shame steep shipping prices price me out may have to wait for some on ebay if they come up
I wouldn't wait for anything on EvilBay..unless you want to pay alot more...or did you think people buy these to put on Evilbay and discount them? I'd jump on one if I was you
Out of curiosity jbuk, where in the world are you? I think the issue here isn't the price of the product itself (assuming you too are Internationally located jbuk), but the shipping costs (not to rain on the parades of US Bond fans who have ordered). I thought of perhaps just ordering the cards for now, but shipping came out to cost more than twice of the cost of the cards themselves. ?:)
yeh im from the uk thought about ordering just the cards but $56 dollers for shipping is almost double the product themselves hence why i mention ebay as they may come up cheaper there from a us seller

That's wise then.

The other option, I'm thinking, is to try and order through your local comic book / collectible shop, which may result in a cheaper sell price to you than the website, even after the store's wholesale cost and shipping?
Perhaps, Factory Q-Branch, you could advise us on where the high International shipping costs come into it? Surely a pack of cards doesn't cost US$65 to send to Australia or the UK, and I'm a bit bummed that 007 collectibles I was looking forward to purchasing are now not as internationally accessible as I once thought.
Well, they haven't done publicity, it's just the people in the know, and that was the pre-order. It's not like they were in every Walmart. I believe that they will increase in value over the years... that is if another version isn't made.

It's a downtime for Bond with no movement on the latest film so alot of fans aren't paying attention. I'm curious to see what happens after people see it at Comic-Con if they display it well.
Well if they were making new movies every two years, maybe we wouldn't pay attention to all the details like we do now, like the clothes, or even the furniture. I think it's a good idea they let us a few years to give us the time to afford the things. Thanks for that, EON. Still, I'd like to see Bond 23 sometime. You may start filming is what I mean.

I'm a little surprised they hadn't sold out yet too but I wouldn't worry guys.......last I heard a couple days ago they had less than 40 SE Guns left...doubt they will last the week.
I ordere one of the LE versions, and was glad i stumbled onto it, I usually am on the James Bond Lifestyle page and just happened to find out they were taking pre orders, lucky me. i have been wanting one of these for a long time. -{
so how do the die hard fans who got the privalige of being informed first to the pre-ordering of the items and did so with geat excitement now feel about seeing the gun $50 cheaper on this site.
i for one is a bit cheesed off.wonder how much they are charging for shipping to the uk (i am paying $150 for the 3 items i ordered from FE)
I suppose a lot of questions can arise from it, like next time FE produce something, do we buy it direct from them or wait to see if it will be cheaper once it is out with the retailers???
Im sure buying in bulk is cheaper but $50 is no small amount on $449......

Guys, bottom line is that companies, either original manufacturer (FE) or resellers, have to make money. Manufacturers have to supply resellers at less than RRP, otherwise the reseller makes no money. That is the way of the world.
BUT, if we want to see FE produce more quality Bond items then we have to support them, otherwise it will not be in their own interest to continue. I for one will continue to buy direct from them in good faith that they will be successfull and continue to give us what we want ie more props. You can't have it both ways I'm afraid.
PS I have co connection, apart from being a customer, with FE
PPS I know we have yet hold one of their products in our hands, but I believe they will be things of joy to behold.
I don't have a problem with FE selling these at a discounted price to stores so the stores can make money, but had I stuck with a LE gun I would be feeling a little ticked right about now. I hope for everyone's sake that the value of both items only go up from here.

And if you want to up your order, just call them, I'm sure it will be no problem.
EDIT: For the Golden Gun, that is.
That's wise then.

Anybody else a little surprised / disappointed that the SE Gun hasn't sold out yet?
Oh sh*t what an asshole website! What a bitch n*gga website!
FE should have been more careful in the search for wholesale sellers and should have set some clear rules about the pricing.

Cammy, I hate you. I know it's not your fault, cause you're just the messager and everything, but I hate you.
Hopefully the SE version won't be sold cheaper since it was stated that there wouldn't be any wholesale pricing on those.

i'd say it'd be around the $280, $290 mark, but thats just a stab in the dark.
i know to run a project like this has many hurdles to overcome, but the cards costing more to ship than they do to buy?

You're probably right. If they were crap they wouldn't have gotten the EON stamp of approval. Right....?!?
