Re: Hot Toys -MMS496- Episode II AOTC Count Dooku Collectible Figure
Well, with tax and all things being equal, then I would go with who gets me my package the fastest. If BBTS has a large order which gets fulfilled later -- often 3 months later -- that's something I can't wait on, especially with the near 2-year wait as it is on most figures these days. BBTS also never offers coupons or discounts. In their plus column, they do box things nicely... and at one time they had fantastic customer service for years. But my last two experiences were difficult, which contributed to my leaving.
For me, in CA, once tax is taken from everyone, I will likely return to Sideshow since its a one-day wait for me, unless the other retailers I'm testing continue to offer discounts that tempt me to wait for "the 2nd batch".
