Im still going to take it though. I just wish I was there to pick it up because locally they were selling him for $700 picked up member price.
Either way I just had to have this piece.
Sorry if I mislead anyone, was just trying to help.
I was skeptical at the $860 shipped as well.
How much was this at BBTS and secret compass shipped?

BBTS was about $900, depending on exactly where you lived (this would be for US resident)

Crappy retailer though fyi--

And yes I paid in full without the shipping yet.
I didnt like that too but was desperate because no one else has it.

I think they have 2 shipping options standard and fast shipping $290 is the fast shipping. As i checked the shipping policy, company will ship thru their international shipping line then drop to USPS which i doubt not to be the safest way to ship an expensive item. Not against USPS but in terms of handling UPS and FEDX are way much better.

Greattoys is in the Philippines, $42 might be the shipping in the PH... do you honestly think they can ship that big heavy box to the US for $42

Try to contact Shane of SecretCompass. He will help you find from a third party but of course it would be a bit pricey but for sure it's not over 1k. Got secured one from him yesterday. Just my 1 cent..

I can confirm Greattoys shipping to U.S. was quoted to me by an actual person through email @ an estimate of $300. Speedpost was the only delivery option given to me and it's too heavy for registered airmail.
