Yeah, skipped it. Kinda feels weird to miss my first ever SOC release intentionally. I may need a hug.

Ordered from BBTS since it's the only option right now. A bit more expensive but not that much, but USPS/Canada Post may save me a bit of cash.

I'm in Canada so shipping is a bit expensive, around 28$ if I remember right for me.

Probably no tax or duty, as this is mostly the case between USA/Canada

Congrats! I had no intentions of getting this especially pre-order! Curious on your take of this and comparison to other robots. Hoping this right step to other Getter combiners.
i didn't get it, i decided i dont need it, and i already have the GX71 so i also skipped it
tho the existence of getter emperor as a figure and in the SOC line is overwhelming

Never paid a thing for stuff from bbts Are you in the US or Canada? If the latter, then you are considered lucky if you are paying nothing. Been collecting since 2000 and whenever I've gotten anything from BBTS (or any US vendor like Entertainment Earth) and it's routine, I pay duty. Stuff from Japan is more a coinflip.

I have no problem pointing out positives and one thing about this is that at least when displayed on its own it has a very big presence. Some pieces that are smaller you can look and just tell.

Must have been lucky I guess. I think I paid a few times taxes, which is "normal" but never paid duty that I remember. Maybe for express shipping but I rarely use that when from the USA.

I’m Canadian and I find I get taxed more from the US, even if I use cheapest shipping. Stuff from Japan (even EMS) sometimes gets through...a bit random.
Debating this release. I don’t know much about the bot and at first thought it looked too “organic” (kind of like a seafood plate could combine and look menacing haha). But the design is growing on me!

Must have been lucky I guess. I think I paid a few times taxes, which is "normal" but never paid duty that I remember. Hang on...your statement there...Duties is the same as taxes. We're not talking about paying a sales tax when you are at checkout for an item on BBTS, we are talking about when the parcel arrives and you are picking it up and the additional fee you pay...that's duties which is the same as tax. So, if you are paying taxes a few times, then yeah...you've paid duties. You are no different than the rest of us up in Canada.
