I can typically get most figures for cheaper on AliExpress than if I buy them from Locker Toys. It's just a matter of striking when the iron is hot with Ali Express. Typically 40% or bettter of a discount. Ali Express sellers change the base price up and down all of the time, so you just need to watch the prices. About $18 each is the sweet spot IMO.
Generally speaking, BBTS is almost always higher than any other seller it seems. I don't think I've every bought from them when it wasn't on discount or a BBTS exclusive.
Second that, I've ordered from lockertoys but many times it pays off from AliX. It depends of the timing, coupons etc.. They do change the price now and then and they also match prices if you contact them. I have done this before. I also try to keep the price around €15 or below. The AliX sellers normally ship the figures a few days earlier when compared to lockertoys. I cannot complain about customer support either since in one of these last sets the helmets were to small and they had to ship new ones. The question is would they do it if I didn't contact them? I know lockertoys was a bit more proactive on that end and have also helped with broken or damaged articulation.
