Sweet! So we get a special member-like discount? They just became one of my favorite online stores! :)

I was just thinking, is it possible that they charge a bit more so that they cover part of the shipping fee? Then there wouldn't be a special deal with shipping, it just looks that way. haha!

Pops in store here are $15 as well. Some places $20. It's just the recommended retail cost in AU. They must have a deal with the shipping company because it normally would cost $18 to ship one Pop from AU to US.

Yea, it doesn't look good for finding Boo down under. They sent me two replies.

It looks like the only Disney ones not on the IKON site are Boo and George.

Mine came out to about 40 with the discount and shipping. Meh. I think I will just wait for the 9 inch Sulley. I wonder if these will have bases or not?

Odd that they don't have Boo... wonder why? Oh well, at least they have Mike and Sulley!

I'm definitely going to get a 9 inch Sulley!!!! I hope I can some how.. and that the shipping won't kill me. With shipping it'll probably still be cheaper to get overseas than if they have it here because of how much they put prices up. I want to get the Batman Invader, but it's $60 in Aust!

it's probably just related to timing... when the monsters license was pulled.

like, when funko learned that they had to stop producing monsters pops, they didn't have time to stop mike/sulley for international markets, but were able to make sure that boo and george sanderson weren't made anymore.

I asked on facebook why they started charging more:

Hi, thank you for your question. Our shipping costs were previously priced incorrectly for shipments to the USA and due to all the extra orders coming in from overseas it has come to our attention that it has actually been costing us money to send items. We have adjusted all products accordingly now; so all pricing is now at the correct rates. Ben @ Popcultcha

That explains it! I knew it didn't make sense sending so cheap. Shipping form here really sucks. Even within AU isn't all that great.



Also, man I want that Batman Invader. How much is he set to cost over there? I'm hoping it'll be cheaper to get him shipped from the US than pay $60 here for him.

Yeah, I'd just buy him from Popcultcha for that. $59.99 + $6 shipping. Or if I add a few more things free shipping. Entertainment Earth have him for $35.99... they're international shipping is way too expensive. So I just hope one shows up on eBay for $30ish with shipping cheaper than $30!

Funko is no longer producing these items, however this company out in Australia still has stock. www.popcultcha.com.au/ A large amount of people bought Loki from that site and have begun to receive them. Now the site is saying that the Loki's are on back order till July. The company is offering Mike & Sulley in June, a person can pre-order those.

brian mentioned once before that international markets were, basically, further behind in getting their country's own shipments of pops. so australia is just now catching up on some that have been hard to find in the states.

That's what I did for Loki and Thor. I'm trusting that they follow through. [-o<

But I'm sure they will.

Did you get an Order Process e-mail from them as well as a shipped e-mail? Because I ordered Thor as well, but not sure if they shipped it or not. Got confirmation that they took my money, but no confirmation on shipping. :-k

Then there's this when I view my order on the site.

"Hi Chris,
Thanks for your pre order and payment. We have put this on pre order for you, we will ship it out as soon as it arrives.
If you would like to review the product on our site, simply log in and go to that product page and click "review" to leave your comments and feedback.
Thanks for shopping with us here at Popcultcha, let us know if we can help you with anything further.
Cheers
Poppie @ Popcultcha"


I hope I didn't get the short straw here!

Did you order Thor separate or with something else? Thor is in stock now, not a pre order. Normally you get a confirmation email, then a shipping email the next day or so. Mine says pending.

Once it has shipped it will say partial order shipped... that's due to the preorder. It usually takes them a couple of days. You should get an email off them soon... and then I think one from Australia Post? Or was that only in AU?

Around the same time I placed two separate orders. I placed an order for Loki and then paid for it. Then about 10 minutes later I placed an oder for Thor, and paid for it.

It's been a few days now. I've gotten no shipping e-mail. Guess I'm gonna have to get at them on Facebook then.
