As a massive Real Ghostbusters fan in Ireland this is a kick in the teeth again and again. I'm happy for U.S. fans who are able to get it but this has been so damn frustrating.
Still 45$ usd to ship to Canada when they offer free shipping on 1/6th scale which is outrageous. Why not include international. I would buy it today but after exchange, shipping, taxes, and likely dhl processing fee its likely going to cost 425$.
@@aled9163 I meant it’s nobody’s fault that I don’t live in America lol but yes I see your point and agree there has to be some incentive they can offer international fans.
Ordered, they did the right thing for listening to their customers and I appreciate it. We don’t get that a lot in the world these days. This is my first Mondo purchase and first collector figure purchase in a long time.
Thanks also for the long Timed Window. Im on vacation next week and wouldn't be able to afford Sam Hain that paycheck. But by extending it even further, my next check is ready for the hit. Free shipping is just cherry on top!
They don’t care, it’s all smiles over there. They forget that not all collectors & GB fans are American. They’re just happy for themselves. Its quite insulting being as they had the cheapest post costs to begin with.
It may seem like complaining about the shipping was a minor issue, but factoring in at least 4 releases, plus Janine, and any other figures. The shipping costs would have been huge. Now if only we can get NECA to understand this.
I was literally on the fence about purchasing these, but this will help get my other leg over. It also help that they have payment plans. I wish Hasbro had a payment plan for their big items. I might have to pass on the Ecto-1 because Christmas is that month I'll be charged.
This will be my first Mondo figure. In the future, when this line BLOWS UP and the main figures are out. I do hope we get The Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1?
Some thoughts on the cost of these.... Mondo despite it's popularity, is still a relitively small niche company compared to someone like Hasbro. The Real Ghostbusters may be an expensive license to pay for Mondo. The standards of Mondo are known to be better quality. You have to take into account the cost to the sculptor, to design each individual Ghostbusters character. These are very detailed compared to other figures. Cost to the sculptor for all of the Ghost characters designed, including the smaller ones. Cost to a factory to produce them, and as it is a small run, could prove more expensive than mass produced at a discount. Prototypes could prove expensive, especially if further communication and action is needed to make changes. Cost to the factory workers who will be painting these products, who will have to be good painters, rather than painters who are generally used for mass produced pieces. They are not regular color injected pieces, and instead are hand painted. Cost to the artist/artists who designs the box art and packaging. Cost of the packing materials, including plastics. Cost of marketing the products, including visting Comic Cons, paying the photographers, and paying someone to promote the line. Shipping costs involved in delivering them to customers. Mondo will have to pay a percentage of their sales to the taxman. I guess somewhere in there Mondo have to turn a profit.....
In not willing to stump up for the international shipping when the 1/6 are free to the Uk. Another sentinel as well as ecto 1 is where my money is going.
@@windycitywarrior71should we just throw money away? International had much higher costs to begin with. Then we also get massive import duty costs. Are these worth that much? Nope. It’s a cartoon detailed figure with little articulation. As an eg. Premium dna do cartoon looking figures with lots of accessories, quality paintwork and detailing. Yet they sell for £45 on average. What makes these GB figures actually worth the cost? Is it just because it’s ghostbusters? Let’s see Americans buy enough to keep this line going…
Mondo does it again! I love you guys. I was out of pocket when this all went down being stuck on a work trip, but great to see you jumping on top of this Peter. Just ordered mine. You guys really know how to take care of your customers. Super glad to hear this is doing so well.
Did mondo toast haslab? They’ve definitely caused damage with their pre order. Haslab knew the early birdTully wasn’t getting included. Hopefully Has Lab will still fund, more than likely it’ll receive a boost near the end. But with no more stretch goals or tiers it is a little disappointing.
Wanted to get these but $100 for one super7 articulation figure from mondo I'm good i hope mondo motu 200x is not $100 for a basic articulation figure. Like these are
What a mess this whole ordeal is. I feel like the "Whoa we got way more orders than we expected, and now we can offer free shipping" thing is complete BS. They should've priced these at $79 each and had $18 shipping. Thats $97 with free shipping for US and you can raise shipping for international. Hardly anyone would've complained. Also, fuck the whole $101 instead of $99, or $100 thing. That really bugs me.
if they really wanted to be transparent as he said then they'd show cost to produce vs what they're charging so everyone could see profit made. obviously they're not going to do that. it has to be extremely substantial (a.k.a. they're way overcharging) if they can suddenly offer free shipping on every domestic order. are people really going to believe if there wasn't the outrage over the shipping that this would still be happening? LOL it's no coincidence.
No matching Mondo shirts? Free shipping or not, im still not getting these. They look cool, but the cost vs. What you get just dont add up for me. Mezoc one 12 sold all 4 with cloth goods for $300. You're telling me Mondo wants $800 by the end of this just to have the whole team? No way. I jnow you guys dont belive this but someone else will make these eventually. Also single jointed elbows?
I think Mondo is a cool company and I’m sure they mean well (I’m personally waiting for their 6 inch stuff) but I’m starting to feel a section of toytubers are starting to get too close to Mondo. It feels like some serious direct marketing efforts going on. Mondo is very boutique with their pricing.
I understand the worry that we're getting too close, but personally I think its more of Mondo wanting to be close to what toy fans are thinking, and these channels, and more specifically these livestreams where you can voice your opinions and thoughts live is a great place to hear and share directly with fans in real time. They saw the negative sentiment about the shipping and worked hard to make this happen for toy collectors. I think that's a good thing.
I can definitely see this point of view. But when I compare it to another brand I buy, S.H. Figuarts where I'm not even sure if there are humans working there. Nobody to answer questions on weird decisions, no accountability, no insights or roadmaps... I prefer Mondo's "one of us" approach. But I do get it, they're like Toy RUclips's honorary co-hosts

