Hot Toys - Iron Man 2 - 1/6th scale Black Widow Collectible Figure (Artisan Edition)

[Earth 616 Collector]

I mean the Hong Kong price IS $317, we know this from their flyer. Sideshow doesn't mark them up by 40%+ so it shouldn't be $450.

They are usually 25-30% mark up from HK. We are probably looking at $405-$420.

Has anyone ever done a straight comparison of how much people who import these figures from resellers end up paying in shipping and custom fees?

 

[Akiratang]

Better than paying a custom sculpt with paint and rooting, easily $700+. So this as a whole package, I think it's a good deal being licensed.

 

[Starfleet Captain]

How does the sideshow virtual queue work? Can someone kind enough to explain?

 

[MrConor212]

It’s basically a waiting room before the listing goes live and everyone gets a random place in the queue. Sometimes it’s favourable and others it ain’t. (Little trick is to have as many browsers/devices open as possible)

 

[SmoothEmjay]

I mean there are plenty of sellers in U.K. who can get it if you wanted like Toys on Fire for example, you have Plastic Hero Collectibles and William Wang among likely others

Great. Except I've never heard of 'Toys on Fire' until now (and their pricing is >> than others I use frequently) and I don't have/use Facebook.

But thanks all the same (not sarcasm).

I can't freaking believe this (along with everything else) is going up for PO on Monday,
the day I'll be traveling home in the airport. I have a bad feeling I'll be buying Widow
from a Hong Kong seller. *sigh*

This looks fantastic. I never got the original, so will try to get this one.

Thanks! I’m not overly familiar with how it works. I did the RSVP but didn’t see any dates.

You need to rsvp for each figure prior to be able to purchase if you get through.

No problem! I think they updated the rsvp page last night with the drop dates.

The hands on this figure look like ****. Overly glossy plasticy looking crap as usual.

Hot Toys needs to step up their hands game.

So after RSVP, they will send you a link to purchase once you are up? Or you get into the waiting pool to purchase, like others have mentioned? What exactly is “if you get through”?

Pull up the rsvp page ahead of time. About 15 minutes before the time, they will open a page saying you are waiting to go into the queue. When it hits that time they will randomly give you a number. It will start dwindling down as they let people in. Ignore the estimated time as that will drastically decrease.

Don't be discouraged by a higher number, as many people have multiple browsers open and some just want to see if they could get in but will not purchase. Wait it out if you can, and keep your browser(s) open. Try to refrain from refreshing the page and just let it run its course.

Yes, ignore the numbers and just be patient. The numbers ahead of you are garbage.

Thank you again. Is there a time it goes live do you know? Or just ‘Monday’.
