Should I have gone with a domestic (US) distributor/retailer?

This is only my 2nd premium statue purchase ever. I'm now going through that phase of second guessing my pre-order location (where I placed the pre-order...the pre-order itself I have no doubts about).

For those in the US that are getting the full dio, which route did you choose?

I went with Secret Compass when they had it with shipping included, but that is no longer offered. Still probably cheaper for US based, but probably not enough to offset your lost NRD.

Ah, I've seen them mentioned once or twice, I'll have to keep them in mind now.

I've only just recently learned about the points system from Prime 1. For the full dio I earned roughly $280 worth of points. Which would then give me at the very lease psychological motivation to place my next order with them, without knowing the shipping before hand.

I am unfortunately well aware. I have probably 20 or so P1 orders from him and seems to be dead last getting anything.

SC also has a reward point program now.

I ordered the Kong statue from Big Bad Toy Store last week and received my shipping notification today! I didn't think it would get here before my Gigantic Godzilla.

Good to know US retailers are getting them.

I actually unboxed my Kong a while back and didn't get a chance to post pics here. This came out pretty good in my opinion, though I can see how it is considered to be a little monochromatic by some. It probably looks its best as part of the diorama when all the lights are on.

The big shock was that the extra heads and hand are included with the Kong only statue. The ads only mention the extra parts for Kong as being included with the whole diorama. The ads also imply that Kong's axe lights up. Unfortunately it does not. I was a little irked at that as it was a huge part of the axe when he used it.
