I’ve spotted ROC toys here in Argentina in three different toy stores (Cebra, T*o Mario, Apio Verde) but at ridiculous prices:
3 ¾ figures: $99.90 Argentine Pesos ($26.15 US Dollars) Alpha Vehicles: $199.90 Argentine Pesos ($52.33 US Dollars) Bravo Vehicles: NOT FOUND Night Raven: $599.90 Argentine Pesos ($157.04 US Dollars) P.I.T. Mobile Command Center: NOT FOUND 12” figures: $199.90 Argentine Pesos ($52.33 US Dollars) Tough Troopers: $299.90 Argentine Pesos ($78.51 US Dollars) Snake Eyes Sword & Mask Role Play Set: $399.90 Argentine Pesos ($104.69 US Dollars) Final Conclusion: Collecting in South America is a pain in the ass and buying stuff in toy stores at these prices is almost impossible. Thanks God I buy everything from Mr. Focus here in the tank PS: I'll try to upload pics during the week.

Wow, ShopKo doesn't even change $26 dollars a single figure (as if 12.99 isn't ridiculous enough)

Another important thing to take into consideration is that an average salary in Argentina is $2000/2500 Argentine Pesos (US Dollars $523.56/654.45) but happily that's not my case.

Hey any of you guys from other countries who need help getting stuff at better prices find a "shopping buddy" someone in the US who will get stuff for you. Get Paypal, send him the cash and have him buy and ship. At the prices you guys are quoting even with shipping you would save quite abit. Check feedback to make sure the guy you are doing this with is reputable. And hey, throw him a bone or two for helping you out.
Oh and Cobra Venom, nice avatar and welcome to the tank! |

Yeah, this is painful...
You can try BBTS and the pile of loot to make the shipment to Argentina cheaper. That's what I'm going to do next year when I return to Brazil. Good luck. |
