Bottom line is it's about to go live and will cost you $294 (plus $3 for each billing period) before shipping.

The shipping rates have gotten better.

Cut off date is Sept 4th.

The cynic in me is wondering if they decided to announce the FSS now (aside from the genuine delays that prevented it from being launched much earlier this year) to draw some attention away from the CJC.

I don't think so. They've been trying to get it going for a while. Last week the store was suppose to open again but it failed. It opened on Monday and is running smooth. The entire time they were saying that as soon as the store went live they would try to get the FSS running right away.

man spent so much lately its hard for me to pull the trigger on this...I probably will but man..Ive spent so much money on sdcc, gijcc, canjoecon, all in the last 2 months, not to mention fanexpo is right around the corning too!

GIJCC finally got their web pages working.

The base cost for a set of figures is $294.

The cheapest shipping option is "Post Office Priority Mail International"

Each one of those has insurance as an add on option. From what I understand the insurance is a one time fee.

So using the cheapest option here's the math:

1 order = $60 (+ 21 insurance) = $81 per unit
2 orders = $101 (+ 30 ins) = $54.50 per unit.
3 orders = $222 (+ 34.50 ins) = $ 85.5 per unit
4 orders = $252 (+ 39.00 ins) = $72.75 per unit
5 orders = $283 (+ 43.50 ins) = $53.5 per unit
6 orders = $313.80 (+ 48 ins) = 60.30 per unit
7 orders = $344.40 (+ 52.50 ins) = $56.64 per unit
8 orders = $375 (+ 57 ins) = $53.25 per unit.

My math might be off somewhere but this will give you the basic idea of costs.

I stopped after 8.

So if you got one set it would cost you $294 plus $3 fee plus shipping $81 = $378 (USD)

That's $31.50 per figure with the 13th figure being free or $29.08 for all 13 figures.

Does anyone plan on getting the Figure subscription services?

Not me.
None of the figure wowed me. I found them pretty boring so even at retail, I'd pass most of them.

I went with 1 set only.  Did it say when they planing on shipping the first wave?

[morgardee]

They are aiming for December.

I went with 1 set also, I didnt get insurance...I regret not getting it now, as the club has been known to fudge orders time to time...I guess if worst comes to worst I can charge back.

The orders will not be finalized until Sept 4.  I'm sure you can get them to add it now.

Anyone ever thought to make a group order?

My only concern with a group orders if the value gets to high we will get hit with Customs Charges as well.
