New jack nicholson "the shining" figure!!!

[Voorhees27]

i'm kinda hoping abc-express don't get him. that way i won't have made a ******* preemptive move and paid way more for shipping (and eventual customs) than i should have. i don't need another entry in the "idiot" diary.

Just curious, what was the shipping cost from Toys2? Also what would shipping be to you from Asia?

I figure I typically come out even on the idiot move versus great buy category

man, i wish i had your karma
i think i'd actually waste less money a month if i paid a highly qualified accountant to watch my back and make sure i didn't make stupid purchases. i'm a monkey with a debit card

i think it was about $43. from abc-express, if i deal with him off ebay, it would be about $25. but also, the guys there are so "careless", sometimes they "accidentally" forget to write the real cost on the customs label. so sometimes the "poor" customs folks here miss it. now watch some MI5 internet bot pick this up and i get shafted up the bum for all future imports!

Yeah believe it or not that is "actual" shipping cost given from Canadapost. When you get your package check out the cost spent on the shippment, Toys2 never makes a single penny's profit on our stuff.

It looks like some Asian country's have way better rates than here in Canada. I once shipped 2 Rambo HT's item to Europe and had to pay $101 because the wieght exceeded the amount allowed.

Needless to say I don't like Canadapost very much, its a real joke.

Shipping from Toys2 is around $24, UPS. Hope I don't regret this either. Ordered mine last night.

 

[EVILFACE]

I always select UPS from them.

Well to give you an example being that i'm from Canada I have to pay sales tax as well. I paid almost the exact same as all you U.S. buyers. I paid $22 CDN. He charges everything in U.S. funds so with the exchange i've recieved no special "Canadian" treatment.

Now to figure out just how the hell to actually pay for the damn thing!

 

[eighthsamurai]

looks's like canda's international postal services are as sucky and expensive as the UK's. well maybe not that bad.

 

[galactiboy]

Didn't realize I could've had it shipped through UPS, that would have been easier

 

[eighthsamurai]

hey gb, did that mess up the whole balance in the "idiot" diary or are we still good for today?

 

[galactiboy]

Hmmm... I think that puts me a bit more in the idiot category Good job catching it

 

[**16k**]

Just ordered mine!!!!!

 

[6joker9]

congrats on a great purchase 16k

Showing just 5 left of this group.

I'm thinking 100 total will be made. Wonder if they come in a box with graphics? If not, I'll make my own

 

[wofford29]

I think I'm going to hold off until I see pics of the final product.

 

[6joker9]

lol. you might loose out or pay a higher price.

 

[**16k**]

Box or no box, who cares, that fig will definitely be on display in my collection!

I did that with the original Joker figure... sure I was able to get the V2, but it cost an extra $50 and I still replaced the sculpt

I think he ended up being my most expensive figure after replacing the body, getting a head from Les and a hat from Coco

 

[6joker9]

yeah i'm also hoping for a box similar to da crm figure. that box is evil!

 

[6joker9]

there was a joker like that on ebay a few weeks back. orange box. 300usd.
