Despite working not that far from Toy Tokyo, it's cheaper and easier to order from Firebox. What's up with that?

What is up with that? I would think surely the shipping and money conversions and everything all together would certainly make walking to the store *way* cheaper. (I assume you walk.. it seems to be the mode of choice in the city)

For all you fellow Bay area peeps, Games of Berkeley is currently out of stock on all Perplex City stuff, with no idea at present of when they'll restock. They did take my name and offer to call me when they know something, so I'll repost if I hear anything.

Great little store, though.

Incidentally, unless my math is off, it looks like it's actually cheaper right now to order online from Firebox than from Unsound. Funny, no?

Seems to be the running theme on US stores. It makes sense though buying from Firebox (the initial company) than a third party company as they want their profit margin also. Just think while waiting for the mail to arrive we get to work on those pesky silvers!

I think I may continue to buy cards from Firebox, even though I think the cards from Insound are ultimately cheaper (taking shipping into consideration). The Insound website doesn't seem to work all that well (it took something like an hour to get my order to go through) and at this point I feel this strange loyalty to Firebox.

And I like the fact that they send me weird candy with my cards. Do they do this for everyone? My last set of cards came with gummy fried eggs.

My started box came with Gummy Sour Apples Smile

I also feel a strange loyalty to Firebox, Applsticker. I just don't have the funds for it. Damn exchance rates...

I just tried Insound, and I think I'm going back to Firebox. I placed an order last Friday, and it took over a week to get to me! In just a plain, plain bubble package. With Firebox it was 4-5 days. I'm also hoping I'll get lucky and get another pack of gummi cola bottles. Smile

(They didn't send me any silvers, either Evil or Very Mad

)

I posted all the info to a message board for a game store in my town. This was the reply I got:

good work jot!

did toy tokyo used to sell cards online or am i just making that up? because their website is www.toytokyo.com but they seem to have redesigned it so its all toys and no cards or comics (unlike the shop, or at least was last time i went there)

i've ordered stuff from insound before (to the uk) and they've been fine with me, cheap too (*wonders about exchange rates...*)

rach =)

We've got 'em now, too!

They're available to all US retailers through GTS distribution, so now any store in the US can carry them! Hoody-hoo! Very Happy
