POPCULTCHA and Other Figure Deals, discounts and what ever else saves money.

Deathstoke. Been waiting for this sale to get this.

I get free shipping, so not an issue for me.

Nice, great deal! Yeah, it would've been more expensive than ordering from Sideshow for me. I think the best I can do is probably Deathtrooper deluxe at $233... I have to remember to mark these sales down for next year...

Thanks for the notice, mate

Is it worth it to get a Deathtrooper deluxe $233 shipped from Popcultcha or with a discount from Sideshow with the return reward points factored in? We don't get pennies for these sales right?

You can have mine for $233 shipped. I have a sealed one coming from Sideshow after a return, but don't think I'm going to keep it.

Their sales are inconsistent.

They can happen at any time, or rather not happen at all.

Oh man, I just ordered. What happened with yours that you need to return it?

That Arkham Deathstroke is an amazing statue.

That seems to be my experience with them... I always find myself every time these sales spontaneously happen because I see figures that I ordered within months for so much cheaper...

It was just missing the ab armor, didn't notice it at first as its hidden by the harness with the grenades, but Sideshow said due to the way it's put together they would do a straight return for a new figure.

It's a gorgeous figure, I just don't have space and think I have to cut Rogue One down to one or two figures. You'll be happy with it for sure. The only thing to watch out for is the little strap that holds the small blaster, best not to even mess with it as it's really fragile and the magnets used are stronger than the both the glue and the fabric.

Yep.

Was this close to just buying it with a standard discount rather than what felt like endless waiting.

I'll keep that in mind. Was that a common issue among this figure, is it a packaging issue? I also heard articulation is a pain. I bought the other two Deathtroopers but I haven't opened them yet. I've been trying to move a bunch of old stuff with no luck, might have to have a fire sale to get whatever I can for new stuff coming in or up for pre-order. But Star Wars is definitely a keeper for me.

Oh bloody hell, I just remembered I had a new credit card with 0% foreign transaction fee. I should've used that to pay instead of Paypal. :

 

[Texas Finest]

Nice. I'm almost tempted to get a Prime 1 statue...

Shipping to the US is almost $250 though.............do it lol......

 

[Phoenixblazes]

That's what, an additional 3%? I'm assuming your PayPal is connected to another C/C?

 

[M United]

Yep.

You got a super deal by waiting.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

You got a super deal by waiting.

Saved an additional $160 AUD.

Australian or American credit card? I have a Mastercard from next month there is 0% international transaction fee form my bank but the seller overseas can still charge a transaction fee.

I had to pass because of that Costs less straight from Sideshow.

It's just straight from my Paypal balance through them so whatever their transaction fee is, I remember I had it tacked on from my previous orders so I applied for a no foreign transaction fee card, just forgot to use it. Oh well, it's not too much anyhow.

Oh really? I didn't know they could still do that. It's a Discover card.

 

[M United]

Don't forget the American dollar is better than the Australian dollar so $100us is roughly $130aud.

 

[dw316]

I was always bad at finance... Is that a good thing or bad with regards to the transaction fees?

 

[Brett Banner]

Sale only takes 20% off the original retail price for figures, not the (in almost all cases) lowered listed prices. So, not exactly a great discount on anything I can see.
