Because you end up paying customs fees? I thought that was kind of obvious
He has 3 options.
-Pay inflated price on ebay now - stupid
-Pay slightly more for the figure itself, with the added cost of customs fees to get it a month earlier from sideshow - stupid
Or
-Keep his current order, save $160, and not pay customs - smart
Is impatience really worth throwing money away for? Doesnt seem worth it to me. Just like the initial enterbay joker and batman prices where rediculous considering you could wait a month and get them way cheaper from a LOCAL retailer.
The $160 extra is if he goes to HK to get it, nothing to do with ordering from Sideshow
Generally speaking there's little difference between ordering from Sideshow including custom fees or waiting for a UK seller
