Depends on the shipping service chosen. They're all different prices, and all varyingly dependent on the base price of the item(s) being purchased.
I'm very distrustful of "it depends" when asking about shipping. If this were eBay, it'd be SOMEWHAT excusable, but I expect a certain level of planning from larger outfits, so it's a bit odd to see FunPub not include the shipping price in the total. I guess they're trying to "price" the set low, sticking S&H separately, as though it has nothing to do with them or the actual price of the shipped items?
Lame-o.

Since the 7th figure is technically free (if one goes for all six), dividing by 6 might be more mathematically accurate.
You must be like catnip to the ladies!
"Buy 2, get 1 free!" So you're not REALLY paying for 3 - you're paying for 2!
Such good consumers we are!
(I hope you don't mind the teasing!

On the other hand, you could say that the 7th figure is NOT free: it costs $282. Since you cannot individually buy the "free" figure, you must pay all $282 to own it, and thus the other 6 figures could be seen as "free" if all you really wanted was the 7th.
EDIT: No, wait - let's go full nerd: 5 deluxes and 2 scouts? So technically, you cannot divide equally, as the size (thus prices) are not equal. So what's the official ratio valuation of deluxe to scout then? 1 scout = 1/2 deluxe? I'm new here, so I'll let a senior member give me the official valuation ratio, as my own determination of said figure would most likely face correction.
From there, we could easily devise the mathematical formula for the exact valuation of these figures, and if we have the shipping rates, we can get even more accurate by including the options.
OR... we could just go with my general calculation of about $40 each.
It's a blue pill, red pill situation?
