Hey guys... Have any of you ordered from this site: shop.toyntoys.com? Our beloved SOC's seem really inexpensive here. Example: Soul of Chogokin GX-04s is only $167.99. Granted, it does say that you have to be a member. I am assuming that you have to be a vendor to purchase from this site. If this is the case... Now I know why our specialty stores sell them quite high--they aren't paying that inexpensively for the SOC's. But hey, I could be totally wrong with this assessment.

No, you don't have to be a vendor to purchase from that site, just registered as a member and you can start spending your hard worked money but shipping is from oversea so it will be expensive on shipping charge.

I've purchased from them before. All in all it's a fair deal, but it does take a while to get to you.

167.99=168+ shipping = 190.
It is not as cheap as you think since their store is in singapore, and you have to understand the chance that boxes will get damaged during shiping is much higher than the US stores.
My two cents.

Yup Andrew, shipping from oversea is a pain in the butt. Just think about it, what if you need to exchange the defected item ? You have to pay over $30 just to have it send it back to the seller and you might have to pay for the return postage...
I rather order my toys from domestic/USA stores/on-line stores than oversea if I can get what I want here in the states.

I agree. You don't save a huge amount from HK once you figure the shipping. There is also a risk of loss, damage, and difficult customer service. If I can buy domestic I do. So I spend ten bucks more getting an item from BBTS, or Image Anime. It's worth it knowing the piece is going to be in perfect condition and that it will get here the exact day they tell you it will get here. Every time I order from HK I end up holding my breath until the thing is safely on the shelf. JWM

Hi demizer, yes can you tell us who is the seller? Remember also this is a bad period for buy/sell cause of the holidays, maybe he's gone for an holiday week
