The real issue Messi is that they're taxing you across all figures in the license to stop you from buying figures from such a shitty movie.
You can't complete the DCEU if you don't buy them. These are cornerstones man.

What's the point of having a complete DCEU when it's gonna be reboot and all these figures aren't canon?
Doesnt matter, at least Harley and Joker will be safe the the Cinematic Batverse
They aren't dropping Margot even if they reboot
Seriously. I wonder why they made that the sole face for the figure. I get that marketing used that expression a lot in promotions but it shouldn't have been the only one provided.

They would if they wanted an actual good Harley tho.
I will fight you.

Oh! You guys reminded me of this one time I was at SDCC (I think, it could've been another) years ago and saw a Hot Toys Robocop set in the dealer's hall. It had a price sticker on it that read $130. I think this was 2008 but the memory sticks out because I'm a big fan of Robocop.
I suppose a price increase of over $100 over the course of almost 10 years isn't the most ridiculous thing.
edit: I was almost right with the year. It was a 2006 Robocop.

Yea, I also own the very first Robocop. Def more affordable back then

I quit buying the OT hot toys mainly because the sculpts are pretty bad as far as likeness. I figured why pay that much if it looks like someone cosplaying

Haloid thinks he can tell people to buy stuff for him when he just dumps on things people like. I've been there supporting you in buying everything you want, Messi, don't listen to that Larry David and his toy hating of lies! You keep on buying all the cool Harleys you like!

I know absolutely nothing about Macross (or really any mecha anime) but I really like these designs.

Freaking love that head on prison Harley.
Actually wish her hair was like that most of the movie.

I feel like I should buy more Harley's but Hot Toys aren't supplying a new version to buy. Not even the Gold Dress version.
Do Ami Ami charge on order or shipping? Asking for a friend.

Also Haloid said "Nendo sucks" and I'm running out of ways to defend him before AFG eats him alive
They request payment after all your stuff is in stock. You get a week to pay and change the type of shipping if need be.
Usually it's best to do a monthly order and add whatever preowned/in stock as long as you have something that comes out later in the month. I'm surprised yo--er, your friend doesn't already use AmiAmi for stuff!

Shipping.
I just want the Nendos of Harley, Tracer and Mei but they come out months apart. Will I get fucked on shipping??

All orders are done by month, so if you order all 3 at once they'll be released in their separate months, and you'll have to pay for them based on that month. You could wait until the last one is in stock and add the other two I suppose, or just do what everyone else does and buy lots of things in a single month. That way, none of the above will be lonely when they find their way to you!
Shipping isn't really that bad with SAL Registered, but EMS is the way to go for convenience at cost!

You're getting into Nendos. You are fucked already.
Any idea on a ballpark shipping cost on ems and Sal registered for a nendo? Also how long does shipping generally take.
Just Harley and overwatch

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's best to forget that EMS even exists, especially if you're ordering one thing at a time.

EMS usually takes 3-5 days or so. SAL registered will be 2-4 weeks. For a Nendo, you're probably looking at 2000¥ (EMS) VS. 1200¥ (SAL-R)
That's how it always starts. But what happens when they start making Olivia Wilde Nendos?
I'd be all over any kind of Olivia Wilde merch. Especially Nendos.

I'd say a single Nendo would be around 2000 Yen or so depending on the weight and shipping price. Might cost more if the box is larger or if you choose EMS.
*Order EMS all day everyday and get big monthly orders in 2-3 days
Freezy pleezy let Messi have some Nendoroni and cheese!

Ugh. I ordered two Native figures today that cost 3100¥ shipping each.

Whatever. You'll get the option to change it when you submit payment anyway. It'll show prices at that time too.

this is Max's various VF-1 (blue) in the anime

I am getting ready. Honestly don't think I'll buy much since the stuff I'd want is probably too rare or expensive. Mythos Vader statue is my grail get there.
I do but I at least have good and varied taste.
Better'n Pops though. I'm not big on Nendoroids but I've got a few that look good. At least GSC puts some effort into them. /overdoneandinappropriatecomparison
