Thanks; preordered a single. Only Iron Man I have is the Mk 4 and Gantry; kind of getting it just in case. Although I'd PO a DC Mark I instantly if they announced it.

Man, that $4 shipping is so awesome for times like this. Too bad I'm not in the US to take advantage

Was going to order through BBTS to get the cheapest shipping but noticed they have added language that indicates they might add sales tax to the cost at the time of shipping.

what is the total width of 7 armors combined and how do they stay without giving curvy look?

That 1.5" measurement is wrong. I have 7 original bays and I already posted that mine are just over 15" tall










I hate to prevent you from dancing on the graves of people that have the originals but the diecast armors fit fine in them.

Die cast 2 through 6 in original bays

So is this really worth it, the 7 Armor set is $1'000 aus, is the quality there, looks hard to tell from photos cause it looks plastic.

They have started to tax orders. My last order that was set to ship immediately had taxes added. So if your state was on their list yours will probably be too.


Edit: I was charged 8.1% in taxes not sure if that will be the same for everyone or if it’s based on your States Tax Code.

It is based on your state tax code. I live in FL which has always been taxed by them, so I’ve really never been a big BBTS shopper, due to an extra 7% on each purchase. They usually end up being the same or more than Sideshow including shipping.

I’ve started using Timewalker and am thinking about PopCultureZone due to the discounts they offer when preordering.

So I pre ordered a set of seven last night. Used $24.50 in rewards. So now I am paying $83.00 a month for 8 months.

Thanks! I'm not on that list but they are making it pretty clear that they will soon be charging in more states. They seem to be early adopters and almost eager to charge the sales taxes. I'll probably avoid them for now.

It's too late now but my plan was to wait a while and accrue some more points and then order. Sideshow is usually the last to 'sell out' so I'm watching BBTS and timewalker to list this as sold out first, and then burn reward points with sideshow. The gamble could backfire on me if it goes to waitlist. I'm also nervous about sideshow shipping costs, but my understanding was the hulkbuster wasn't that bad for shipping.

Maybe sideshow overcharges for small packages in order to make up for losing money on large packages? Anyway I may still go BBTS route.

Whenever I preorder something from SSC, I don't use all of the reward points that I have. I figure out what payment a month I am comfortable with, then figure out how much in rewards I need to get to that payment.

Is Sideshow also starting to charge sales tax for people outside CA?

I'm pretty sure every online retailer will start to charge tax eventually; if your state has sales tax that is. Kind of sucks, but we had a good run!

based on the promo pics, do you think they are coming out with a diecast mark 1?

It's the only one they haven't done in diecast so I'm hopeful. I only have the Mk 4 and the Mk 1 is probably the only other one I'm really interested in.

My HOA s 55" wide and as Username mentioned it is modified. I cut the bases and backs in my shop and permanently connected them. There are a couple threads in my post history that explain how I did it.

Still on the fence even though these look nice.
Problem is you can't just have 1.
7 costs a lot!

So I had this on pre order, but recent news at my job made me decide to cancel my pre order. Found out at my job that most of the work I do on a daily basis is getting transferred to a different department. So I did the smart thing in cancelling this pre order. And I am trying to sell a few of the new figures I recently got. (Iron Spider, Infinity Wars Captain America Movie Promo, and Concept Captain America. I figure it's better to prepare for the worst, just in case if I am laid off in the next few months.
