 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
Well, This isn't Lulu. With the gallery setting of these releases there wasn't much of a mark up at all. At first I was shocked at the shipping. If you ordered some exclusives you should be happy that you were able to get any at all. The shipping isn't that bad. I paid $15.00 just to have MISHKA send me a M.U.S.C.L.E. keychain. That was $5. more than the keychain cost. I am just happy to support TAG and the artists.

I grew up seeing commercials with fine print stating "prices slightly higher in Manhattan". I am sure LA is the same. Your Infested Monster #69 is not coming in a padded envelope.

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
Mishka's shipping is ridiclous as well. I agree..I No problem supporting a gallery on the show pieces with the show prices..... Shipping should be actual or close to.... Just sayin

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
I hear you, but if you are arguing with yourself about paying $70 for a toy you would gladly pay $60 for... the price difference is negligible, all things considered. these are event pieces and the secondary market is not going to be as nice as retail +$10 should you miss the opportunity. that being said, I will not be getting a Monster Babby for Valentine's day =P

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
And I wasn't meaning "YOU" talking down to anyone. I meant we "ALL" should be glad that we could score any show pieces.

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
everyone should be happy to only have to pay a couple dollars more. i live in germany so my shipping is always high. and on top of that customs always screws me.

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
I'm not the biggest Grody Shogun fan, the sculpts are a bit rough for me, but goddamn. Those Harumphs have really grown on me. A+ work.

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
upon closer inspection jason brings up a good point that we are talking about show pieces and are lucky to get a crack at them so the extra shipping can be ignored...

I'm not disputing that. I'm saying if you're gonna jack on shipping give a reason. It's considerate. I'm sure TAG's legit, not calling them out either, just saying I hate high shipping w/o cause or reason. I'm passing on them because I don't have the money. But it does sting to go from $50 to $67, 1 off or not. I think it's a valid complaint. Is it $17 a toy or $17 an order? If I was way into one I'd see if any other people near me would be down for a bulk order. But I'm not, gotta pass.

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
 Fun night at TAG! Great time hanging out with the usual skullbrainers and meeting some great new ones!  Shopping with Amy.  Basket of goodies!  Skyping with Luke and Ricky from Japan. Can't wait to see the Fruity Peebles with watermelon teardrop seeds and the Richard Simmons short shorts custom Grodys in person!

 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff
Great paint app by koji, prepare for the $20 ems shipping from Japan. I think in the past he has let people combine shipping so you all might want to do that.
