I get asked that all the time. I guess I look like a dad who has kids. Not much point for me to get that insurance because by the time the figure is damaged its usually much later and will no longer be available in store to get replacement due to the wave system.

It really bugs me that when you return a defective TF the company just ships you back whatever crappy figure they have on hand of equal value in the warehouse and rarely is it even from the same line or size class.

It was just a Marvel Legends 6" figure haha. Was just surprised as it's never been asked before.

But ya I guess in two years you can trade in for a new one.

What's the price of shipping work out to when it's done as a group buy? I would be interested depending on what the final price would come out to.

Shipping is $11 US for one groove.
It is $11 US for the first $100 of merch insured.
For 2 it will be around $33-$34 after conversion.

so if the group orders 11 then each one only pays $1 US shipping?
