I wouldn't pay more than £100 ($150) for him. He's one of the most boring 'action' figures. What accessories does he have?
How do you claim the VAT and customs fee back?
It's fairly straightforward. You just need to get your item classed under certain commodity codes. I have normally been charged full 20% VAT when importing, but that's them classifying these figures as toys. Which they are not.
If like me, you buy from sideshow.the item will be posted by FedEx and you would need to complete HMRC form C285(PI). If you buy from other retailers and they end up using parcel force, then it's a different form to complete. But mostly it would be a C285(PI) you would complete. See

And this works for you every time?
What code do you classify them as on the form?

I've only started doing it for my back collection, I only started collecting about 1 year ago. It's worked every time so far, recently just sent 5 forms in and They paid me my vat back straight into my bank account in one go. Nice wee amount over £100 back last month.
I didn't classify the item as any commodity code myself, I called the commodity code classification line and they ask you to describe the item and they tell you the commodity code. Then i just filled in the form accordingly, stating what the commodity code classification line told me.
Give it a go, it's worthwhile.
I'm considering canceling my preorder and going with a DX12... but only if I find one reasonably priced. I'll go with the Batman + Armory for the prices that some folks on eBay and on the board are asking but if the DX12 prices go down... I just don't have the space for a diorama.
So if anyone is looking to move a DX12 for a reasonable price to fund this... let me know

She is SEXY and not boring!Selina Kyle came with next to no accessories but she still sold pretty well at $200.
Yes, I agree. UK collectors should all buy from Wai Man at OneSixthBruce. His price is only £375 compared to Mother's Basement who is asking £550. I have never bought from Wai Man before, but my correspondence with him gives me the impression he is a decent fella. Anyone any experience with OSB?OneSixthBruce in the UK just revealed the price for the full set (MMS236) and it's actually cheaper than Sideshow's price.
£374.99, which at today's rate is $621.12.
That's an amazing price for three figures and the armoury. (And no shipping to pay for me).
Even better, the more orders OSB gets, the more he can reduce the price:

Plus we don't need to worry about customs fee and VAT. The shipping is a reasonable £13. I'll definitely be getting all my figures from OSB from now on. I'm dreading the additional fees I'll be slapped with very soon from my Sideshow Darth Vader. The more I read about the comments on this forum regarding his height, skinny arms, loose pants etc, the more I am regretting buying it.I find OSB is consistently the lowest prices for Hot Toys in the UK, and other figures. I picked up the Morgan Freeman CEO fig on their site yesterday for £75.00
Whatever you do, don't buy from Mothers Basement. They've proven over the past few months that they don't give a monkey's about their customers and will gladly take your money and not bother to send you your items, evidently, they also like to overcharge beyond words for their items.
Is it the same code everytime? Also is there any time limit? Had quite a few within the past 6 months.
Fair enough, your mistake.
