Maybe the lesson here is not to complain about GI Joe pricing and appreciate how good we have it here in the states...

I went to Walmart the other day, and bought the Iron man crappy armor (the one at the beginning of the movie) at 30 bucks. Then i saw theSW Clone Wars, and bought a Pre Viszla, 30 bucks too.
I got hiped with the Pre Viszla, so next day went to a Toy shop, bought anoter Pre Viszla and some sort of trooper at 32 bucks each. That's 124 bucks on just 4 old figs. i wish they cost only 12 bucks here. . |

Things is, i can have a lot of guys getting me stuff. The idea is to have just one sending me everything, so if there are many, i'll have to make them ship everything to a single guy, and i'll be paying lots of shipping. If i have each guy shipping by itself, it's way worse. :S For now i have just a couple trusty guys, i'm not that worried. But from time to time i feel the urge of going to look for something instead of just getting everything loose in a bag- Quote:
The change is 4 of our pesos to 1 dollar. Apparently the default cost of each figure is around 10 bucks, then it gets by 4 with change, and triplicated because shipping. Indeed. I boughtjust one, but then wanted another for fodder...now i can't touch them, they look awesome as squad. I'm thinking also on getting the Mace Windu of that wave since it has the ball hinged hip.

If you're bored, or need a particular piece, you can simply go out and get one. You'll find something eventually. I don't. Quote:
What's little here is imported, that's why the taxes are so high. For example, Plastirama here had the rights to make Joes, they paid Hasbro their cut. But now we don't have a Hasbro representative. The stuff we get is the same than there. Maybe we get somne stuff released inernationally, like RoC Wave 1, but since it's not aimed to us, we still pay full price.

Thanks, guys!
Yeah, Square Enix's Play Arts line puts most lines here in the States to shame, aside from Hot Toys or Sideshow. The detail and posablity is unlike anything you'll find here. They do cost a pretty penny, but most Japanese figures do though. I just sold the majority of my Play Arts figures, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, a couple months back in order to continue collecting Joes and customizing. You won't be disappointed in the quality of the SQUEX Halo figures though. I can promise you that. |
