    I’ve never had prime. Whenever I look at Amazon now it’s basically a local AliExpress with loads of cheaply made Chinese stuff. Amazon is not cheap anymore either. eBay is always cheaper.

        AliExpress too, to some extent, depending on what it is. Usually has “direct from the mainland” shipping, though.

          I recently got several brand new NECA TMNT Last Ronin and Usagi Yojimbo action figures for about 40% less than retail on Ali. But you have to be careful; I also inadvertently dropped $20 on what turned out to be a couple of accessories.
