    Yes unfortunately it already ended which I think its a mistake, there is no point in saying weekend when it ends the first day of said weekend and why even mention the 27th when it's essentially a 25 to 26 promo.
    I think (and hope) someone confused the AM with the PM since that would actually make sense promo wise and not confuse people.
    I for example was going to make my purchases today, the only day I have free only to find out the 27th doesn't really count :(

    No problem, thanks for the feedback :) 

    Cheers! Nice photos

    I think we might not be able to do that, can you send an email to [email protected]? He will help you manage the combine shipping.

    I think you can still submit a request to us to see if we can help you get the parts

    Tracking # has been updated but did not upload just yet
    3A5V616574*** is the tracking #, it will be uploaded today later

    Not very likely, our instocks are low for this product :( 

    There should be some updates showing up next Monday

    Some holiday vibe right there :) 

    We might but as a tradition from FT, we dont know how many units we can get for sure, so we can only open the listing for order after the release or we can get a solid yes from Fanstoys

    Sorry but we dont know yet

    Currently we dont know the time frame

    Don''t need to be sorry @AbbytheCat. Your shipping prices are always so low I don't think it was even worth that guy (@mynameisxinxin asking for combined postage.

    @DinoSnarl to also be fair, like 2 decades ago, when I didn't understand ebay much, I bought 5 items from one seller....paid each item individually with full shipping, then asked about combined shipping. I could have saved $50 2 decades ago...that's a lot :p ....c'est la vie

    @AbbytheCat what the heck is this? o_O 

    Or, in other words: what rewards can be unlocked?

    Odds are that between a bunch of smaller packages, they would ship at a much lower price (total) than a single big one, as these are overseas shipment where the bigger and heavier the package, the price goes up fast.

    So for a bunch of small packages that would be for example let's say the shipping for 4 packages is 4$ each, for total of 16$, the same items combined in a big box could end up costing 50$ (again, this is just an example and not actual prices as I don't have the parameters but it's the general idea).

    Dang, that was an "opps"... I guess I was lucky then as combined shipping was the very first thing that I realized was possible and jumped on it then and still do whenever I add to cart and don't see it happening, I contact the seller first to confirm and get a proper quote. Heck even some items last year, the shipping was really nasty, wrote to the seller and he adjusted the next day for over 50% less than it was.

    But like my other reply, shipping from overseas is usually calculated by size and weight, and a bunch of smaller packages can be a lot less than a single large and heavy one.

    Mind your fanboy. There's no point back by tagging my name.

    Thanks for your input. But I have calculated and felt like paying a lot more (for Asia destination). I already check their shipping calculation are much cheaper with multiple items compared to only one item so I want to know if there are combined options for PO. at the moment, I am continuing to monitor the exchange rate until the auto-cancellation by next week and also, the items I'm buying has parts design errors and announced delay the release. Not sure yet showz caught wind of the news.

    SZS also uses fitted shipping boxes for each item (more protective) so a combined shipping box would be a significant deviation in logistics and probably an expense if they have to buy the box size.

    Not sure about that but in my experience having combined shipping is the best way to save more. I do understand there are some situations going on in China. Probably the shipping cost has risen.

    Quite possibly...

    And yes, most time combined does save money, but this might be a case that it's part of their process. Just thinking that another possibility is that if they have multiple warehouse that some items are at, it's better to send from each locations, than have all items sent to a central location to combine. (just thinking out loud at another possible explanation)

    Heck, just the headaches I've seen with what's happening via my AliExpress purchases this year alone and how fast the shipping increases when I raise the number of items gives me the notion that it can be a bit of a pain for some shipment to stay low depending on the item.

    But as others states, Showz's shipping isn't that bad compare to many (and their prices for items is quite competitive), heck, I'd buy from them (and other similar stores) way before I would touch any US based stores just due to the shipping that's easily 5 to 10 times more.

    Thanks to ShowZ and the great price(s) on some of their items. Was eyeing this figure for a bit and pulled the trigger today.

    Can't wait to have this on hand. Which reminds me, @AbbytheCat, do you know when the items will ship?

    Note that some have trouble figuring out the ankle tilt as it's a bit particular, but I posted instruction to help.

    It's a very nice figure so I do hope that you'll enjoy it.

    I am also curious. I've got 30 or 40 pre-order items and can't wait to see what happens next time I check out.
