Yeah, the $7 (each) is shipped to me. I can't even hazard a guess what shipping from me to the UK is, until I have them in hand. It's actually slightly less than $7. I think it was quoted as $6.70 per figure. (Their friggin' stupid time limit orderform means I really didn't have time to absorb the mass quantity of information they barraged me with) which honestly isn't terrible. Given they like to charge two bucks for a fifty cent strip of bubblewrap.
Also, their concept of combined shipping is duct taping a bunch of mailing boxes together, or shoving all those boxes into a larger and heavier box. It's pathetic. There's no cost reduction. If anything their combining proccess is more expensive.

i would definitely be interested in signing up for this service, if I was to pay in installments how much would it be per installment and is anyone willing to let me use their account/address etc(im fairly new to the forums so would understand if people aren't!), im happy to pay first installment straight away?

I reckoned £250 would cover the cost of buying them and getting them to Jetty which breaks down to one lot of £90 then two lots of £80
Mr Bogatan already has my money for installment one.
There's be the getting it from Jetty to us cost on top of that.

I try to do my best to keep costs down when I pack them up. We've been using the foam inserts FP ships them in, , but I'm more than happy to ditch it and bundle them in bubblewrap.

£250 plus shipping and CUTA to the UK! Holy hand grenades! Man, you're making me feel a whole lot better about considering going in on gravity builder. That's mental money for a combiner wars figure! Is it really that much for a TFSS set?!
I like the figures, but no where near that much. If RORC get them as exclusives for 2017 I'll get them then!
What with this and the Unite Defensor preorder sounds like you're going 100% on this line aren't you Phil? That's a grand ambition. Be a superb collection.

I think the biggest impact you could make in the cost is to think about the customs declaration tactically. You might not get away with a truck load of sealed new figures declared as being worth ten dollars, but if you risked balancing it against the insurance that would be where the saving could be made.

How much am I looking at? Total?

How much am I looking at? Total? Well Phils figure of £250 is pretty good for a single set. $300 plus $7 per toy postage plus a bit more for insurance. But I think ordering 4 set (3 confirmed orders plus yours if you opt in) only increases the postage to jetty by $2 per character (so $7 for one bludgeon or $9 for 4 bludgeons) and insurance doesnt increase much either. If Im correct then total for each set to get to Jetty should be around £215-20. So somewhere between £215-250 for 7 toys. £30-36 per toy. International postage and customs on top of that, but they will be less than any other way of getting them from the US (or from RORC based on Botcon and club prices at AA) Each of the 3 installments would be about £75-85.

Hm. Then sadly my sensible head is turning me away... It's a bit too much foe a set where only really two or three are genuine likes. Sorry for the runaround, folks!

Ordered
Combined shipping on 5 sets certainly helps a little. Each set will work out at $320.64 including preocessing fee.
Thats about £210 each give or take depending on the exchange rate/card fee at the time. Not to bad.

Oh those fucking dicks. 6 months since installment 1 and they give 3 days notice for the second one. Just when I was feeling alittle sorry for their demise.
Yeah please, if people can send me instalment 2 asap. I think I'm good to cover it on Monday, but better safe than sorry.

It's comical. FunPub - criticised throughout the years for being so slow with everything, but now Botcon is done and the end is in sight they're in a headless chicken rush to get everything they can out.

Andy, You have noticed it says MAY 18th for the second instalment, not APRIL 18th?

Post by Bogatan on Apr 16, 2016 10:42:10 GMT
My bad.
In my defense Im sure they did only give me a few days notice last time I subscribed.

First one arrived today: Needlenose Mine came missing the handfoot gun. Glad it happened to mine because I got so much happening right now I'm out of it, and might not have thought to check them all for a few days. But no one else's is missing anything. BTW, My friend said he's willing to buy anything no one wants.
