Re: Set splitting requests

I like this idea. I do feel like though it could still be pricey and everyone will likely have a bunch of overlap. Am I wrong? Like, in speed, Gimme Quickswitch and Fast clash and I'm good. As fir Siege, Ginrai, Pounce and Metalhawk. Maybe I am wrong, but isn't that what everyone wants from these?

There's always the chance of overlap unfortunately. All we can do is attempt to accomodate. Hopefully a few people will start splitting sets. I can see that making shipping less of a burden that way.

Re: Set splitting requests

Its usually a crapshoot sadly. If you're spending over $100, then you're almost garanteed duties.

Re: Set splitting requests

Yeah, my big haul that just came in from BBTS had a fairly hefty customs fee slapped on it, but if I order only one or two figures I'm usually safe.

Re: Set splitting requests

I will probably be getting the Siege set, and I have no need for the Optimus. HMU in two months.

Re: Set splitting requests

Shipped to Ontario, with conversion to cad $ and the $10 fee and HST slapped on, the set is $185-190 cad in hand.

I figure that's:

$10 for the Titan master
$30 for 1 deluxe
$30 for the 2nd deluxe
$40 for the Voyager
$80 for the Leader

To get "mathy", retail price for the figures at WalMart would be:

7.97
19.92
19.92
29.92
59.92
--------
137.65

So the $185 to import the set is a 35% price increase, so giving each retail price the same % increase we get:

$10.76
$26.89
$26.89
$40.39
$80.89

As the matching prices per figure.
$

Re: Set splitting requests

I pre-ordered the Siege set from BBTS. I'm keeping Prime, Pounce and Metalhawk, so Tidal Wave and Thunderwing will be available

Re: Set splitting requests

I am looking for Tidal Wave and Metalhawk if anyone is looking to break up the set.

Re: Set splitting requests

It's maybe a bit early; but is anyone going in on the Iron Factory Bruticus? Just asking because I've heard that their not Onslaught is coming with a dark Hunter Arcee. I just want the Arcee if anyone just wants the Onslaught.