Seriously the best cartoon to action figure translation I’ve ever seen. These things are little works of art.
Peter you are a good guy but what about us overseas customers we get hit with customs as well as the postage, feels pretty unfair.
Really frustrating.

Bought the 2pack and may buy a second Peter! These look really amazing. Hoping they see enough success to branch out to extreme ghostbusters.
Great news! I'll be putting in my order AFTER work today😂
No love for the international fans?
It sucks I know, but I think the cost was too high to make it work is what they said on the stream.
just a shame is all, I know its nobody fault but we also have import charges on top so free shipping would of helped us too. Like you said, it sucks.

It’s still $47 to Ireland + customs. They’re pricing me and a lot of collectors particularly internationally out of it

@ the price point is fairly prohibitive for starters and then they just ram it home with shipping
@ I think the payment plans are only for the US too
@@derrickorourke8454Really!? We really are getting the shit end of the stick aren’t we?!
@@Endo-Skeleton big time. They clearly don’t care
Thank you mondo, honestly the shipping was a barrier, but now free shipping, it is a game changer🎉🎉I already got 1 before the update🎉
It may seem like complaining about the shipping was a minor issue, but factoring in at least 4 releases, plus Janine, and any other figures. The shipping costs would have been huge.
Now if only we can get NECA to understand this.
SOLD! I also had it in my cart, but stopped when I saw the shipping. I'm buying it now.
I do love this and it puts me closer to maybe ordering. After my kid's wisdom teeth bill we'll see.
I only wanted Peter and ordered from BBTS. They charge 4 dollar shipping. Mondo wanted 20.95 in shipping for the same item
And now I'm back to pre-ordering the exclusive release.
Great news! Still kind of pricey, but shaving off the $30 shipping fee makes it a little more palatable.
What about Canadian customers???
Glad they listened to the fans. I have to wait until payday next week to order the two pack.
Mondo always comes through and makes it right! Mondo and Jay for President #2028 💯❤️
Thank You!
You ship to Canada for free tho?
I was literally on the fence about purchasing these, but this will help get my other leg over.
It also help that they have payment plans. I wish Hasbro had a payment plan for their big items. I might have to pass on the Ecto-1 because Christmas is that month I'll be charged.
i was here 35 seconds, i glanced at the comments and got all the info i need
To be clear, will Samhain get a single release, or only packed with Peter?
Only with Peter
How long will free shipping be available?
In perpetuity!
Now we need Hasbro to listen and make Luis Tully an inuded figure or a tier at 14k instead of the early bird BS.
This will be my first Mondo figure. In the future, when this line BLOWS UP and the main figures are out. I do hope we get The Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1?
Free shipping yes . Ok now I’m feeling better about getting it I’ll order soon

The whole shebang is doing the single pack for £99.99 free shipping
Samhain gave me nightmares.... I want to relive it 😅
Still no payment plans for mondo figures for U.K./overseas customers. What company doesn’t want more money 😂
That's really cool 😎
Because of the free shipping I’ll probably order this now
Cansaling my order case it's not included for free to canada
😂😢 you’re grown men buying toys. Pony up!

If your in your in, if not don't take the dots...!.😊
Good luck if you are and at least a good few months to wait till next set.
🇬🇧👻🤞🍻
The difference now is that all the figures are shipped loose in zip lock bags. The E-bay editions. Jk
Mondo figures are stellar, but the prices are murder.
Sold!
I'm in love with these new figures.

Who ya gunna call?
MONDO!
Canada free shipping please =(
Officially 3rd?!?
Animated Ecto hopefully down the line
Officially 2nd
But not for Europe... Over 150 Dollars for the figure with tax and shipping...

Mondo in general is a bit overpriced in my opinion. The figures look great don't get me wrong, but I can't justify 250 ish for that set.
Nobody serves customers like Mondo customer service
Lego
@@BobTheAwesomeBob Never had an interaction with them. But if that's true then dope, you go Lego 👍🏼
