big ole box from BBTS...Vehicon General, the two Not Stunticons...and GREEN GIANT baby!

Eh, I liked Hercules better than Green Giant (just sold my Green Giant).
How are the FP Stunticons? I'm still waiting for Captured Prey to get theirs all shipped out.

I got this twice on my birthday one year, one from my uncle and another from my best friend

Keep an eye on my site ;) will post opinion there...but fans project does incredible work

So I managed to snag another SIC CycloneCyclone and JokerJoker from Mandarake for 6000 yen. Cost me $104 shipped all said and done. Pffft I know the $11 doesn't make a huge differenence, but between that and missing out on that 3000y HeatMetal and LunaTrigger, this is a bittersweet victory. It's funny, because before I found out what shipping was I had looked at a HM/LT set on ebay that was $91 shipped and I thought "Yeah I'm not paying that for an SIC." If only I'd known.

Basically I ended up paying more for the SIC set I wanted less than the other that I passed on thinking it was too expensive. I'm a moron. A moron who know has to wait even longer before he can afford the set he really wanted. :(

Don't worry. Mandarake shipping really does creep up on you.
Like when I almost bought the complete Souchaku Henshin Den-O set from Mandarake for 4000 yen only to find shipping was going to also be 4000 yen.
I cancelled in a heart beat, but that experience told me that, while Mandarake does have nice deals, it's negligible when shipping ruins it.

At least Mandarake is fast shipping, unlike BBTS which slams me with nearly $50 shipping and takes three weeks.

I'm always hesitant with shopping from BBTS. They're so expensive, having seemingly arbitrary price hikes on just about everything, so I don't buy often enough to experience anything like that ._.

I used to love BBTS, but I just can't take the price hikes and shipping nonsense. It's not like I'm in Greenland. How does it take so long and cost so much to send something from US to Canada? Especially when Amazon is half the price and twice as fast?

HLJ and Mandarake are the exact opposite. HLJ always has fair shipping and is super quick. Mandarake, while sometimes expensive, gives you you money's worth with equally fast shipping.

They just came in! Along with SHF Shinken Gold. :D
