"Hello LurkerX. Is it generally cheaper to buy SOC's in Canda vs. the U.S.? I spent about $3,500, U.S. Dollars. "
I don't think so, the prices I've bought them from on average are on par with ebay. I do bargain though, I check ebay first then I go to my regular "watering hole" and I ask for a deal. I usually buy a few pieces in one visit and pay "cash" so they're more inclined to give in so long as its "reasonable".
Wow, that's pretty cool I didn't notice that my accumulated discount right of the purchase was that significant @ about $760CAN I'm sure he made this back from all the other stuff I bought from him.
This is another bullet I can use in my "toy got to have it" debates with the wife

Thinking back I must have spent a small fortune (or atleast a used car ) on my SOC's. That's because of the doubles...well some doubles.

i try not to think about it too! i get depressed! one thing i try to do is to tell my girlfriend ( will be my wife soon!) how much it costs (at least with 80% 90% price accuracy:)) and her opinion about it. she encourages me to buy and only when she doesn´t like the robot she says "i don´t know..." i started late so i must make up for the lost time and hopefuly will slow down in a near future.

We may have to revive the famous "Hiding from the spouse" thread. Especially given the price of the new GX27 Gaiking. Not that we need to share tips or anything.... JWM ps- try this one. "WOW! I didn't even order that. That Hong Kong vendor must have had a computer malfunction and sent me this by mistake." (This goes on the theory that if an excuse is outrageously lame enough she'll either laugh, or believe it because you wouldn't ever try to pull anything that stupid and think you could get away with it.)

Wow, you guys take it to the next level. I usually use the "That? I've had that." or the usual "This cost $20 on eBay, I got a deal." I do everything via money orders...No Paypal to track! ;D ;D

More or less 1200 euros, or 1500$, counting also my Unifive God Phoenix and Metal Material Model Strike Gundam in active and deactive mode.
