Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[EVILFACE]

Guess it cost money to navigate past kangaroos and crocodiles.

R2 is showing up as $74 to ship to Australia.

Hoping it's wrong or there's going to be cancellations.

I didn't even bother checking. Is that with a pack-out? That kind of jump doesn't really make sense... the package would be smaller and lighter than standard...


Meanwhile our local online store has it for $200AUD. Which sounds a lot, but even with a $20 discount, is cheaper than Sideshow by around 45 oz dollars

Noticed this morning that shipping to the UK is $45.54.

Never seen a cost higher than $40 before.

Maybe SS reckon they under-valued their Artoo in relation to their Threepio, so they're clawing some cash back.

(Look at that stormtrooper...so...glossy...)

Oh my god. It even has a watermark...

Like Lejuan says, places like Popcultcha seem to be where it's at.

I've requested a shipping quote. Hopefully I'll get a response before it ships.

yeah, danger money.

It shows up with that shipping price when I check my order. Might be a mistake, I'll email them.

I thought Sideshow didn't give shipping quotes until the figure was in their warehouse?

 

[devilof76]

There's no shipping quote on my order. Maybe it's just for international customers as a heads up. At that rate, I'd want fair warning too. It still may only be an estimate, but you can bet the real quote is in that ballpark.

Er yeah, that sounds right. I was momentarily stunned by the seventy-four bucks and sent a panic-chat.

Did the panic chat give you any answers?

 

[noisyrobot]

If it's $75 to Australia, I'm cancelling my order.
For shipping that's just cruel.

 

[TaliBane]

Well... would have gotten a shipping notification on this guy about now. IF it was going to ship in December that is.

The zen of passive aggression.

Vader back in january was'nt as much as some are saying R2 may be to ship. His box was one of the larger ones to date. Why would sideshow have flat-rate shipping on some of the upcoming figures (hoth) and want to charge stupid amounts for r2. What the hell

 

[TaliBane]

You are rockin the finger-tapping gifs.
