Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I decided to pick this up, as i have always wanted a Bruce Lee piece..
..and regret not picking up one of Enterbay's pieces (which now sell for high prices on the after market)

The price of $449.95 is simply too good given current market prices

The bad new, $102.86 TAX is added?

The good news, BONUS GIFT: One (1) imperial guardian lion statue

The good news, $61.39 for international shipping?
..which makes up for the TAX
Sideshow Collectibles would want $100+ to ship this (internationally)

Will do..

During check-out a box popped asking if i wanted to add a DJ Dragon Holographic Sticker to my purchase?
I could not see an easy way to remove the box from the screen, so i thought why not..
..and added a DJ Dragon Holographic Sticker to the order

A percentage of the cost(s) go towards the Bruce Lee Foundation


LOADING: Image(s)

Question is, where to place a 3.25" w x 5" h $2.95 sticker?

hmm..
Maybe the fridge door?

Brice Lee once said Be Water..
I guess most of us are roughly 60% of the way there already

I remember that same offer popped out when I am checking out, but when I chose to add the sticker, it changes the shipping cost.

Bruce statue only, it's flat rate shipping of $10.
But when I added the sticker, the shipping cost is now around $21.

So i removed the sticker and got the "$9.99 flat rate, domestic shipping for Blitzway statue 35826" instead.

And yes, from all merchandise purchased on the store, a percentage of the cost(s) go towards the Bruce Lee Foundation.

I am sure they could have slipped the sticker in with the statue for the same shipping price.
International shipping at $61 is impressive. Someone posted hear that Bruce is on the large side of 1/4 scale. I wonder how large the box is?

Ukshaun, if you sign up for notifications, you get an additional 10% off. Cost me only $405.

I was lucky, shipping is only $45 and I don't have to pay any taxes.

This is more like a 1/3.5 statue. If he stand straight, he will be like 20" tall.

Congrats!
I contacted them about the TAX and they seem to think i will not be hit when another Import Tax when it arrives.
I will wait and see. If i am hit with and Import Tax i might have to bring the issue up and mention the $100 Tax paid already.

They could, but that is not in the option, sadly.

Too late now. You could have email'ed them. Suggest they add an option to their website:
Option to 'slip sticker into box at no price increase on shipping'
