I'm only just starting to weigh the pros/cons between BBTS and Pulse with the shipping changes. Trying to figure out the following scenario: you place an order that qualifies for free shipping at Pulse, but they start mailing it out in pieces as it's ready. Do you get charged shipping on each batch then, or not at all?
None at all. Even if you?re paying a shipping fee with Pulse, you only pay that once per complete order, even if that complete order ships in multiple shipments.

I?ve only avoided customs on items around $50-60 or less. Anything around 100 or more will almost always get dinged. But it?s not unheard of to get customs charges on items around 50. You?re only really safe if it?s 20 or less since that?s the official value allowed with zero duties.

The 60th figure prices have been corrected now anyhow.

Pulse charges the tax and shipping (if any) up front, and ships when items become available. No duties or customs fees from Pulse (but no avoiding taxes, either).

Yeah BBTS isn't worth it anymore, but I guess you could try your luck now since the holiday craziness is the best time to avoid customs/duties since they are so swamped a lot of things get passed along. (They just can't reasonably check every item)


My last order from BBTS was cleared without getting dinged, but that was about 2 years ago and the total was just under $60US. So it really is a crap shoot otherwise.


Pulse with free shipping is probably my go to now for US orders since they charge you the taxes up front. That means when it shows up I don't have to worry about a surprise hit to the wallet.


As for today's reveals.......I LOVE THEM ALL!!! Great reveals one and all. But c'mon Hasbro I thought you were going to slow things down in 2024? I'm already behind on Classified with the @#$% tonne amount of product you released this year. I was hoping for a breather going into 2024.



What a terrible problem to have right?


Oh and I kind of want that paint error Techno-Viper Lenny showed off. Give it to us as an exclusive variant!!

Sweet. Thanks for the links.

Now hopefully Amazon.ca posts their listings soon. Since GameStop upped their free shipping limit, I‘ve been leaning more towards Amazon these days.

Thanks for the links. Funny how they don't show up on their GI Joe page.

Yes thanks Shatterstar!

They show up if you search for "G.I. Joe" with the dots. Otherwise they don't. It's stupid.

I'm kinda curious if they'll honour Edge pre-order prices with the changes coming to the Edge program.

I Pre-ordered a few and they better honor edge pricing on them as long as order was placed before the changes.
