Good online retailers you use?
I'm fairly certain this may have been brought up, but I can't use the search button (board lag issues) and searching manually yeilded no end, so I thought I'd post a quick enquiry:
For those of you who shop online, where do you purchase your TFs? I only use TRU.ca and Kooltoys.ca, but both are limited. For instance, are tehre any reliable, fast shipping, resonably priced online retailers that carry more recent product? (for an example: Animated, Universe, Henkei, or even less recent stuff like later movie figs, Encore or even the BWX reissues from Takara)
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Re: Good online retailers you use?
Wow, two quick replies. Thanks!
I have considered BBTS before, but I wonder: is shipping particularily pricey or slow? Also, they're in the US, so taht means duty fees.

I asked them about the Duty fees, they told me it depends on the total price or the custom officer. I did a recent purchase with them. Wave 3 TFA DLX, Soundwave, Jazz, Snarl and oil slilck. They were shipped June 27th and arrived today. Their process is pretty fast. For TFA delux after shipping it is on par with buy them all at retail in Canada. For leader and voyage classes they are slightly more expensive (10 dollar range I believe)

Re: Good online retailers you use?
shipping prices are not bad and for me it usually takes about 2 weeks for my order to arrive. yes you do pay duty fees with BBTS but with TFsource there are no duty fees, well from my experience I have never paid any duty on items bought from tfsource.

Re: Good online retailers you use?
when I ordered my TFA wave 3 DLXs from bbts I just went with regular shipping with no tracking # and it was about $17 ( US funds)for 4 figures! not too bad at all ( equals the gas I would spend, searching for the Figures, when released here in Canada) and the price of each figure worked out to be about $11.25 (U.S funds) each
I could of went with a more faster shipping with a tracking # for about $26 (US), if I had my time back I would of done that!

Automaton Toys and BBTS. Sometimes A3U, but I prefer to buy there in person. Also Kooltoyz. And various online stores from HK and Japan (toy-wave.com, etc.).

Re: Good online retailers you use?
11.25 USD for each delux and 17 USD for shipping, add them together is about 62 USD, after the currency exchange it is about 63-64 CND, if I buy them from warmart, 14.99 each, plus 8% GST, extra 7-6% PST for other province. end up paying around 63 CND, that does not include the money you spend on gas or public transit.
Benzo, I did not need to pay duty fee, I wonder how much did u purchase from BBTS, maybe there is a price amount for duty fee.
