    Target I went to actually had peghooks for GI Joe figures and the only figures they had were 3 Cobra Troopers. I must admit, the CTs were pretty damn detailed. It kind of makes me want to collect the line, but I really need to see everyone else first.

    The way I’m justifying it to myself is that it’s my stupid unjustifiable birthday purchase haha but also considering that it left Hong Kong this morning and was on my door step this afternoon, at least $60 of that cost had to go to shipping

    I’m sure 90% of the people I know would think it’s stupid that I’d pay $50 for it, so the only thing that matters for us insane collectors is we are comfortable what we’ve spent in our toys.

    Dhl for the win

    Yea, I wasn’t expecting it this fast because it was listed as free shipping so I expected the super slow kind

    Amen to that

    Yeah, DHL is fantastic. I've been using it even though it's a little pricey to get my stuff from overseas that I've ordered. The last Figma I got showed up in something like three days. Considering I paid $35 for the Figma to ship DHL that fast I could easily see the $60 like you said for this larger figure and bike.

    Yea, so all things considered I’m happier with the price now than I was initially
