I missed getting one the other day by 6 minutes. Broke down and bought one for $80 on ebay

Living in Canada, I find GSP a total rip off. There are Ebay auctions that I actually just get my friend in the US to win/buy it for me and have it shipped to his house. Then I pay to have it shipped to me and it's actually cheaper than me buying it off the seller on Ebay. I think some of it has to do with the parameters the seller puts in when they sell too.

Just got my shipping notice!

I got a shipping notice for my Revolution set, but not the Missile Command set that was purchased in the same order. I'm trying not to worry...

I got a shipping confirm for my Revolution set and the Missle Command HQ, both from the same order, but shipped in separate boxes with separate tracking...so, yeah, you should worry.

;) Joking, of course. They're just coming from separate locations/fulfillment centers and one is probably just slower than the other in getting the order out.

EDIT: actually, after looking at the tracking, it shows both items coming from Jonestown, PA. So I dunno wtf. Seems like they'd just ship 'em both in one box. Maybe they're trying to get items out ASAP.

I got a second email now showing them shipped together so apparently it was just a hiccup.

In other news...has anyone else noticed this text on the Missile Command set's page:

Out of Stock

Coming Soon...

The Revolution set does not have that same optimistic message. It looks like there will be a second round of these Missile Command sets going up (presumably after the Canadian con).

If i want to buy multiple items from the same seller, it totally and utterly blows, as oddly there is no way to combine shipping on items listed with the GSP. Joes often fit into this category, so that limits my options a lot.

Regarding the Missile Command set, i got one for $75 just after SDCC. I ended up paying $130 in total including shipping and import charges, but unfortunately that's just what it costs when you're collecting Joes in Denmark. Should've collected Legos instead ;)

I only ship GSP to overseas buyers and if someone wins multiple auctions, or contacts me in advance of the multiple items they want, I create a new auction and the combined sold price or the agreed upon price, so they can buy them all under one auction and have them shipped together. Then I just cancel the other auctions. Reach out to the sellers and see if they are willing to do the same.

Remember we have Hascon coming up as well.So there might be 2 more rounds of this thing on HTS.

Hmmm. I got my shipping notice for the SDCC Daredevil but not my revolutions set. They were put in as separate orders though..albeit 20 seconds apart ...with the Revolution set order being placed first. Have confirmation notices for both but only one shipped so far..fingers crossed no screw ups...
