Yes, they are much better than expected, Best thing to come out for ages, I love the water one
Yes they really are! Thanks for sharing the pics with us!
I think EE is asking for $25.99 for them plus shipping (within the USA it's $7.95 for super saver just for the set and shipping cost is based of the price of item, not the weight). Hasbrotoyshop is asking $12.99 each (for both that's $25.98) and shipping within the USA for 1 or both is a standard $6.98. Looks like hasbro may have them beaten by a few cents. But EE has the collectors gurantee that an item will be in near mint to mint condition and if you received a crushed box, they will exchange it for you at no charge.
SO the totals for a USA buyer would be
$33.94 (25.99 + 7.95 s&h) Entertainment Earth
$32.96 (25.98 + 6.98 s&h) HasbroToyShop
For me, I'm leaning towards hasbro toy shop and to take that chance on it arriving damaged. They take paypal and EE only takes credit/debit cards. No paypal, but they told me a while back they are trying to get that set up, but who knows when it'll go into effect.
As for discount codes, did anyone think about trying
Coupon codes and discounts for 20,000 online stores! RetailMeNot.com ? They might have something in there. I've sometimes been able to use codes for other toys in the mlp's.
and some new photos here:
If anyone is interested in the ones from Entertainment Earth, that thread is here:
