I see buying bootlegs, when there is legitimate product available at a totally reasonable cost, as denying NECA the opportunity to bring us equally cool stuff in the future. To speak nothing of the slap in the face.

Randy Falk is quite open about his disdain for bootleggers.

Though to be fair, these "boot-legged" 1:4 scale are yet to materialse.

Totally agree with you. If it wasn't for NECA great lines susch as TMNT would be dead and gone, they earned fans respect.

My only problem with ordering direct from NECA is that you often get figures in very badly crushed boxes. This may not be the case if you order two figures and they ship them in the box that holds two figures (which is a thick, sturdy box) but when I have ordered individuals from NECA, some crushing has always been the case. My best experience has been with Calendars.

This is NOT true. My customers got theirs before the NECA eBay buyers when Raph/Don sold. NECA prints labels right away but doesnt ship till a few days later. And mine are already in route.

Mine have shipped to me the other day if that helps you any. I should start shipping early next week I would think.

Should buy from me- always ship mint

Now even the eBay NECA store is NOT an option for us who live in EU... that's why we hope in the chinese sellers; it is not because we want to screw NECA, but because it could be our only chance to get them (at a reasonable price)!

No, don't get it the wrong way. NECA is talking about importing them, in example for european market distribution, and that's what they don't do.

What you are most probably referring to is if they ship to EU and yes they do, see one of my posts above plus the location shown under my avatar picture.

Scroll back in this discussion and you will see how I had customers receiving items before NECA shipped. Well see how they go this time. Do you have tracking numbers yet? Have they showed up at the destination or are they just "label printed"? Maybe they are catching up-they should be faster since its their own stuff, but they werent for Don or Raph

I am REALLY curious to know what they are charging for international shipping on these, and wondering if I could beat it since I spend so much time hunting down discount postage online.

I can ship one of these for $67 to Austria but I get postage WAY below actual cost so it wouldn't actually cost me $67. I'm guessing they worked out a bulk deal with one of the shipping companies and it is only costing them $20 to $30 per unit to ship these.

If it's eBay it's probably the eBay global shipping program. Which means Neca ships it to the eBay distribution center in the US, then eBay ships to the foreign country. That means Neca is not shipping internationally, its eBay. Smart business.
