I'm looking at War-Toys.com and they quote me "starting $30 airmail priority with insurance. Please feel free to order and we refund any overpayment on the shipping."
Would ordering in bulk help me save on total cost or recommend me a better website selling? If not, anyone want to share with me? -------------------- |

If not, anyone want to share with me? echo base toys told me if my shipping address is different from my billing address they dun charge tax. bill came, was charged tax. now they telling me they will deduct that amount in my next purchase. but end of it all, the shipping is killing me. think buying online is a last resort to me from now on. I resort to begging the toy shops here to bring in the stuff. Most of the time, it doesnt work. Heheee. -------------------- |

Actually yellow box and playpen also cover quite a lot of loose stuff (esp YB). Pricewise, i think factoring in shipping the cost is still cheaper unless the item is really unavail in singapore. What exactly are you looking for by the way? -------------------- I'm not a toy addict... at least i dun think so :P

I think like what bro tnaig001 had mentioned above, you should try places such as yellow box and planet toys. Much cheaper as compared to overseas online store. Unless really no alternative, then no choice have to pay premium price for what you want.

QUOTE(Redders @ Jul 24 2007, 09:06 AM) ebay has quite a few reliable Hong Kong sellers too. There're a few reliable US sellers in ebay too, like 'blackopstoys'. His shipping rate is most reasonable, compared to many sellers in US who sells 1:6th. |

So far, I have been searching for a 160th SOAR helmet fr HT. Checked almost all online stores but to no avail. Does anyone here got 1 to let go? One bloody goondu fr yahoo auction quoted me exhorbitant price at 6 pieces of red. |

Dun make this degrade into a SEARCH Thread pls!
Stick to topic of reliable online stores. What I did previously was to shipped to friend's place in US and for them to bring back for me. Saved a bomb on shipping. -------------------- |

I decided to try actiontoyshk2614 with another collector from OSW, shipping came up to a bomb in the bill. Now got to clarify total shipping cost :S
Always a nightmare when i buy from ebay Like my Marvel Legends Toad, still not in yet since months ago. |
