The Vancouver Toy Pool

Would we be paying in advance for a group buy, or when they arrive?

Count me in for protector if we can get a deal from SoA. He should give local collectors a break

Depends on the owner. If I guarantee a certain amount will buy, he might not take a deposit.. But then we would need a rule, that once your in, you can't back out of the deal.

Actually, thinking about it. The Bruticus preorder price was $100, which was the about the same or a tiny bit less than BBTS and TFsource. You saved on shipping, but had to pay taxes, which would still be less then with shipping. So if we don't get a group buy deal, it'll probably be better still to just preorder directly from the store, individually. Then there is the whole shipping date. Usually SOA gets FP stuff in later, after BBTS and TFSource get their stock. With the Bruticus kit, they were the first to get it in this time. So for those that don't want to wait, or take the gamble, there might not be a gurantee if it shows up early, or late.

Anyways, just my thoughts on the matter. I will still inquire. I'll ask about getting a deal if 20 people sign up. That should be plenty.

Well I would be able to put down some sort of deposit if necessary, I just wouldn't be able to afford the full amount right away.

Cool that thanks for thinking of me. It was a mega busy weekend so I did not look at the boards. (not good timing anyway)

Lysist, you're still first and you get the next one that comes up (if you're able to get it).

I added a few new rules to the first post. They are pretty common sense, let me know what you think.
