I was trolling through the options kits section of HLJ (looking for hands/manipulators), and I found Kotobukiya's
Poly Units, which would be awesome for adding joints to 'Formers various and sundry...
EXCEPT.Their shipping costs are outrageous! I picked out 14 items (a couple weapons kits caught my eye too
). I had to do some quick math to figure out EMS shipping (Seriously? C'mon guys, it's 2010, get your damn checkout system to calculate shipping!) and realized it would set me back triple what the parts cost! FedEx would be
eight times.
SAL would only be double, but that takes waaaaaaay too long, and can't be tracked. No thanks.
I haven't bought from them for five or maybe eight years, but I don't remember their prices being that bad. Is it the economy, are they being greedy, or am I just out of touch?
