Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if anyone traded customs for a Tumbler or Batpod? Or are you asking if any of us have been ripped off from someone in Hong Kong?
I think what Mohawk1975 might be saying is that his Tumbler was slapped with a hefty customs importation fee when it was shipped into the country, and he's wondering if anyone else had to pay a tax as well. Is that correct, Mohawk?

LOL that makes sense. I saw the word "customs" and I assumed he was talking about custom figures!
So ignore me.

Re: Hot Toys-TDK-Tumbler-Batpod and new suit-pics and full spec
 It's all good, Grim. What if Mohawk DID trade his Tumbler for some custom 1/6s?! Can you imagine how cool the customs would have to be?! I think I'd only trade my Tumbler (if I had one) for picturesque MGS4 True-type customs of Snake and Raiden. They'd have to be PERFECT, but if they were, I'd definitely trade.

Amen!
Same here...
Make that: MGS2 Snake, MGS4 Old Snake
and MGS4 Raiden with modified
"hirsute" muscular bodies and with the cool LEDs for the SolidEyeSystems and metal parts and accessories.
Oh, and also include
(** special feature:
New material used on the figure head, better head skin texture is presented with this new material. )
Now, that will be "The Day" ... for me.
But for now, Batman DX + Tumbler rocks!!!
And since I may not be able to acquire these two every well thought out picture is truly a gift to enjoy.
Thanks for those taking time sharing their pics, I really appreciate it.
It makes my day.

Re: Hot Toys-TDK-Tumbler-Batpod and new suit-pics and full spec
Got mine today. I haven't gotten around to taking proper photos yet.
A 1/18 General Lee is sitting in front of it.
AA battery.
I know it takes AAA batteries. Just for size comparison, heh ;)
I'm slowly going over it cleaning some manky fingerprints. I'm really OCD with that stuff. Nearly got it all off. Even still. They should have used soft cotton gloves!
I had to fix one minor part. One of the brake flaps lug mounts was broken on it's own. Which I'm now waiting for the glue to dry/harden before I mount them.

Re: Hot Toys-TDK-Tumbler-Batpod and new suit-pics and full spec
Pains me to see so many defects with this thing. Mine is back home at the moment and I won't get to see it for another year or so 
Hope I don't open it and find it snapped in half

Re: Hot Toys-TDK-Tumbler-Batpod and new suit-pics and full spec
That is true but most of my problems are nearly fixed plus I have modifications planned for the ****pit.
I think I'll have to build a unit to put the Tumbler in with making part of the cave all surrounding the car with some small LED lights and sliding glass doors.
I'd love to display it sitting in the dark partially lit up looking very stealth and menacing with cavern type sharp objects in it's background all casting shadows from the unit LED's and the car LED's.
Seeing it all lit up in the dark is so lovely to create that form of effect. Tempted to dig out the Batman Begins DVD!
Cheesy vid I know but just to show the lights and for some reason it's made it too big. ¬_¬
