Best online store for IA

By FrogTrigger, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

My wife got a new job that has her traveling around the States so I have an opportunity to pick up some cheaper figures without paying the ridiculous 60-70 dollars for shipping to Canada.

Just curious which store you would recommend ordering from? It will be delivered to the hotel she is staying at, so shipping rates/options should be considered. Her first stop is Florida this month. So far I have looked at Miniatures Market and Cool Stuff Inc.

If she's in Florida, CSI is the place to go. If she's moving around a lot I'd suggest CSI for east of the Mississippi and MM for west.

Amazon might not be bad either if she moves around a lot, due to faster shipping if you have Prime. Asmodee has unfortunately seriously nerfed the savings we used to get with CSI and MM (unless they have a sale on IA). There have been times I've seen the same prices on Prime and CSI/MM since the online pricing policy change this spring.

MM is $5.95 shipping costs no matter the size/order that's under $99. Anything over is free. CSI is free shipping on anything over $125 (I think...it could be $100), but anything short of that (say a figure or two) I'm not sure if they have a flat rate or if it's based off a scale. Cardhaus is a good one to use too, some of their prices can be better than those other two. They're definitely $125 and over for free shipping as well.

As others states, Amazon can be good as well if you have Prime and it's over $49 for free shipping. Used to be $25 and that was nice, but that's gone now (well it's still there, but only for books, not the "all categories").

I was sitting at like $94 for CSI with $10 shipping, so I added another figure to get it just over $100 and its free shipping and actually cheaper. Thanks for the tip!

Did a order through CSI with free shipping on the 8th and just received it today on the 19th, but I live in the Seattle area.

Did that include the new figures though?

Ya she is actually flying into/out of Jacksonville so she will just pick it up for me. :) We figured that out right before I hit process lol.
