nice of amazon to finally catch up to the price BBTS has had for the past 2 years:

I actually might have made a mistake in thinking Predaking was previously full price. There's a possibility I confused this with Trypticon's somewhat recent "un-sale" pricing.

Still though, ~$98 shipped aint bad.

Hey man, never feel ashamed of posting deals for your fellow fans. At the very basic, this becomes a reminder for people who are new to collecting that this good deal is still out there and anyone who has prime can save on shipping instead of buying at BBTS (though would the fact that they get taxed balance that out? I dont know state laws)
It's random as hell. It probably varies from state to state. For me it varies from site to site. BBTS, TFSource, Amazon and if I'm remembering correctly TRU do not charge me sales tax. HTS charges me tax.william-james88 wrote:(though would the fact that they get taxed balance that out? I dont know state laws)

I thought this was supposed to be a bargain? I dunno what to do. I didn't even want the figure that much. I just thought why not try it since it was quite a bit cheaper than usual.

Canada and the UK have a similar customs tactic for imports. They charge a nominal fee for their service plus the 20% VAT. Since there are so many products and imports, hey usually let things through and only look at the items that have an indicated fee of above £75-100. But they can still tax any import with an indicated price and sometimes do so when it nears the end of the month to fill a quota. I guess this month was lower and they are taxing everything that has a declared value. You probably didnt ask that your product be labelled as a gift and they pounced on it to fill their quota of either amount taxed or customs forms filled.

Yeah I dunno what I did. All I do know was that purchasing from that site was quite different than when I ordered from AmiAmi a few months ago. Having to wait for a purchase email before I could even give money was a bit strange and now this customs thing has really thrown me. I've emailed the site and asked if they'd take the item back from Parcelforce and refund my initial payment as I just can't afford another £20 this week and I don't want the figure that badly. If not then I'm just gonna have to find the £20 from somewhere and then receive the figure and try sell it and get all my money back.
I wish I'd never ordered it now but as I said I've never ever encountered this sort of thing despite years of ordering items from overseas without any issue. I'll certainly hesitate before making any further purchases.

I don't see no decimal. That five-hundred and ninety-nine dollar baby can't fool me!
