    From the Super7 blog: "To coincide with the St. Patrick's Day holiday, Big Sal will be released at 12 noon, Thursday, March 17th., $30 each."

    This is, IMO, the coolest colorway of all the Big Sals. I hope they eventually turn up some other place than S7. *fingers crossed*

    I'm a bit reluctant paying $30.75 for international shipping!!!! :(

    Well, I only want this sole figure right now. The coolest on-line stores are the ones that differentiate between one toy and tons of toys. I've had one-pieces sent from the US for as little as 12 bucks! For mini figs even a fiver.

    That is pretty expensive for shipping on one figure... I mean, shipping for something of a comparative size from Japan to the US is like $10.

    I just shipped two magazines to Hong Kong and the cheapest option was $20. Is this the one single area that broadband always-on Internet cannot help? Incidentally, I chose "local pickup" for this figure to save myself the $6.60. Sorry folks overseas. Although, whenever I want to buy a toy from France, the shipping often eclipses the toy.

    Magazines are expensive to ship because of how heavy they are. Vinyl and plastic are light, thus if stores actually shipped based on weight it would be pretty damn cheap. I've had Super7 stuff shipped overseas for about $7.

    Jeremy - Really? usually HK shipping to Israel is the cheapest.

    I don't know, the cheapest shipping option from S7 to Israel is 25$ even for one toy, which means it's tough getting a 30$ toy there... while Rotofugi say, will send me a bunch of toys for about 10$ and MPH a little over 15...
    I'm not sure it is the actual shipping cost - either differing shipping methods or some places are just lazy to check the actual overseas prices.

    @lordsketch REALLY! I was shipping two copies of Design Bureau mag w/ my interview w/ Mark Landwehr to Coarse Toys in HK. When I got to the post office, and they told me the price, I was shocked, but I didn't want to "cheap out" on it :) Dealing with the post office here is such a chafe, but we should try to figure out a network of people in desirable cities who could use flat rate boxes to fulfill orders. I could REALLY use a man (or woman) in France! I'm not always flush with free time, but maybe with one or two others, I could volunteer to cover the San Francisco shops.

    Guess what? I just ordered this new Big Sal from Neon Monster and I think they have changed their shipping costs as well. I had to pay excact the same as with S7, $30, so I ordered a whole bunch of toys. Isn't that swell? :- /
