Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
Rodan, Tyranus: Por qué no hablamos en buen "shileno" y nos aconsejamos de donde encargar figuras: ebay, bbts, SDC, Kametoys, etc... Jajaj es broma no creo que al resto del foro les gustaría que postiaramos en castellano.
Now seriously, last time I bought from ebay I ordered 2 HT figures (Falconer and Tracker Predators) and when the figures arrive to Chile the post mail charged me in taxes about US$ 160!!! (no se a cuanto esta el dolar pero fueron como 83 lucas), I've bought HT figures before on Ebay and never had to pay taxes. After that bad expierence I decided to preorder the Batman DX12 an Joker 2.0 from Kametoys, cuz I didn't want to risking of paying ridiculous taxes. I've never ordered form SDC o bbts... Are those trusted places to order? Have you paid taxes in Chile buying form them?
Well we already tried to post in spanish and some members of the forum got mad

...
About what you said.. when ordered from eBay.. what was the postal service you hired? it was shipped to Chile, using public mail (i.e Correos de Chile, USPS, Hong Kong Post, etc) or private mail (Fedex, UPS, etc).. the private mail delivery not only charges you the customs taxes (which is right) they also charge you their own fees, which in Chile sometimes is just as much as 30-40% of the value of the item you're recieving (that sucks

)...
Once I bought a figure from a forum member here, he marked the CIF value as $415, used public mail service, and I was not chrged by customs...
At the moment it seems Kametoys is a good choise, they lowered their prices, but they're not the best all the time. For example if you plan to get the Batpod this is cheaper from BBTS (including taxes and shipping, they also use USPS which is a good thing, and mark the figures as gifts) I got a figure once from SSC, and used Chilebox, so they sent the figure to Miami with free shipping, that was nice , except Chilebox then charged me like around $100 on shipping only (plus or course the customs taxes)...
The thing is, it's hard to say which is the best option to buy figures, I'll say you have to analyze case by case...
