2 shipments don't get stopped by customs in my experience. However, UK people, if you haven't ordered from there before the shipping may shock you.....I see it as a tradeoff for not having to pay customs.

How much is the shipping then?
$120 for me. 94euro according to XE.
On Wednesday, but Canada Post has become so unreliable, I have to wait until Monday.

The amount of rationalization in this thread astonishes me. So, Hot Toys is able to release a 300 Luke Skywalker 2-pack, but they have to make THREE separate T-800s that'll cost fans a total of about 800 dollars if they want all the accessories and head sculpts? Not to mention that the DX-10 is subpar product in just about every way. Additionally, the head sculpt, while good-looking, is very inaccurate by Hot Toys standards (and the sculpts are getting worse all the time), but people are just shrugging it off, while all criticism is quickly silenced? And then you have Enterbay, who produce the most accurate sculpts in the market at the moment by far, and most in this thread are completely disregarding it because it's too big. I don't know, I just wish Hot Toys didn't take advantage of it's customers. But even more, I wish their customers weren't so easy to take advantage of.
We are disregarding EB mainly because this is a thread for the HT T2-T800 and not one for the 1/4 EB figure. I believe there is a seperate thread for that one where people are probably disregarding HT just as much as people disregard EB in this one.

Piss off you arrogant prick.
The DX13 is not out till June next year so that gives me time to save up for it. This and the Back To The Future figures (if released in 13) are all im getting next year, Promise.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence, just saying that you're willing to overlook a lot of problems that I think should really be acknowledged.
Yeah 800 dollars over the course of 4 years or so. If it were all in one year perhaps it'd be a bit much. We've always known they were gonna do it this way with multiple figures. The MMS117 thread was full of such speculation in the early days. Why not complain that DX luke doesn't also have his snowspeeder costume and his hoth costume from that same film? They can't put everything from the film into just one figure, two maybe if they compromise on stuff. I'm glad they've done it this way.

Okay, discounting the MM, it's $535 over the course of one. That's the worst part, easily. Although I do think this DX has a much, much better value than the last figure, I am dissapointed that Hot Toys thinks this is okay. Especially when considering how expensive these guys have gotten lately, and how Enterbay's figures, which are made with much, much more plastic, are only about 100-200 dollars more.
How are the sculpts getting worse? These two headsculpts are some of the best ive seen from HT.
Curious what you guys think, from a business point of view, was it smart for them to announce this DX13, right as the DX10 is being shipped out? I can see a lot of peeps canceling or not buying the DX10 in place of this. I was a few days from ordering the DX10. When I saw this, i decided to wait.
Either way HT wins though. Regardless, people are still buying figures from Hot Toys.
