Now the hard decision; do I get came pads at probably the same price (each) as the console?
I'll keep an eye out for a good price on single pad for when I hook it to a tv.-Kanrabat- wrote:Yes you will get gamepads. Because most of these Neogeo games are two players. So you should get a pair of gamepads for efficient two players gameplay. Just tell yourself that those gamepads were basically free because of the price you paid for the console.carytheone wrote:Yeah, I couldn't even say no.

As previously mentioned, another line I've started collecting is Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat. Now, I have no interest in getting everyone. I want the robots and monsters. So far I have Baraka and the initial three Cyborgs - Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke. I missed the boat on Goro, due to a bizarre error with Kapow Toys. So he is another one I was on the hunt for.
I recently found him for a reasonable reduction in a BBTS sale, while I was sourcing other things. Now I have avoided BBTS for many years. I bought the Seacon boxset from them upon first visiting their site, for a really good price. Only to pay that price back in customs. So I swore them off and only bought from other sellers, that are more open and flexible about such things.
I thought, it's been a few years, maybe they have learned and adapted either their shipping pricing or actively encourage you to request their value declaration to be beneath the UK customs charge threshold ($15, for those who didn't know). Nope. I just got a bill for an extra £25.

EBay seller Joe friendly might do it (if they ain't using shipping through eBay customs charges up front) and Kickstarter are technically gray areas that could do it too. Ive been stung on customs for a few things (tfsource and hlj -customs on car robots maximus was as much as the item) and never ordered from bbts knowing this and I don't really use ebay. Com any more just UK or Chinese (and still gamble) listings.
Plus the $15 limit includes postage costs too not just the items, should really be taught at school really as residents we are expected to know how our customs work, but it's normally my box has arrived, say what!!! And then (in parcel farces case) pay a handling fee because the delivery service has paid it/loaned you the money in effect with out even asking on top of the customs.
Sadly not bbts fault
