Mommar Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The offset to USAGundams percentage off is full upfront payment. With BBTS you don't have to pay until it ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwhangchoi Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, no3Ljm said: So give or take, flat rate shipping plus CA tax will end up between $385 to $389. Depends on tax percentage they're going to use. But that's atleast $30 something. Yep the US price plus taxes is a hard sell. going to be a shelfwarmer for a while if i were to guess.

Anasazi37 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, wm cheng said: Booo!!! BBTS - somebody called the US pricing and they were right! 59 minutes ago, Mommar said: Roughly 386.18 to NM from BBTS. A few of us we're guesstimating a 55-60% markup over Japan retail price, based on what Bandai has done in the past. Current exchange rate puts it at $240 before shipping, so $350 would end up being about a 46% markup, but then there's state sales tax and domestic shipping. If you go with Mommar's BBTS door-to-door estimate and then add decent courier shipping from Japan for, let's say, $35, to level the playing field, it turns into to a 40% markup. That's...better....

I don't like price, but I'll "dollar cost average" with ones I pick up later. The trouble I had last night/this morning when trying to order one was due to my credit card's automatic fraud detection. I buy a lot from overseas, but maybe I got flagged because of the odd local hour I was trying to make a purchase.

Angesdad Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) 3 hours ago, borgified said: The Canuckle head pricing for this will be possibly around $480 Beaver Bucks if the stores do get stock in. @wm cheng, @Angesdad and my other fellow Canadian Macross collectors , you know that we’re going to get hosed anyways. Avoid Navito World as they’re going to jack up the price to maybe $700 CDN if they get a few units in. 😂 Edited January 11 by Angesdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontus Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Wow, Ami ami sucks. I clicked order the moment it went live, and it immediately said none in stock, pre-order closed. That's what I get for breaking tradition and trying to participate in a pre-order rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
