Isn't the figure like, $110 from iGear with a $25-40 shipping fee?
It doesn't cost that much to ship from China, HK, or any of East Asia. Not even by EMS...

Hey, sorry but that's not right.
I live in Tokyo and it costs an obscene amount to ship to America or Europe via EMS. Even air mail costs a bomb.
For a deluxe I've sold on Ebay it costs me $30-40 every time. This is due to the weak ass Dollar and the stupid strong Yen.
If you live in Japan/Asia as well and know a shipping company that can ship for cheaper than that then please let me know!! Seriously, it would make selling on Ebay even easier as I have to charge those kind of prices for shipping so I don't end up having to pay extra to cover the shipping cost out of my own pocket.
I imagine that toy companies will have deals with shipping companies to create discounts but by the looks of Robot Kingdom's shipping costs (which are much like my own) they don't.

I get packages delivered to me almost weekly by EMS. It's between $15-18 every time for a deluxe sized package. Usually between 1200-1800Y.
It's not $25-40...that or AmiAmi and HLJ is subsidizing shipping.
Jazz-1982 wrote:Interesting. Well shipping via EMS from the Japan Post Office does cost $25-40 for deluxes/IGear delicate warrior size figures so they must be doing it through some delivery company which offers them a discount or something.
AmiAmi is a great online toy store. I always order my Transformers United/Masterpiece figures.G1 reissues from them or Amazon Japan and it arrives the next day after ordering or the the first day of release if it was a pre-order.

I have the Nightbird version (paying more then $5 bucks for this is a rip) and she can't stand on her own. she falls apart just by me sneezing from across the room, and her arms just loosely dangle from her side. FAIL!! I don't even have her displayed anymore cause it's so worthless.
