It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors. chester15 private msg quote post Address this user
It's going up at well over $1000 per minute. Must be nice to have that kind of sales power. Does it have a maximum number of units? Is there a point that too many are made for it to have significant value?

The postage costs to Australia are horrendous( more than the actual figures ) . need to look into secondary post services I think

It's already been said but thank you for posting this! Had no idea Todd was going to be doing this project. Hopefully some of the extra cash from this will go towards his new Spawn movie.

How do you ask questions to the creator if haven't backed?

McFarlane has confirmed in the FAQ these are shipped from China ( hence why he can't sign the comic book ) so i can't understand why postage is 48USD to Australia .. also worth noting is more expensive to ship to China than USA ??

want to ask the question but don't know how without backing first ? But i can't justify backing with such a high postage price.. chicken or egg ?

I don't think the FAQ section means they are being distributed from China. I believe he is referring to them being manufactured in China, probably sent to the US by container load, as most things are. Then distributed from here.

I know $48 seems like a lot for shipping, but it's $29 within the US. The $29 price seems like about double what it should be.

I'm surprised it's not even more than $48 to ship to Australia, since the minimum to ship from here internationally anywhere, even a small, light package to a neighboring country, is over $30. Something larger, like this toy in its shipping package, close to $40. Using the Todd McFarlane "special shipping rate" of double, you could be at the $80 shipping rate.

its $17 USD for the single figure in USA .. vs $48USD for single figure to Australia .. Looks like most of the rest of the world is $33USD

The 3 pack comes with a shipping price of $77USD to Australia which makes it quite a bit more than US ( though admittedly is better than paying $48 ,3 times over ) ..

This is multiples higher postage than I would have anticipated.

Just want to be able to ask the question, but can't see any way to ask without backing first ?

@Wraith Oops, my mistake. I thought it was $29, but that was for the 3-pack. I'll have to lighten up on Todd.

I guess I'll wait until they allow multiple orders then can order multiple for friends and presumably spread postage cost ..

Just backed the 3-pack. Even without achieving the stretch goals, the figures look like they are worth every penny! I look forward to seeing what the next stretch goal is. They are over 1.2 million dollars! McFarlane is knocking it out of the park with this figure!

All tiers get metal chains instead of plastic now. I am going to get another triple pack for displaying them out of the box. I got a pretty nice size moducase display coming in.

All the tiers also get a second set of hands for the figs and the 3-pack gets all 5 heads. Can’t wait to see what else is upgraded!
