Purchased many figures from Spencer, he runs a tight ship, good prices. Your in Canada, so be prepared to pay H.S.T./G.S.T. otherwise no problems. He has a bricks and mortar shop in Coquitlam, BC and is looking to expand to a larger space.
Yup, I get all my HT pre-orders in with Spencer at USH. Being in Canada, I just find it the best value. Flat-rate shipping on figs and GST still comes to cheaper than shipped from the US...and then if you end up getting import taxes on that stuff from the US, forget about it!
Plus Spencer gets the pre-orders up for 10% off retail (unlike, ahem Toys2)...and Spence has a loyalty rewards program and topnotch communication. It's all win IMO.
But yeah, since he gets his stuff from SS, you have to be patient. That's no biggie for me considering the savings.
Bump to an old thread. For you guys who have purchased through Urban Samurai, how much of a lagg between when Sideshow ships to when Urban Samurai ships? I ask because I have Hot Toys R2D2 on order and I was expecting a shipping notification already since Sideshow has been shipping for a couple of weeks now.
