Well, you can just buy in store, but then you have to pay taxes, which are also about 8%! A lose/lose.
POPCULTCHA and Other Figure Deals, discounts and what ever else saves money.

The Rogue One Stormtrooper is gone, but they still have the RO Vader but doesn't come up in HT in stock listings. Glad I ordered the trooper the night the sale started...
I had the same problem finding Vader on their site on the night of the 4th.

Received my HT shoretrooper from the Popcultcha sale today. Great service and packaging as always. Ordered the RO stormtrooper 2-pack as well but only placed the order yesterday (Sunday) so it hasn't shipped yet. As far as I can tell, only the regular RO stormtrooper and the RO Vader sold out during the sale.
Think I'll be buying most of my figures from them in the future - with Sideshow now charging $40 USD to ship a figure to Australia, it's cheaper to buy locally when there are deals like this. Shoretrooper worked out 15% cheaper than if I'd bought from Sideshow with a $20 coupon. And with the 2-pack, shoretrooper and a couple of previous HT purchases, that's enough Popcultcha pennies for 2x $50 discounts. Planning to use those on Yoda and the snowtrooper.

I've been buying direct from Popcultcha for the past 3 years as I found the price was always pretty close between Sideshow and Popcultcha. Especially if I could utilse the $50 pennies on the Hot Toy figures below $500 and the 10% option when I bought multiple premium formats etc > $500 each on one order.
Especially from 1st July with the new import/GST limits.

I've bought more HT in past 3 years from Pc than I have from SSC and I live closer to SS. Pic has better sales and good ship safely.

I thought I was the only one
Saved $45 buying the retro armor sneaky instead of letting my waitlist convert. Granted I had pennies saved up , still without them would have been $10 cheaper

Popcultcha packs the items better and more securely free of charge too.
I've always hated Sideshow and their $10 charge pack out ********. They're the only ones that refuse to pack things in a box or use bubble wrap and packing material.

How much do you need to order to get the free shipping again?

Well I live in Cali so I get hit with tax and $18 ups ground to ship a hot toy an hour away ...I shipped a hot toys double boxed priority mail to Texas for $15 so I would love to hear that reasoning why it costs more to go 1/13th the distance and slower ....
Since SS did away with their monthly codes and flat rate shipping , I only buy exclusives from them . I would occasionaly buy other stuff , but all my business on non ex stuff went to PC or Forbbiden Planet

My figures from May 4th are arriving tomorrow. I had the faster/more expensive shipping as I bought a few, so the cheaper option wasn't available. Excited to check out the Shoretrooper--other figures were for parts.
RO Vader arrived from Popcultcha today. It took less time to travel from Australia to Florida than an SS shipment and for cheaper as well. Unbelievable.
As for the figure, it deserves all of the accolades it's received.

Just saw on Popcultcha's site that Hoth Leia is available for pre-order. $315 AUD. Not too bad (and strangely cheaper than the DS Gunner) and works out a little cheaper than from Sideshow assuming $20 discount code and $40 shipping to Australia. Plus, no predicting how much Sideshow will be charging for shipping in a year's time and what the exchange rate will be then.
I haven't pre-ordered from Popcultcha before and the $100 deposit isn't appealing when the figure is so far away, but I might be tempted with this one since it's a must-have to complete the Hoth trio. Any idea how long the discounted pre-order price usually lasts? I think the DS Gunner was cheaper when it was first listed but has since gone up?

I ordered on May 4th, it shipped out on May 9th and arrived on May 13th. Not bad at all, for a shop on the other side of the world.
I suggest that you contact them, as I read on the RO Vader figure thread that several people had been notified by PC that they had run out of figures and were being offered the ANH Vader figure for the same price.

My Ro Stormtrooper was delivered today. In perfect shape as usual. Encased in bubble wrap and flawless shipper all the way from AU. Wish I could say the same for when I order from SS... Came just as quick, in better shape, and cheaper.
Has anyone ever bought anything off Bonanza.com? They have some Hot Toy figures on there, but don't know if its a legit website? Prices are pretty high to.

Does Sideshow do codes or promotions for memorial day?
