Haha, so amazing that I have one loose for display and one still in box to hold in his mossy smell. ) I have a feeling I won't be doing the same for Stinkor, though. LOL.

[Tiberius]

LOL. Oh I wonder how that would turn out...

[Optimus Vader]

Moss Man is awesome.

And that's not really moss growing all over him..

[Tiberius]

Fooled me. He isn't a priority character for me but the sheer coolness of the figure is making it go up on my list.

[thechris]

They should make a Moss Man Chia Pet. I'd buy it. Chi Chi Chi Chi Chia!!! Endless supply of fresh herbs for Eternian salad.

BEGIN JOKE: Moss Man walks into an Eternian "massage parlor" and asks to get his salad tossed. END JOKE

[Tiberius]

HAHAHA. Probably could get one made of his head, ya know.

SO. My parcels will be available for pick up TOMORROW. They came in TWO boxes and I have to pay duty fees, YAY. Damn MC for not letting me mark as gift!

Duties? Really? What did you buy? I didn't have duties on 3 of my MC packages.

I bought Trap Jaw, Skeletor, He-Man and Hordak. Came to 70.40 without shipping. I think they fucked up. OFF TO CANADAPOST.CA I GO.

Hmmm, yeah, at worst, it should be that only one box has duties. Weird that it took two boxes, though. They fit like 12 boxes into one crate for me once.

[thechris]

When I had a two parter, they marked it 1/2 and 2/2 and I only paid duties on one box.

[Optimus Vader]

A little vintage love..

[Tiberius]

well for one box I pay the 17 dollars, and the next box nothing, But that that rate I am pretty much paying 8.50 a box.

This is what Canadapost.ca says:

"Under the provisions of the Postal Imports Remission Order, if someone mails you an item worth CAN$20 or less, you don’t have to pay duty or taxes on the item. If the item is worth more than CAN$20, you must pay the applicable duty, the GST or HST, and any PST on the item’s full value."

If that is true, I am most def not signing up for a membership next year..

I have been checking their site and I don't see anything about sending as gift like BBTS. If I missed it let me know for the future. Here is what Canadapost said:

"For an item to qualify as a "gift", a friend or relative must send it to you personally and include a card or other notice indicating that it is a gift.

If you receive an imported gift by mail that is worth CAN$60 or less, you will not have to pay duty or tax on it.
If the gift is worth more than CAN$60, you will have to pay any applicable duty and taxes on any amount over CAN$60.
For example, if a relative sends you a gift worth CAN$200, you must pay any applicable duty, GST or HST and PST on CAN$140.

Items that do not qualify for the CAN$60 gift exemption include the following:

tobacco;
alcoholic beverages;
advertising material; and
items sent by a business."

If they offer shipping as gift it will save me TONS of money. Probably why my BBTS orders never got duty feed is because it is a business that sent as gift.


Sigh.

That's not entirely true, I think they under value their items slightly, but almost every order I placed with BBTS has had around $20 in duties. It's only been a couple of times that I didn't pay duties but then my orders are usually $100 and up. I don't think they always bother with orders $100 and under.

[Optimus Vader]

Boo-Yah!

[thechris]

Why you... club thumbed bastard... Haha, just kidding. I'm just jealous. Mine won't be here for another month. Posed pics coming soon???

[Optimus Vader]

haha.. club thumbed. I'm going to bust him out shortly. I'll get a few pics up.

[Tiberius]

...SOLD. God damn the Snake Men. Crying out loud. Have to remember not to come to this thread.. XD

[thechris]

You should redo the 1980s Minicomic where He-man unwittingly "rescues" King Hsss from a "beatdown" by Evil Warriors. King Hsss offers a handshake and his arm comes off to reveal a snake, all his skin comes off and He-man gets hypnotized. Scary!!!

I second this. One of my favorite MOTU mini comics and hella creepy when I was a kid.

[Optimus Vader]

Wait a minute.. thechris doesn't have King Hsss?
