Ive always wondered, what kind of shipping fees do you have to deal with because of State or Country??? I Live in Alaska(Yes i know i ***** about it ALL the time, because i think i have the right too) And We get about 15 dollars to 40 dollars from almost same places (my problems are mainly Texas for some reason), and thats only like 2 or 3 figures.... what do you usually have to pay (Evilbay doesnt count they can set it to whatever they want if they wanted to)

I live in PA, and it varies between store. TRU charges me $6 for the 1st figure, $2 for every after that. And other places are around there, but usually a little bit more. D&R charged me $10 for 1 figure for both pink ones. BBTS is about $7. Hasbro.com is about $6.50 for ML stuff. But I'd imagine alaska being horrible. Yea, for the one place that has the Silver Mark VI up for preorder they wanna charge me $30 American for shipping. It's nuts.

High shipping to Texas? I would figure the East coast would be the most. For me, living in Texas, it all depends. Alot of companies are expanding their number of warehouses away from only the the coasts (most seem to be in California) and are opening them up in the Dallas area which is less than an hour from where I live. I guess I can't really complain. The problem is for you is that, and not to push it in your face any more than it already is, alot of towns are hard to access because of the long Winters there.

Hehe, sounds like people asking me about Canada.
Shipping costs in Canada depend on where you're sending it, how much it weighs, etc... and Canada Post is yucky. It cost me $18 to ship one figure across the country to Ontario recently.

Plus your Post is really freaking slow. The figures I send from Texas will reach the border in like 4-5 days and then take another week or so to travel the 50 miles across the border to whereever they need to go.

...You know, thats very unkind of you, my winters last from october 31 (yes Halloween, the first snow always falls on Halloween in Anchor Point, which is awesome) till sometime in March, maybe April, we dont have long winters, you guys are just listening to media and comics that say we do, we dont. We live just like everyone else, you want a long winter? go to the north or South Pole, (and Northern Northern Northern Alaska, very Northern). Its the same with Canada. Rant over. I Feel good now.

You don't need google earth...I got that pic from the (slightly less detailed) "Google maps".
Go to google, and at the top you'll see "Web", "Images", "maps", and a couple other things... click maps, and you get a mini google earth. ( Click satalite to get actual pics instead of a road map) ... no downlaoding, no installing... nothing.
