that's a good deal. sounds almost too good. so you've actually ordered from them? I got GX-35 from Anime Wild yesterday, everything is in pristine condition. Never ordered from statuetoys.com before, but I did some googling and they seemed legit, so I preordered with them.

140 USD for Ideon is very good price. I pay it 130 from a friend that live in Hong kong but a lot of famous web site sell it for 160-170 USD

Very good prices indeed. Now if they use Diamond Distributing, then that's a different story.

i too placed an order for Ideon at statustoy. i hope they can deliever. one thing i don't like about statustoy is that they took my paypal money the min i submitted the order. i just don't feel comfortable paying for preorder before hand. i like how bigbadtoystore only charges you when they are sure that they are able to fill your order. well hope for the best. Once meney is sent its hard to ask and get refund form sellers.

That's why I used credit card, there's always cc protection layer to fall back to in case things go wrong.

Just payed for Ideon Today from the guy who runs Satute Toys, Can't Wait till Release!!!!!! What i did was meet up with the guy who runs Staute Toys today since we live in the same city, a friendly guy and He sold it to me for 140 even for me and when he gets it, he'll call me and meet up and he'll have the Ideon for me. That saves shipping big time.

so are we getting overcharged for everything? other sites like hobbylink sell it for $180 + shipping. and other HK based sellers overcharge for shipping what's really the correct price of the SOC line? i've looked at the bandai site, and its high as well www.tamashii.jp/sot/main.html

Most of the prices we are paying is for the import costs. SOCs are going well below the retail price in Hong Kong/Singapore. The prices on Bandai's site are just the RECOMMENDED yen price, as dictated by Japanese law.
And HK based sellers know US/UK collectors are willing to pay more for SOCs, hence the overpriced shipping.
