It's true that thanks to the strong performance of Euro compared to the Dollar, I've saved around 70-80€, and that, right now, is A LOT of money for me. It's a good time for Euro-collectors to buy from the US! And it was about time :)

Doesn't that just even out with insane shipping and import costs?
 
Well thats If you can get shipping prices out of them of course. In a mad moment I thought I'd fill out one of those shipping quote forms on their site and ask how much it would cost to ship to the UK and as per they say they can't tell me until two weeks before It's shipped to me. What on earth is the point of that? It meant to be a quote and yet they can't tell me?

I wouldn't purchase anything unless I knew how much the shipping would come to. It's insane.
 
Spike is sharing the front pic of the SDCC 'banner' on the SSC home page. Love seeing little things this. Score one for the Whedonverse. :rock

I know. It's one thing if I could know exactly how much it would end up costing me, but I won't. And if I don't know the shipping and if I recall correcly I need to know the total amount of the item and shipping before I can calculate import fees.

Is rent really that cheap over there? Rent must be a LOT higher in the US. Don't even get me started on my mortgage.:horror

You can get a one room apartment in a small city for that about that amount, yeah. If I include the unknown shipping amount and import fee (anyone know how much these pieces usually cost to ship to Europe?) I might be able to get a two room apartment.

Sure, the swedish krona is also going pretty strong compared to USD, but I can't afford it. Even though it might actually be the cheapest I will ever get Spike...

I'm till hoping you get a Spike PF in the future as well. I know you've had your eye on one for a while. Just let me know and I'll keep my eyes peeled for one. :1-1:
 
^^ Thanks. It always help to have a extra pair of eyes. If I could find a insanely cheap PF ex, I won't care if I can't afford it, I'll buy it anyway. But somehow I doubt that will happen...

You never know. I've seen stranger, especially with these pieces. They're unpredictable at times.

First off I am very lucky, I get a special deal through the largest importer of toys and games in the Netherlands. Reason I have been personal friends with the owner for more than fifty five years. :)

Why not ask on the boards? A good friend of mine got one for 200 shipped...
 
I have a hard time remembering what shipping cost when I checked it. It's either 100-something or 200-something. If it's 200-something I would have to wait even if I found a ex for 200.

I can definitely understand that. Shipping is a killer on some of these pieces. A deal will come around though. :rock
 
I got my EX for around $225 shipped only a few months ago. It's quite possible to find a good deal on him.
