BigBadToyStore (BBTS) (America) items

Yeah but they all turn up next month sadly

Sadly???

I'm going to give BBTS a chance this time round. I should get the figures sooner than TLTC and so far BBTS hasn't said they are going to collect GST.

Now I just need to decide where I'm getting Predaking and Firestar from and that will be POTP completed for me.

Sadly because of the new import laws I mean. What are the chances of BBTS not doing it do ya reckon?

Oh, and to get the last shipment of POTP figure cost $60US Delta in case you still needed to know

Honestly from the tone of their response to me when I enquired with them was they were not taking the GST law seriously. For every site like Amazon or HLJ that takes it seriously there's going to be dozens that say FU to the law. If they maintain their tone I think BBTS will not be implementing any changes and despite the government's threats to block sites that don't collect GST it will actually be unenforceable just like the blocking of The Pirate Bay.

BBTS just sent out a warning letter to ship your loot now, or be charged gst

Really, well that sucks. Mind posting the quote of what they said and I'll update my list of retailers charging GST, blocking, etc.

Now the question for the mathematicians amongst us. BBTS has always remained feasible here due to that even with postage and currency conversion it cost equal or slightly less to get entire waves through them than buying locally. Is that about to be destroyed?

The cheapest option is TLTC for sure. BBTS is similar to TLTC on Hasbro products before shipping and without GST. I have not used BBTS in years so I'm not sure what shipping will be like compared to TLTC for the same amount of items, but it will be higher since TLTC charges a flat $15 per order.

BBTS has always been a bad choice for Takara products because you are paying import into America. HLJ, NY, etc have always been the better choice for Takara.

My quick back of the napkin math says before shipping BBTS will be similar to slightly higher than TLTC on Hasbro products going forward.

But keep in mind not everyone is confident in TLTC. Some people think they are the next PC. That said I use TLTC for much of my TF shopping. They have been in business for over a decade, they just need to communicate better as to shipping delays. I've always gotten what I ordered from them.

But BBTS has impeccable customer service on the other hand so it might be worth paying that little extra to use them.

I'm trying BBTS for the first time in years with my POTP Wave 3 preorders. I'll see how things go.
