Halo Points Finally Redeemable

I went and checked the postage. £10 (roughly $20) - and it costs me that to send FROM the UK to ESTONIA, for heaven's sake. Don't be surprised, US postage is cheap compared to European prices.

As of right now, 10 euro's = $12, not $20

...funny. Last time I checked, the UK still uses POUNDS (£) not Euros (€). And since I recall the general rule being one UK pound to 2 US dollars... see where I take my math on this?

Ok, that still makes 10 POUNDS = $13.60. Thats not $20

Are you going to carry on being picky picky or just let it slide with 'it's going to take too much time and money to get the reward for this stuff'?

Simple answer: it's just not cost-effective.

No, I'm just stating facts, thats all. I honestly don't really care. I mean, I only have enough to really get the little Katana thing, but the only other thing I might want would be the gold one, and that would be only for collecting purposes

Also, knowing McFarlane, they wouldn't just throw the parts in an envelope. I am pretty sure they are carded or in a bubble, which would increase the shipping.

They do show the final packaging in there. I don't think it'd be cost effective on their end to throw a huge boxe or whatever around it

Silly me.

Last time I actually looked, they hadn't posted the final packaging. Throwing the pieces in a bag like that cant be safe for transport, though...

I honestly wouldnt be too worried about that. If you think about it, the pieces themselves are made of a vinyl type plastic, that I've bent and squished numerous times, and have not had anything crack or break at all.

If you can make it all yourself, whats the point in buying it? Why have a master Chief Action figure (Oh, thats kinda cool) when you can just make a suit of MJOLNIR that fits you (HOLY F-ING CHRISTBALLS THATS AWESOME!! :V )

Comparing an action figure to a suit of armor is very silly.

....that is the silliest thing I've ever heard. And I'm not going to dignify it with a response.

I do agree - and so I did. And McFarlane Customer Support told me they're currently reviewing their decision, and may open the program to international customers for a raised price.

Still finger-worthy, but it's not AS finger-worthy as blowing your fanbase off completely.
