Where is the best place and price to buy them in the US ?
Is the Limited edition only available through their website?

Arggh.. need to get them now

Big Bad Toy Store has all three still available, but not the exclusives. They’re $249 each, I think the same as Sideshow, but with cheaper flat rate $4 shipping. The other advantage to me is that as a California resident, there’s no state tax for me at BBTS.
 
Wow, £38 for the USA. I think we are closer to the UK too.

Man, I thought I was all paid up, thinking that somehow shipping was built-in for the non-UK orders! This is the first time I ever ordered anything directly from BCS...and it will be my last, as it's been such a convoluted process. It's so frickin confusing, I mean, whenever you pre-order something at Sideshow, you already know how much shipping will cost. As I said before, had I known that the Goldfinger set would be available at US retailers, I would have gotten it from Big Bad Toy Store with much, much less hassle.
 
They always charge shipping separate when it ships out. It's not cheap, but you generally get it in one day. At least here in Illinois I do.
 
One thing to consider when weighing ordering from BCS and getting the exclusives and ordering from another retailer (I had to do this with the DW figures... and usually I opted for BCS)...

If you're outside the UK, then you pay the non-Vat price. For Odd Job, for instance, that's £174.99 which is currently $231.69. Add in, let's say, $50 for the BCS one-day shipping to the US and that's $281.69 to get it to your door.

So, you're basically paying about $30 extra for the exclusive accessories and getting the figure faster.
Right now, Sideshow is offering Free Shipping which is nice. But when they aren't (or you're ordering from a different retailer) than you're paying $10-$15+ extra for shipping, and the difference is more like $15 for the exclusive accessories.

I don't know if that helps put it in perspective, but that's the basic math I have used in the past.

I purchased all three together for an additional discount. That discount was eaten up in shipping fees and then some. But I figured that each figure will cost me $222 shipped and with the Exclusives... which is better than BBTS's price of $249.99 plus $4 shipped without exclusives.
 
I didn't get any shipping fee notice yet from BC :(
Do I need to contact them?All of you have paid already?

I thought we always knew shipping would be added once they were ready to ship. Anyway, like WG, I got in early for a great deal direct from BCS for the exclusives so the $52 (I originally guessed around $45) shipping was pretty much baked in for me.

If these turn out better than expected re: tailoring, paint apps, etc. it will be well worth it for me. GF is my all time fav Bond film.
 
Is everyone getting all three ?

Is it cheaper to buy directly from BC with the extra shipping or buy from BBT or SS if you are in the U S?
Does BC still have the first edition ?

I just ordered from BBT and now I am debating if I should go the BC route ?
