How much are your preorders costing you?

[Rogue]

How much, total including shipping, are you paying for all the new Anyas and Taras coming out next? Check out my reply in this thread (about four replies down) in the Buffy & Angel Figures section to see my thoughts on paying multiple shipping costs because of "exclusives..."

I guess it would help more to see the costs of shipping for those who are only ordering one of each (and every one) of the figures. But anyone who wants to reply, please do so Just put down the figures, how many & how much, and shipping. Gonna do me an ex-perry-ment.

im not pre ordering I'm just gonna go into my local Forbidden Planet and hope for the best.

I'm not pre-ordering any of the exclusive figures from DST exclusive holders. I will not incur price + markup + separate shipping cost just to get each figure.

I would buy every Buffy figure that DST produces, but the way exclusives are offered now dampens my enthusiam for collecting. This is a problem since nearly half or more of each wave of figures are exclusives!

[kakistos]

I haven't pre-ordered yet because I'm still not sure I even want all of the figures. Regular Anya and Regular Tara are well done, but still kind of meh, especially Anya since she's in a non-episode outfit; if the final sculpt for Wedding Anya doesn't improve a lot, I'm definitely not getting her; and I'm not particulary thrilled by the Tara part of the 2 Pack (plus, do I really need another Willow?).

I still think they're well done for the most part, but I don't know if I want to spend all that money to get all of them.

[alcazarzgirl]

I have ordered alot and spent ALOT..I ordered a case of Anya & Tara's for 100$, from Time & Space I ordered anya & Tara (I think that was about 25$) and I ordered 2 of all the exclusives, 2 of the will & tara set, and sideshow Faith, Willow & the Master for 312$..I think that is it..I hope so. Alot of times I forget what I order and dont find out untill I get a surprise in the mail.

[abcfan]

whoa big spender!

[Slayer]

I have preordered the following so far....
As I'm in the UK I'm getting Anyanka etc. when forbiddenplanetsore.com have it up. Plus I just ordered the Willow Spellbook set from them so hopefully it'll be here soon. Anyways....

Wedding Anya - £12.99+2.00 shipping = £14.99

----------------------------------------------------------

Tara = £12.99
Anya =£12.99
Bunny Anya = I got it when it was £12.99

Total with shipping: £43.97


So with both 2 orders so far total w/shipping is:

£58.96 I think...
and I still have to order Anyanka,OMWF Anya,Chase Tara and Together Forever Willow and Tara 2 pack!

[TruBuffyFan]

I have no idea how much Ive spent, but I am pretty sure its next to an arm and a leg! It would be so nice to order from just one place, but everything is available at different times, and at different places... I know the
DST store should have them eventually. But I do not want to risk missing anything... The rare ones sell out so fast (WWW and The Book) If I am away for one day, I could miss out! If I did not have to pay the outragous shipping to my home, it would all be okay. But its 5.95 at one store, 8.95 at another... To order all the figs, you pay shipping for each individual one!

[buffyswatcher]

Too much!

[ScoobyGanger]

I haven't pre-ordered any of the exclusives YET.

I'm still debating whether if I'll wait too see them popup in the DST store, or buy them on eBay.

[Slayer]

I'm trying to order all the stuff from forbiddenplanetore.com....I hope they have Anyanka,Chase Tara and OMWF Tara up soon...

[cosmicspidey]

Bunny Anya: $15 plus tax at comic shop (no shipping! woo!)
Chase Tara: Free from T&ST (woo!)
OMWF Anya: I don't really know, probably like $20-25 with shipping
Anyanka: $22.94 apparaently, when I get around to it

That's all I'm getting. So that's like $60 for four figs. Not bad.

Action Figure Xpress:

Total=35.93

Grand Total=173.64

Poor poor credit card. It didn't stand a chance. I still have to get OMWF Anya. I'm not sure why I got two Anyanka figures, it was probably so I have one to open so I can give the troll hammmer to Buffy. I will probably end up getting another Bunny Anya at some point as well as Two OMWF Anyas so once all is said and done it will be up over $200. I'd hate to see the aftermath if they ever release a new line with Buffy in it.

hey that made me laugh! yea I guess I did go alittle crazy this time. but the more figures I buy the more it helps keep the lines coming right??

[urbandruid]

It can't hurt. And I'm glad somebody can afford to do it, 'cause I sure can't!

[alcazarzgirl]

luckily where I order my figures my guy takes payments so that way I am not totally screwed when they come out and I get charged out the a*s so it doesnt seem like I have spent what I did.

[kakistos]

Finally put in some preorders for a few figures at Time and Space Toys:

$15.99 - Anyanka
$14.99 - Bunny Anya
$25.99 - Regular Anya and Tara Set
$56.87 - Subtotal
$11.95 - Shipping
$68.92 - Total

I'm assuming the shipping cost will change, as they said they would ship out the figures as they come in. I still need to order OWMF Anya and Chase Tara. I'm still not sure if I want to get Wedding Anya or the Willow/Tara pack.

My order from Cinequest is:

Bunny Anya = $15.00
Hell's Bells Anya = $15.95
Hush Tara = 26.99
Willow & Tara 2-Pack = 29.99
Shipping = $7.25

Now I know we all have different amounts of figures in our orders, but why is the shipping so radically different? Did some of you order other things from Cinequest that isn't listed? Could it be the distance it's travelling (I thought it was calculated by weight not distance)? It just looked a little odd to me that the numbers were all over the place.
