    And that just resulted in my instant pre-order of Soar. Thanks Orson!

    Now just get a POL-esque system without having to email you all the time and CP will be perfect!

    And allow paying for preorders once they are in stock - then it will be perfect.

    I wouldn't expect that anytime soon. BBTS can get away with it because of how big an operation they are. CP couldn't afford to work on that model... at least not yet

    On topic, CP has Kronos for $155. Kronos for $155 and free shipping, doesn't get better than that. Anyone see it less than $155?

    Was hoping they would also distribute the business card holders and the ties (I see they will have the silicone ice tray).

    Orson, question for you because I'm not seeing the answer anywhere obvious. Is the "Free shipping" option still going to be the cheapest option you currently offer (Priority Mail), or a downgraded service like USPS Parcel Post?

    Once you get into the CP loyalty program it's kind of a moot point. When you build up a decent BBTS POL shipping ends up being a few bucks per figure. I've found that CP's already discounted price plus additional loyalty discount generally ends up being right on par with BBTS POL price after shipping, and I don't need to wait for weeks or months to ship my stuff!

    I'll check into them. I haven't seen the offer yet but they may be in a different classification and slipped past me...

    It'll be a mix of Priority, FedEx, and USPS Parcel. Possible some FedEx SmartPost as well. Whichever method is the low one for that shipment. There's always the option to choose otherwise though if you want to guarantee it comes via a specific method.

    Appreciate it! They are also by Kotobukiya if that helps (you may already know this).

    Canceled my preorders "elsewhere" and pulled the trigger on on Scoria for $185 and Kronos for $155 because of the CP's free shipping. Free shipping and good price on these figures, I'm a happy camper.

    Haven't tracked down the ties yet (still checking through offers from "not the usual" manufacturers), but I found the business card holders. They will go up soon.

    Great news, I love your store as well.

    Any chance you will ever do a no pay preorder?

    Your Soar is the best price out there, but I just cannot spend that money now, so something like that would be awesome!

    Good to know. I just gave it a shot on my Soar pre-order. We'll see how it goes!

    Thanks.

    I noticed that you have free shipping to the 48 states, lowered shipping cost to Canada, anything for Hawaii? I have Scoria on pre-order with you and have shipping @ $18.35 for USPS Priority Mail (got in on the Thanksgiving Doorbuster). I go to check out Soar and have the option of Free Shipping or $18.15 USPS Priority Mail. If I am not mistaken, I had other pre-orders cancelled before when Free Shipping was an option but since I am in Hawaii I do not "qualify". Thanks in advance for answering my question, I am sure there are others in the 808 that would like place orders with Captured Prey...
