1/6 Sideshow Star Wars Scout Trooper 1/6th Scale Figure

[ST1138]

16 bucks and change to Arizona. . . Who knows. . .

That's the same it was for me and I'm also in AZ, but I have all my PO's on a pack-out so it'll be an extra $10 bucks for me. But I really want the Exclusive sooooo...guess I have to swallow it. That's crazy! Just checked BBTS which I have an extra one on PO there and shipping is like $8.78 with the double boxing!!

Not cool, really wonder how they do their shipping pricing now.....

Tucson

I'm in Tucson as well. $16.80.

They're probably shipping it for cheaper, upping the rate and pocketing the surplus. It's like buying off of eBay now... love getting raped on shipping.

It definitely feels a bit like they're padding their shipping costs. Its hard for me to believe that a company like Sideshow doesn't get a better rate and on top of that given that they literally do nothing by default but stick a label on the existing item box something doesn't feel right. Seems like another way of sticking additional costs to collectors. Plus like I mentioned earlier I'm not sure how they determine that some figures qualify for the $10 flat rate shipping but others are considerably more.

Where's my rape whistle?!

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's pretty funny on already heavily inflated toys that there's still room to gouge.

 

[user 19388]

Well, I only got one good eye left. Guess they're gonna gouge that one too... for good measure. Wait, forgot about the brown eye, where's the grape jelly?! Time to make some peanut butter bars. @.@

 

[afattori]

So us blokes from Az all have different shipping charges. Makes no sense to me. It is like eBay, offer discount price and jack up the shipping charges.

 

[user 19388]

Well, regardless of all the hullabaloo, I'm looking forward to this figure. Just really want my speeder bikes at the same time.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The price gouge has kept my mind off the fact that still no pictures have surfaced.... and this starts to be charged and shipped tomorrow!!!

Man what is SS thinking, 34.77 shipped UPS to oregon vs BBTS's 18.70 for FEdEx. Talk about robbery. Has anyone seen any good photos of the bike? I'm wondering if it's really worth the 300 dolalrs. I'd love to get two scouts and a bike, but damn 300 bucks is just huge for the bike.

 

[TonTon]

^^That was my initial plan, but couldn't stomach the $700 price tag all at once so went for 1 scout and 1 bike, though I know I'll break down and get a second scout at some point.

 

[Corrose]

Yeah what is it about this set that makes you want a second scout. I was just considering that myself as well. Definitely going to wait.to see the first one I ordered in band first though.

Damn! I do not feel so bad paying 20.30 to Az. What a joke. I shipped dx11 joker to Florida for 25.00 priority mail. 15.00 to new Jersey from Az for another similar sized 4 lb figure . I do not remember which one it was. But this new shipping charges scale is looking like a bad new trend.

Is that euros or U.S dollar?

Dollars.

Sweet, even cheaper than my estimate! I emailed them about it, so we'll see.

Even by paying the inflated shipping rates to SS, with the 25 dollars off and the additional 20 it comes out a bit cheaper. I wish SS would use Fedex, since they are quicker and usually cheaper. I hate UPS.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Early arrival too. Processed on 7th to Italy, so next week will be here. Cant' wait!

I live in Oregon and my shipping was only $16....
