Man - that's like $278!!!
That's with shipping not included, right?
Add shipping, yes - it was posted a few pages back that shipping to the US was $87 or something? Probably less to Oz, but even at that rate it's a good overall deal.

Yeah, cool - I have noticed that store being discussed.
Truth is, I've wandered in & out of the discussion till now, because I still haven't really committed to the idea of placing an OS order, so my attention hasn't been held for long. I'd love to own this piece regardless though.
Here's another reason why I'm hesitant to 'jump' so soon. Late last year, I bought the HT Bespin Luke from a local place (Saga Central) for $320 shipped. I thought that was a fair enough deal. This month, Case Fresh breaks out of hibernation, & has a sale. They dropped the HT Bespin Luke to $245 shipped. Yeah..
I'm speculating that - say, with Popcultcha.. not everyone's going to jump at $500 - or at all. I can see them discounting the Tamashii C-3PO waaay down the line. I'm not in a hurry either, but stock levels worldwide + demand = possible eBay despair later on.
Decisions.

AmiAmi listing on their website indicates "Tentative Preorder". What does that mean?

Shipping for a 1/6 is $11, a PF $17.00, and the tumbler $19.00. Iron Monger was $14.00. But I also paid tax.

No doubt
I wouldn't have worried about that piece of mind with just about any other figure I don't think.

That's precisely why I'd much rather go through an e-Tailer that I've got a familiarity & positive history with - i.e; Case Fresh or Saga Central. I'm sure Popcultcha's fine too though..

You reckon Case Fresh will get this one in?

I would suggest emailing them directly.

That's cool Centurion, it's an inside Aussie joke, this company used to be awesome but lately they've been terrible and rarely list any preorders.
