Shipping TFs from China??

I might be purchasing a couple figures off of Evilbay that are located in China.What kinds of experiences have you guys had(if any)?And why are things so cheap from there(KO's)?These figures seem to be HasTak,but are way cheap.


And side note what do you think of the Special Edition Prime?


Thanks for any info.

werd.

I've ordered from the same guy a couple times and got all the stuff I ordered. It took about 2 weeks, but otherwise ok. I've gotten a few WST Primes and some seeker jets.

Just want to be sure,you know?Ebay is hit or miss.
His feedback seems ok for the amount he has sold.Just a little far away from home for me.

Re: Shipping TFs from China??

the shipping tends to be fast.

But ya gotta make sure they PROMISE to put those packing pads/styrofoam stuff in the box. I once got a box from there that wasnt filled with padding. oh the disappointment.

and make they PROMISE not to include Communist propaganda pamplets or use local newspaper as padding that is riddled with pinko slogans.

Slogans like "WORKERS have no right to Property - only the STATE DOES".

Wait...that sounds a lot like the Capitalist scheme too: "The STATE must protect Private Property of those pigs that can afford it even if it means suppressing the workers who generate the wealth for the pigs."

No, that's not the guy. His user name is Heerotoys. I think they are KO's, but they are nice.

Re: Shipping TFs from China??

I checked out the seller seller-digital , why is most of his TF's free shipping to Canada? The special editions of classics megatron and prime are $25 and free shipping??? sometimes if it sounds too good to be true, you usually get screwed over. Tread cautiously friend and pay with paypal.


edit, lol. not that guy, that's good.
