Just got mine today.
The dragon is huge. Not $300 huge but definitely $60 huge. The Hydra is great also. The pieces fit together almost seamlessly.

Both my orders (14th December) are still 'Processing'. I don't have much hope....

Well mine were late November. So probably lots of orders between yours and mine.

Received mine last week, after being held by customs for almost two weeks. Didn't mind paying €6,60 in VAT, that's basically the law. But the €13 in handling costs are totally absurd for a package worth €37. That's almost 33% of the cost! I will fail a complaint with them. Won't do anything for me now, but one can always hope it will effect in the long run. And it's a matter of principal.

Still haven’t received mine. I just hope it doesn’t get bogged down too long by customs.

Have you guys heard that there will be a Confrontation Kickstarter this year?

Couldn't agree more. They should make that fee a percentage of the value, instead of a flat fee. We now pay €13,- for any shipment over €22,-, regardless if it is €22,01 worth of toys or a €40.000,00 car...

Got my shipping notice today.

That's good to know, I guess they are still fulfilling then

I guess it's a flat fee because it's the same paperwork irrespective of the value. Same here in the UK. It's a shame as it does take the shine off the bargain aspect a little.

But hey, new toys.

That's true of course, but with the volume going through these days, they're making an absolute killing on this (which is probably why they keep it going).

The fee was first raised well before the whole internet commerce boom. Now they're at a huge multitude of shipments, with a whole range of technical innovations (such as advanced OCR software, automated sorting machines etc), that they could reduce those fees significantly, while in reality, they're increasing them almost every year.

I'd suggest to at least have the fees dropped if the import tax amount is lower or equal to the fee amount. Trust me; they'll still make a pretty penny off doing virtually nothing extra...

And that, of course, is the main thing!

Ordered on the 27th November and had no updates or anything since... I sent a support ticket in last week asking for an update on the progress of the order and they haven't responded. I reckon a week is long enough for a response so if I don't have anything by tomorrow I'll probably just file a PayPal dispute.

I guess those prices were really too good to be true...

Finally, yesterday got my package at the customs - additional fee was 13 EUR. The post took almost one month to deliver parcel to the customs

. At one moment I thought the parcel is lost, but I have now my minis and am very happy - the Cynwall Wyrm is large!

Found the shipping notice for my Dwarf Golem in my spam folder so sent on Friday....here's looking forward to it! The other order was the bigger numbers wise but still processing.
