How to order from DC Direct?

[SPLIT LIP]

I'm a little new to collecting high-end figures and stuff, so I've never shopped DC Direct before, but I love the stuff they offer (like the Hot Toys figures) and yet there's no place to order them from. They show on their site that there's a comic shop locator. That'd suck if you can only buy through comic shops.

3 ways that I know of:

1) order from your LCS

2) you can order through

Prices are really good, but they are in US prices. So it's a gamble depending on shipping and conversion. I bought the Hot Toys Tumbler, Batpod and Two-Face for $750. Pretty sweet deal considering my LCS was selling the tumbler for $599.99

3) You could pretend you are a LCS and order yourself, but you would have to order through diamond and I believe they have a minimum amount you must order from them (i.e. $1000/month)

You can't pretend to be a a comic store, you need to register an account.

Their selection is pretty limited. (read: very) I didn't see any of the stuff you said you ordered, though.

that b/c they list the stuff that you would find in the monthly Previews. Therefore if you wanted the tumbler, you would have had to seen the listing back in October of 2008.

So for future reference, you should keep track of what DCD is releasing, and check out DCBS.

So really, it doesn't help me at all. Well, thanks for trying.

well it depends what your looking for, you can always try to back order stuff through your LCS, or even DCBS if you asked...
