The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

A normal price is anything between $40 and $80 depending on courier / box size.

My last pieces which were direct from China to the UK with Sideshow cost $145 each and that was Deadpool Heatseeker and Prime 1 Ultraman, I can't imagine Ren would have a box as big as either of those.

Thanks! Good to know. The box is huge from unblocking videos, not Super surprised it came up to so much.
They copied XM with the Velcro straps on styrofoam approach for more stability. Box quality seems to be the same as well.

DHL left a card today. They will return on Monday. I'm guessing it could be Ren.
If it is Ren, HMO don't appear to send out email's informing of tracking number, not to mention a parcel is on it's way.
On the DHL card is a Waybill No: ---- £25 ($35)
I'm not sure what that is for, as the shipping was high enough.
If the high cost of shipping and Waybill mean no import tax, then that makes it ok.

Bounties of Bathos – REN ¼ HMO
Arrived today. The crash helmet paint app looks great. Maybe not as beaten-up as the prototype, but a big improvement over the original batch that shipped.

The improved helmet looks much better.  Kudos to HMO for stepping up to replace them.

It should help HMO in the long run.
Ren deserves some sort of award for the most amount of small parts, each painted different colors. Even Ren's hair has highlights, something most companies don't bother with, if the hair is brown.
