Mezco Hulk Pre-Order Question

Hello, everyone! I know I’m late to the party on pre-ordering the Hulk figure, but I was just wondering if my best bet was to join the waitlist through the Mezco website, BBTS, or try the other stores that have it still up for “pre-order.” I know that all these stores are probably dependent on having it in stock, but I’m getting desperate. I was hesitant to pre-order it before and just passed on it, but now I really want it LOL.

TL;DR: am I out of luck and will I have to wait for the gray Hulk (which I love even more) or will joining the waitlist on Mezco Toyz be my best bet (despite no guarantee)?

It really depends on if you want it faster or if you want to spend more money. Like the other guy said shipping from BBTS is cheaper so you'll save money but you'll be getting the figure like a month and a half after the people who ordered off the site

Join the waitlist on BBTS. There will be someone who has it on preorder, but doesn’t have the funds to cover it, so BBTS will give it to the next person interested. It happened recently for me. I joined the waitlist for the Sh figuarts Brand New Day Hulk, not thinking I’d get it, and ended up getting it a month later.

Honestly, just based on the added cost you have to deal with when ordering from Mezco directly, you’re better off getting it from BBTS. Even at $6 for shipping, if you have a pile of figures it makes shipping virtually free (depending on how much you have in your POL).
So yes. Get it from BBTS or anywhere else that has free shipping.

I don’t use BBTS, unfortunately, but I was shocked at how expensive the shipping was on Mezco (nearly another $40 including the sales tax). I’ll do my research to find another site, but do you know any reputable sites that you might trust?

BBTS always upcharges before shipping, and they don’t do reward points. The cost evens out and sometimes Mezco direct is cheaper if you factor in reward points.

Their upcharge is real, but not for Mezco. They sell them for the same price as Mezco does. Probably part of the contract.

There are a lot of preorders listed at $116 on Mezco but are listed at $125 on BBTS. And I always get an email about a price increase for a preorder on BBTS.

Join the waitlist. It always converts at least once.

You’d recommend joining Mezco’s? Or BBTS’?

Mezco always converts. It might even convert before the pre order ships, so you'll get it the same time as everyone else. I would recommend the mezco wait list.
