Great! Dust would probably wreak hell on a sticky figure. If you're gonna display it out of box, that is.

Sorry I was busy a few days. Sadly shipping from Italy has weird rules. There are many methods and people are confused about it. Also each postal office invents their own rules, lol . For what concerns me I keep using the same postal offices, which allows me to estimate delivery costs accurately. After some discussions I managed to obtain a listing of delivery costs based on weight, but it happened sometimes to pay more for no apparent reasons. However for a whole set of deagostini figures we surely go beyond the 2kg (weight) limit for the method I use usually (raccomandata estera). And this costs 29 euro to USA. There's a chance to split the figures in serveral packages for 29 euro shipping each, but I have no idea how much all the figures weight in total, so neither how many splits are necessary. I can guess that more than 2 splits are necessary, this would make the shipping really expensive. The alternative method is pacco ordinario estero, in which the weight limit is 20 kg, but it may need up to 2 months to reach USA. It may cost more or less 50 euro. Otherwise EMS for a fast delivery, but considered the weight I have not a clear idea of the cost, I could say something around 70 euro... Wow, I really didn't know shipping in Italy was that different from how we work. Thanks for the help, PGV! I think, with all the variables, I'll just let them alone. It is what it is. Qu'est-ce que c'est. C'est la vie.

I had no clue Medicom Goku was that big!
I like a lot of the Movie Collection figures, like Cooler and Meta Cooler, Broly, BD Vegeta, Slug, SS3 Goku, Super Buu and both Android 13's. Then there's others like SS4 Gogeta, Spacesuit Goku, SS Trunk, others, that have sourpuss faces. I don't care about scale much, but I have no clue why they didn't keep them in scale more. SS Gotenks is a kid, but still way too small compared to anyone but BD Vegeta. Ultimately, I like the line, and have most of them, in some edition or another, but I never bothered to buy every single Broly they released, or every Trunks or w/e.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard about them. It really sucks they never got released. The faces aren't great, but it would still be a cool figure, and huge!

I can understand that then. I'll send PGV a PM, to see if he has time to check it out.

What the hell am I thinking. Yeah, I meant that AB Krillin, or it might've been the Irwin re-release. Either way, I probably got ripped off. But I was happy to get a new figure.

Thankyas. I'm not sure if there's a line name or how many there are. But there's also the one with Oozaru Vegeta attempting to grab Goku: i.imgur.com/EbXgcrq.jpg They're made by Banpresto/Ichiban Kuji (Same company or what? Idk) I paid $108. I got Vegeta for $83, so both for less than $200 is great for me.

Thanks guys.
That's weird, aussie. I think some plastics/rubbers will become oily or kind of break down over time. Or maybe due to heat? I have a knife where the rubber handle becomes greasy just sitting there. Never had it happen with a figure though. I really wouldn't know how to clean it safely.

He wants 50 Euros for the figures, which is roughly $66. I offered to pay that and another 50 Euros, so 100 Euros total (~$133 USD). I think that would be enough to cover it. He still said no.
This is what he said
Sounds like he's saying he can't anticipate the cost of shipping. I'm sure they can figure it out online just like we can in the US.
But it's his prerogative. Would be a great opportunity to grab the whole bunch though...

^I feel ya on that. Looking forward to 'em whenever you get around to it! Got these a few days ago. Pan, Trunks, Goten, and Uub are Editions Atlas, and Nova Shenron is DeAgostini.
