With those prices I understand why you guys prefer to buy direct...it's cheaper.......

Yeah we get taxed. We also have an import tax for anything over $1k.

I would like to call it a scam, however it's not as though it's one producer, one shipping company or one country, it's just expensive to get anything to Australia from just about anywhere.

It would be great if someone shipped direct out of China/Japan, instead of sending it from there, to the US, then back again to Australia.

Popculcha looks ugly on paper, however they take into account shipping, import tax and currency conversion. They're normally over but on occasion not by much (at least in terms of statues).

I was told that this package was way too big for USPS.

my shipping estimates were:
UPS: $314.80
FedEx: $355.12
DHL: $544.12


Damn... I really wanted this figure and I've been waiting for it for so long, but I just don't have the funds right now for this.

Can the size of the package not be reduced?

Is the thing coming in one whole? or the the base and fence separate in box. If it's separate it can't to large?

They said that the figure comes in 3 pieces. 1 for the T-Rex, 1 for the fences, and 1 for the base.

Shipping might be significantly cheaper if the Rex was sent separately, however, the big problem here is that rexy herself is massive.

For those who are interested, sometimes shipping companies forgo the actual weight of the package if it's too big. They will measure the weight in addition to the size, they call it dimensional weight or volumetric weight. In the case of this figure, they will definitely be using the volumetric weight.

We wanted Rexy big and now we got her big and now we shall pay for it.. literally!

I just hope the Chronical guys can find a cheaper alternative. Really don't want to miss out on this, it's the grail!

But they have the bust listed for $1300 AUD so even if they have the break out Rex it'll still be one of the higher prices but I would much rather order from Chronical direct if I can.

If Chronicle were selling the bust for US$750 and Popcultcha are selling it for AU$1300, and the Breakout rex is being sold by Chronicle for US$500-$550... hopefully she should be around AU$1000 at PC. Which is still more reasonable than US$500+330.

Fingers crossed Popcultcha carry it. They usually respond pretty quickly to enquiries about potential stock. I'll message them... once Chronicle put it up for pre-order so I can reference it.

There are no indentions in the base when she first steps through the fence. Where would the puddles go in scale?

No wet dinosaur, in scale it would just be glossy, art is a fine balance. The Bronze logo is more tasteful and less like a toy.

agreed.
