I'll be picking this set up AFTER Botcon. I can always use more weapons for my figures.

Already have it preordered through BBTS, otherwise I'd wait till after the con too. Tell me, does Robot Kingdom rape you on shipping or something? Their prices seem really cheap compared to BBTS and others. What's the trade off? Can their prices really be that low without charging insane amounts for shipping? I'm not picking, I'm actually very curious.

I believe RobotKingdom is based out of Hong Kong, so their prices are cheaper per unit as they don't have to pay the import cost, but they are overseas (unless you live in asia) so the shipping is more expensive.

I assumed it'd be something along those lines. Thanks!

Still can't decide if I want this.

I know I want this set for the missiles and the ladder, the thing I had to decide was if this autoroller was good enough for me that I could cancel the other autoscout.
I think it is. I just canceled the other preorder.
If you are buying this set for the autoscout though, I'd take a look at the other version here:

It's not more expensive for me since I use their cheapest rate and I get their items within a week. I got Henkei HotShot from them and the postage would have been close to the same weather it was from BBTS or Robotkingdom. I personally save more money buying from them then I do from BBTS. But you have to pay upfront with RK. That's why I'll still use BBTS when needed. I keep on hearing how pple dislike them, but their prices always seem cheaper to me. I don't get it.

I'd like to point out once again, that Inferno is clearly NOT a ladder truck with his Universe incarnation.
The pump he comes with is entirely appropriate.

In the end, it usually balances out. Though depending on what you get if you make a order of several items depending on size and weight sometimes from overseas can come out a bit cheaper if the weight doesn't increase too much to raise the shipping costs.
