Got my 'Processing' e-mail this morning - so excited to see this one in person!

Then I saw the Shipping charge to Canada...$40.00!! It had better be shipped in the ark of the covenant or something for that price...

God damn! Did they not tell you that before you ordered it?

Postby **Pop Jester** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 11:20 am

Same here got notification of shipping. My shipping was 8.99, I still think that's too much for shipping within the U.S.

Postby **frankusho** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 11:24 am

Got my notification as well. Shipping was $8.99.

$40 for a hop, skip, and a jump? That's insane.

It was in the ark you couldn't open it! Mine shipped 2 for $8.99, I saved $2.50 somehow.

Ooh! Was just able to order this. Thanks for the heads up!

Heh, nope - they said shipping charges would be updated once it was ready so I was just keeping my fingers crossed for a good price. Oh well, still happy to be getting one!

Haha, good point! But I'd still be cool with the 1/1 "Ark Box" Edition. :P

It is a pretty sweet piece. Hopefully it arrives in good condition and in good time for that price!

I got my shipping notice as well. I can't wait for this to arrive!

Wasn't a huge fan of that shipping guessing game, but wound up being $8.99 to ship to Philly which isn't great but not horrible. It better come undamaged!

Didnt know this was out there, thanks for the headsup! Was able to order one, and shipping to Kansas was 9.99. I also saw the long sleeve shirt with Red Son logo on it so I ordered that too!

Postby **arte622** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 3:01 pm

i can't wait to get mine!

Postby **wardengorri** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 3:13 pm

8.99 is quite a bit for shipping, but oh well still excited another Supes is on the way!

Postby **Jezter** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 4:22 pm

Gonna hold out and hope it shows up at HT or B&N, I don't do preorders for this reason, so hopefully I'll be able to get it soon!! Makes me want to re-read the graphic novel too AND hope that more Pops come out for it!!

Pretty sure this is a midtown exclusive

Postby **Kaljor** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 4:39 pm

The only way you can get this item is by purchasing it from Midtown.

And paying $40 for shipping is insane.

8.99 shipping within the US is pretty high. Hope it comes in a gold plated box, lol

I love Red Son Superman so I want to order this Pop, but the shipping cost to Australia makes me wince.

Just wanna put this out there for international peeps: If there is an item like this that you want cheaper shipping on, lmk and I can order it for you, then ship it to your international location once it arrives to me...I would ask only for the cost of the item plus shipping to me up front and then shipping to you once I am able to calculate an exact cost!

Postby **GStar-Lord** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 9:40 pm

The 8.99 shipping is enough of a turn off for me. I suppose I can order more stuff to kinda balance it out but I I'd just be spending upwards of $40 just to save $9 =P

Postby **SDotx13** » Fri Aug 22, 2014 10:39 pm

I preordered this on the 15th, and got shipping notice today. Waiting for tracking. 8.99 for shipping, but I knew that going in as it displayed shipping costs when I ordered it.

Postby **TheLastDude** » Sat Aug 23, 2014 12:12 am

Almost doubling the price of the figure just for shipping? Blech.

No Red Son Batman = No buy.

Shrodingers red son. Until you open the ark you don't know if he is actually in there.
