I know how you feel BH, it would be just about the same converting it to AUD too. Would be a pain even with sending it to over here.....

Being "foreign" and with the drastic amounts we pay in freight almost kills this for a lot of collectors.....just sucks bigtime alright...

Major league sucks for sure!!

I've been collecting the mini sabers from the start, got them all so far except for the latest Yoda. Seems a tricky one to track down. Anyone out there spotted one yet?

I'm pretty sick at probably missing out on the Membership Maul Saber, but no doubt ebay and a wheelbarrow full of cash will sort that out :banghead: :toed: :censored:

Indeed, it was seen....then viewed....drooled over....coveted...

Even tried to buy it - they weren't selling! Only by joining the club could it be obtained. Sadly they will only ship Fed-Ex outside the USA.

This would sound good, I hear you all cry. Alas, not so. Fed-Ex deliver your item, then a couple of weeks later send an invoice for customs charges with a $15-$20 ADMIN fee to Fed-Ex on top. I'm all for paying customs duty, this is right and proper, but an unmentioned surprise of an Admin fee just ain't right, so I refuse to have anything to do with Fed-Ex.

They claim the admin fee is justified to cover the time they spend paying the customs duty up front.

Sadly they do NOT tell people about this admin fee (or the amount of the customs duty) at delivery time, but instead wait until weeks later to spring the surprise. I'm not sure how legal this practise is, but its certainly not fair. People should be told about additional costs at time of delivery at the very least.

Okay, I'm gonna say this really loudly so everyone hears it :-

I WANT ONE OF THESE

Is anyone going to Comic Con who could maybe pick me one up?? Pretty please?
I've managed to get all the sabers so far, sometimes paying far too much for them on scambay. I've even bitten the bullet and ordered the Maul through MR. Yes, I know I've grumbled about Fed Ex in the past, but I'm willing to take the hit one time.

This saber looks awesome and its a MUST have. Any kindly souls out there? Send me a PM please if you can help.

Thanks.
