Re: HT Batman Begins - Batman/Wayne TF Ex. SSC PREORDERS Friday Aug 12, 10 am (Pacifi

  • Just log on to SS latest by 22:25 on Friday and do not get up before you get the order number
  • Don't get too drunk otherwise you won't be able to see properly where you need to click
  • Make sure you're room is closed so that your family does not listen to all the F@#* and other bombs you'll be dropping :wave

:rotfl :goodpost: Sounds like a plan!

Question:

Does anyone know if the heads use a peg/hole for means of attachment or is this a magnetic set up the same with the last Batman?

I had horrible luck with that magnet and hope it's some form of peg/shaft/nub etc.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I hope so too, time to test my so called 'high speed' internet . Think it could be rather busy on friday

Doesn't matter how fast your internet is, if the Sideshow servers cant handle the traffic, it will still be slow

Hahaha, no sweat... dont drink, room will be closed... and will be up on the comp from 22 on till I get THE ORDER NUMBER
What bothers me is that FedEX and UPS shipping ONLY means itll cost a bomb and be charged way too crazy by customs... Ive done business with FedEx delivery and the charges were crazy... I wish SS had an USPS Global Express/Express Mail International Option...

Is it only the shipping charges we should be bothered about when it comes to FedEX? I asked this question about approximate international shipping charge for figures and this is what darren1228 told me: seethislink

With reference to what he said, I don't think the shipping charges would be much of a worry. What I do not know is the 'Duty' on a $200+ figure delivered by FedEX? What amount were you charged, do share...

The flipping potential on this appears to have no limitations. The Iron Man Mark iv SDCC exclusive pales in comparison :lol

Impossible to gauge that without knowing number produced. But in the long run, even if they make 5,000 of these, I figure it will be more valuable than Special Project because it isn't a simple repaint, and because Batman is more popular than Iron Man.

Is there a price on this yet?

Yup, you SHOULD worry about the Shipping charge with FedEx delivery, UPS is cheaper but not by much... Fedex Charges may end up ALMOST as MUCH as the price of the figure itself (if not more), as they charge on the value of items too as insurance. Sideshow WILL NOT undervalue anything unlike private sellers...
And since I have experience let me tell you Indian Customs are RUTHLESS with private couriers like DHL and UPS, and Fedex. PLUS Fedex charges you a fee ON TOP OF CUSTOMS for handling the amount... so lets just say if your figure costs $200, your shipping from US to INDIA will cost you over $150 or so PLUS put something like $60 as customs and an addition $10 for Fedex charges and viola your thing shoots up to $430!!
Thats why I ALWAYS choose normal EMS, and undervalued... first time I ever bought a collectible to India, Paranoid old me used Fedex... I was burnt.
Anyway use the rate calculator, its pretty detailed, and will give you a GOOD estimation and whack you OFF using FedEx... and you'll know why Im so paranoid about this...

Best of luck my fellow countryman.. you'll REALLY need it...

Thanks for sharing the experience mate! However, I believe that SS has a tie up with FedEX due to which they do not charge stupendous amount of money on shipping. So if its $25 to ship the Guard. Pred. to UK, it shouldn't be more than $35 to this part of the world. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!! :pray:

Part of me wants to post that annoying "Friday" song just for the hell of it. The rest of my being is screaming "No."
