    You're very lucky. Us Canadians get no such breaks, as EE does not offer free shipping outside of the US. I pre-ordered my set from them nearly two months ago and had to pay $40.95 US (which works out to an even higher $45.00 CDN for us) just for basic shipping, with no tracking included (with tracking it would have been $56.95 USD). And the shipping costs from the Figures site also runs around the same price as well.

    Basically, if you reside outside of the US, you have to pay through the nose to have anything shipped to you. It's a miracle we Canucks can afford to buy anything at all.

            I use to go to EE for the majority of my purchases based on that shipping advantage. However with their slow stocking pace of newly released product and the syrupy slow shipping (almost two weeks from notice), I've defaulted to just order through CTVT for all of their stuff. I order and it's usually here in three days. Stellar service.

              If I don't get a shipping notice this week I'm going to cancel and reorder thru CTVT or BBTS. I've had good shipping times from them, just slower to get new stuff than others.

                Their FREE SHIPPING FedEx SMART POST sucks big time. I only go this way for my extra/redundant orders. I always get the first orders straight from CTVT who are second to none in shipping speed. Furthermore they ship via USPS Priority Mail and the items are here in less than three days from shipping notice. Last but not least the cost is super fair $8 one figure, $10 for two figures and $12 for all four...

                Bottomline, what you are really saving is $12 with the FREE SHIPPING from EE. Plus the order takes a lot of time to arrive with their FREE SHIPPING service...

                  You scoff at $12? $12 is $12...

                    That's a free figure every two waves.

                      I'm of the mindset that I'll pay the 12 to get these ASAP. I won't do that for any toy line, but for this one I will. I'd be busting if I didn't have them right now. And FTC is sending robin to me this week (replacing broken figure) and I'm already busting for that!

                          I emailed them to ask if they had any idea when they would arrive, no response thus far.

                            Hey Joe,
                            I got a reply to my email sent yesterday, about an hour ago:

                            Dear Barrett,

                            Thank you for your order and the e-mail. At this time we are simply waiting for Figures Toy Company, the manufacturer, to stock us with the merchandise. Manufacturers are not able to provide exact dates due to all of the variables involved in the overseas production of these items, and their subsequent delivery to us here in the US. They are listing this as an "as soon as possible" item, the most up to date delivery information set for sometime during the month of May. We hope that we will be able to ship the merchandise out as soon as it is available, however this is up to the speed of Figures' delivery process. Please be aware, all delivery timelines are subject to change at the discretion of the manufacturer.

                            This information is available via the website, as well as through your personal online client account.

                            Thank you for giving us the chance to serve your needs. Please let us know if you have any further questions, or if there’s anything else we can do to help you.


                            Sincerely,

                              funny that BBTS is showing them in stock, too.
