The latest DVD Profiler update is now available and it includes the Alien Quad package!

It's available again @ amazon.co.jp!

No, it isn't.

It was at the time. I almost bought a few for Ebay, but they didn't seem to be selling for too much.

Nearly went to buy 10 of them to sell on Ebay! but no luck. :( guess I will have to do with the 4 I have.

I got stung for $300 off the evil idiots at DHL today! $300 !!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the price for them on ebay is slowly crawling up. Most expensive sale so far was for $450 + $100 shipping, sold on the 16th of this month. I'll bet the prices will jump as a) more word gets out and b) Christmas draws near.

I sold mine for $573 on UK ebay,
and have gotten about $1,637 for the 3 I sold so far :)

made a bit of cash in the end after postege, DHL and stuff.

Gah, just got hit with some customs charges from Fed-Ex for the alien heads!

Got hit with customs from FedEx as well... what happens if I don't pay these?

You'll get your information filed to a collection agency and it may show on your credit if unresolved. Step up to the plate and pay the bill.

Really? Cuz aren't they supposed to tell me there will be charges before they deliver and not weeks later? That way I can refuse the package if I don't want to pay the extra tax. Not that I would, but I'm just saying.

How much was the customs bill for?

I got charged nearly 150 uk pounds! which scared me to death! and if you dont pay it they keep sending you letters, and in the end the balifs stomp down your door and steal all your goods from your home! the longer you dont pay, the higher the price goes up, so pay it as soon as you can. :)

No charges have to be declared at the time of delivery, or prior to it, it's an assumed liability you incur by using the courier company's services. Some such as UPS or Fedex will collect at time of delivery so you have the option there to know up front, but others may bill you as late as 1-2 months later. Ultimately though, as the recipient you are liable for any and all charges, whether it be a customs fee, tax, or a brokerage fee that includes service charges for clearing the package through customs. At the end of the day you either use a public company such as the postal service to deliver who will charge applicable goverment taxes, or you use a prive delivery company such as a courier who will charge you for any additional services they provide on top of any applicable taxes. In either case you can't avoid paying :)

I had no choice as I was upgraded :(

Wow, you got charged a lot more than I did. My charge was for $11 US. Wierd...and I had two Alien head packages delivered.

Where is the best place to order one of these without having to pay the overblown price of $300US? Is it even possible to find a nice person willing to help someone get this without trying to get rich off of the sale? I highly doubt it, but it's worth asking.

$300 is a reasonable price, not overblown - I think that's even the MSRP. Highly doubt you'll find it for that.

$300 for that stuff is really cheap.Thats the retail price and hard to get new sets.So if you like that set then it's worth it.But if it's used then I consider it a little bit high!

I agree, $300 is a good price for the set. I'm surprised the price hasn't jumped more since AVP has come out. I'll bet this set will be going for big bucks right before Christmas.

Considering I was selling mine for over $500 months ago, the price can only go up I would guess, I sold all mine very easy and could easily have got more ( wish I had now ), but they are nice. :)

does anyone know if it's still available online somewhere? :(

The only places I've seen it is on ebay. Prices are what Romero mentioned above, I think I even saw a few go for around $600, but I've seen a few for $375 "but it now" prices on ebay.

-JR

no! i mean online retailers sell new ones...u know last week there was only 1 left n amazon.co.jp but it was taken!:(

You can find some on ebay (search items in Japan), but the shipping is going to be at least $120 (EMS) to the USA.
