Yeah I've managed to find room for the boxes inside some closed cabinets, but I no longer have any more room, where do you guys with 50+ figures store your boxes? I'm approaching 20 and I'm done with space for them...and these are simply not boxes you flatten or throw away as I feel the work and art put into most of these is as much part of the figure as anything else..

My apartment has a huge closet near the front door, so I use it as my box storage room.
 
Still at peace with my decision to order this month despite having more points coming in the future ... I can at least say that all my orders that came with extra rewards had their points active when I pulled the trigger on HB.

I'm so paranoid this is going to sell out before I can PO it. :gah:

Congrats, subzro! :duff
 
So if I missed out on the Pre-order from BBTS - and am ordering from the US - what do people recco? Are the ebay sellers to be trusted?

Thanks,

Personally I'd never ever ever PO thru eBay. Most sellers are legit, but to many things can happen. I've seen legit sellers turn scammers, die, get bought out, hacked or suspended and given most of the PO are so far out paypal will cover you since the PO policy on eBay is 30 days. With a close to 1k price tag no way I'm risking eBay. And that doesn't even consider customer service. The best you will get thru eBay is a return. With sideshow if th head is bad or th arm or whatever they usually offer to supply a replacement part. eBay is just way to much an unknown and a risk. Not worth it

Yeah like everyone else is saying, I'd order through Sideshow. I've only used eBay to snag a couple of sold out figures that Sideshow no longer carries. All of the sellers with whom I did business were legit, so based on those sales I trust eBay for the most part. Still, I feel far more comfortable ordering through Sideshow.

I have had good luck with Alter Ego Comics. Always had good customer service, and items have always arrived safely.
 
The joys of having a house....unfortunately I'm in a 1BR apt :lol
:lol If that were me I'd be selling every single box on eBay.

:hi5:

I only order from SSC just to be safe

I primarily use SSC & BBTS. AE is also equally as safe as well as other reputable NA dealers.

eBay is pretty safe as long as you make sure the seller you buy from is legit with a long track record, otherwise you're gambling. Bought lots of figs off eBay with no regrets yet. :)
 
What eBay seller that took PO's died? Yikes.



I don't recall the name of the seller off hand. It was a couple years ago. I hadn't PO from them but bought something in stock and never got it. Filed a complaint after they attempted to close the account saying it was due to the owner died. Obviously couldn't verify it.

But given it can be 12-18 months from time an item goes up for PO and it ships (or longer) I'm sure it's happens a few times a year at least.

Even if it didn't there's just way to much risk with zero protection.
 
Oooooooh...they put the jackhammer arm on it this time! I hope this means it will be an accessory to Hulkbuster and not some "sold separately" crap like Veronica was. [emoji38]


It appears my suspicions may be right. Veronica has to be sold seperatly due to shipping weight. I'm also wondering If Hot Toys may in fact create a larger than planed Veronica with light up features and accessories. Time will tell.
 
I am seriously considering placing my order for HB. Initially the price put me off but if HT plans to include some bonus items like Veronica and a switch out arm or two than that has me interested.
 
The working theory is that Veronica will not be included.

Yeah, I know. I hope they include it and that's the sense I got from reading their Facebook post about it. I noticed that Sideshow took down their coming soon page about it so maybe that is a sign that it might be included.
