If they come out with another mainly red figure with some gold accents, I'll definitely take one of those. The other figures aren't too bad, but I'd love one that has the more classic looking Iron Man look to it. Also one that's more slender. I've seen some of the other figures and they look...

I do mainly just look at figures I want, not something I can profit off later. I'm not one of those who feels the need to complete a set....like the Avengers for example, I just get the figures ad characters I liked, which mainly are Captain American and Iron Man....and also Loki. I mean if it...

I have recently found an Iron Man Mark VII and Agent Coulson up for sale, with the Iron Man being about $410 with shipping and everything, and Coulson being around $300. If I get both I can save on shipping so it's just under $700 for both figures with shipping and taxes. I am just wondering, is...

I'm more into movie/tv-type collectibles. Some figures in the Enterbay line look cool, like Bruce Lee and Leon. Goku looks spot on, but I'm not really a fan of the movie. The Terminator figures don't look too bad, same with Robocop. Don't think I could ever see myself spending that much on just...

Yeah the only issues I've had with Hot Toys so far have been minor. There was a small scratch on Cap's shield, but I was able to cover it somewhat with marker...will be looking into a better way of covering the scratch once I display him. And Loki's helmet I found very difficult to put on. I...

I am somewhat new to collecting. I have the Hot Toys Captain America: First Avenger and Loki (really glad I got the Avengers Loki, not at all impressed with the Thor: The Dark World version), which were my first ever Hot Toys (Cap being my very first, considering Loki was a PO and I didn't get...

I just recently bought an Avengers cosbaby 6-piece set from Toys2. I had checked ebay before and saw them selling the sets for up to $200, and some more than that, so was ecstatic to see them finally have one in stock with a $90 price tag (believe it was $60 before. Ah well). Well, I logged on...

Well...I just pre-ordered the Loki 1:6 figure from Toys2...and dammit, I saw that they also had the Captain America First Avengers 1:6 figure for $180 (just under $214 with taxes and shipping) and I couldn't resist it. I got the last one too, it's now sold out. Can't believe I just spent nearly...

@eaglerabbit89 I was looking at Toys2, have many people here bought from them? Their website looks pretty bare-bones (https://www.toys2.net) and has some typos (it says the items are available for pre-order Q4 2011...instead of 2012). Unless that's not the right website?? I've looked on the...

Well the figure I want (Loki from Avengers) isn't EX. Also with the points, I see for the Loki figure, I would get $11 in points, but it would also cost me more in the long run due to shipping and duty fees. If I get it from Toys2, the price I was quoted was around $248 with shipping and taxes...

Do you mind me asking, how much was the duty they charged? And how much were your previous transactions? By my calculations, my total would come to around $288, based on the numbers you gave ($220 figure + $25 + $10 + 13% tax). This would be my first figure purchase.

I live in Canada. That's why I might just go with Toys2.net (I believe that's the website) because they're based here, and I won't have to deal with duty fees like I would if I bought from SCC. Has anyone here used them? Their website is pretty barebones, but I want to make sure the website and...

Thanks PopCultKid, I saw your post right after I posted mine. That clears things up, and now I know the figure I want isn't an EX. I don't know what I was thinking...I thought that EX meant that all items sold by SSC were exclusives, and if you bought it at a store it wasn't. lol. So very wrong...

The figure I really would like to get is the 1:6 Loki from Avengers. There are a few others I'm interested in (Captain America, old and new, Iron Man and possibly also Hawkeye and Thor), but the one I'm mainly after is Loki. So it would be better then to get the one from SSC directly? I was...

I'm very new to this whole figure collecting thing. I am interested in buying at least 1 figure, but I have been checking out other threads here, and I keep seeing people using the words "EX" or "exclusive". What exactly does that mean? So if I decide to buy a figure from a local shop, I gather...
