    No worries, in other news, what on earth are they smoking at BBB....

    And that's pre-shipping as well?

    This price even makes Omegalock's seem somewhat competitive. Man, it's kind of dampened the mood because Showz's can't be that much less and that's a lot of mula to be spending on a character I don't 'need'. I'm thinking of playing the waiting game but somehow I doubt this guy will shelfwarm like some of the other FT characters recently.

    Decisions, decisions!

    Member has earlier preorder windows and pay less deposit £6.99*0.98, then pay balance £100*0.98. In addition, if you do a little math, you will find 2% discount is better than 2% store credit. And more, you receive the product about 3-4 weeks earlier

    Dumped my preorder from a U.S. online store . Much as I want him , I refuse to pay for a figure with a possible paint defects. I’ll either get him after a price reduction or find one on eBay that’s already been inspected. I’m done gambling with my money when it comes to this hobby .

    One step ahead of you, buddy. I've noticed this a while ago and moved all my PO's to Showz. Their shipped prices are even better than BBB's pre-shipped prices for the most part. Not only that but they honor PO's prices at the exchange rate at when they were placed. Eg PO'd MP Skyfire at when he was only £218 and that's what I'll have to pay.

    BBB outside of deals and the odd exception are at best marginally better than domestic retailers here. Not quite worth the trouble for me.

    It did. I didn't even notice the Styrofoam at first because of it.

    Yes, it came with the usual covering.
    Note that mine also came from Agabyss, so they might have received a bad batch -- or one that was out in the heat too long.
