MP-06 prices?

Hi all - quick question for people who have bought online before... is it cheaper to order MP-06 from a canadian site (ie kooltoyz) for around $145 with taxes and shipping, or for less from the states with the fear of customs charges?

BBTS will mark your package as GIFT you want but they will not lower the price of the actual product. I have never been charged duties on transformer figures. Tax is unpredictable...I would say I got charged with taxes on about 25% of my purchases (YMMV).

Re: MP-06 prices?

For ordering form the US, if you're worried about duty/taxes (which I always am), use TFSource, they know all about border charges and white-lie on the forms to get it through without charges.

I got my mp06 from them for $95 + $14 shipping.
