Still no update on my HT Dog Alien on the USPS tracking #... Shipped with Priority Mail on Monday, and he's not here yet? Damn, I'm leaving for vacation soon tomorrow. Wanted to have him before then, just so I wouldn't have to wait a week (which I'll have to do with the T-700 I ordered a couple days back).

So, do they use UPS or USPS, or both? Does it depend on what kind of speed you choose? Have any of you guys recieved your stuff without the tracking being updated? I need my Doggy...

All of my items have come USPS. I had one order with them that I chose the expedited shipping ('cause for some reason it was cheaper than regular) and it came Priority Mail.

Good luck man, your order sounds kind of wonky at best. par for the course I guess here though.

Is anyone interested in Sheva Alomar's weapons and gunbelts? I'm interested in the figure, the boots and the pants. Maybe we can split the costs.

Like 40% you and 10% whoever wants the accessories?

 

[Rotfish]

Guess I'll have to see how it goes. Come 4:00 today (or somewhere around 3:30-3:50), I'll know.
Man, I'm so pumped about this figure... I'll check the actual order status page, for any more info.

Are you paying the other 50%?? DEAL!



Those weapons are pretty nice from what I understand. And the belt looks pretty top notch. Each weapon is prolly about $6 each and the belt easy $40. Seriously, if you take what Toy Anxiety charges its about an even split between the value of the accessories and the items I want.

I can get a cuban body for like $35 and the pants and boots are prob only worth like $12 each...

The boots and the pants are really the only items I need, but of course TA is out of them.

Doesn't matter. Most of the value is coming from the figure herself. Other, arguably better, sculpted weapons can be had for cheaper elsewhere. So the only thing that's really of any unique value is her gear which still don't equate to half the price and most of that's already rotting on TA anyway.

But kudos for trying to pinch that penny.

 

[ProgMatinee]

If "the only value is from the unique gear" is true and most of that gear I'm willing to let other people have, how am I pulling the better end of the deal? BTW, I'm also not interested in the headsculpt which is another unique feature the other person can benefit from.

It seems to me you're saying that the figure is overpriced from HT. Is that my fault? Either way if you're not interested its really not your concern.

Yet another bust with those clowns. I called them up to "verify" my new current order and now they're canceling it again because "my address didn't match the address on credit card" (I just moved to a new home a few months ago) and the fact I have a cell phone attached to my credit card it seemed "suspicious".

Why wasn't this an issue when I made two orders of over $600 prior to this? I asked them that and the "supervisor" said they attempted to call me at that time as well. Total BS. My cell phone always shows missed calls. Honestly, either they're pissed at me for blowing up at them for the previous order or they think I'm trying to profit off their orders or who knows. Either way, I just want my money back again.

Can I do anything about this?

[ProgMatinee]

Are you saying they are still going to charge you?

 

[godaiking]

Well, so far no cancelled order. Last time, they cancelled it immediately. I'll give it a couple of days.

[godaiking]

Plus, I still have yet to receive my order of John Connor and Marcus Wright figures I bought last week.

[ProgMatinee]

their shipping is SLOW. sorry you're having a lot of problems. you get what you pay for. from what I've read you're spending a lot of money, but if they all go through you're saving a lot of money too.

You'll probably find her for cheaper on Black Friday bud.

Again, if your CC was in fact stolen, you'd be praising them for this.

I definately won't be buying Sheva at the current price (about $115) unless I knew someone else was willing to mitigate the price down with me. She'd have to go pretty low for me to invest in her without another collector also being interested.

I'm not looking to profit here, I just don't want to pay $115 for a figure I'd only use the figure(minus the head), boots and pants. I've parted out figures to people at very fair prices. When I buy complete figures at a discount that discount gets passed to my fellow collectors when I part it out and I personally think others should do the same, so I'm a bit sensitive to the joke that I was trying to be on the take in any way.

@ProgMatinee: It's weird, though. Can't be their shipping. Tracking says it left OK on Monday. I'm waiting over here in OR and can safely say it very well could've gotten here yesterday. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't arrive today. Must be USPS's problem, but with Priority Mail (which I've never had the slightest issue with), I've got high hopes for a quick delivery.
I'll just wait and see what happens today, despite the lack of updates on my tracking. If it doesn't happen, guess I'll phone USPS Tracking Customer Service or something. I've got the number, so they should be able to give me a straight answer.

EDIT:

I GOT MY DOG ALIEN! Hells, yeah! Guess it was just one of those weird instances with the tracking. Happened to my dad once. He ordered something off feeBay, recieved it, and two days later, the tracking still shows it hadn't been delivered.

Well, I can safely say I'm happy . This means when I get back from the vacay, my T-700 will be here as well.

 

[ProgMatinee]

i've never actually double checked on tracking numbers, but i find its almost always a very long wait between when I order from them and when it gets to me. i just assume its them. i've had an item from them take over a month to get to me.

 

[leatherneck]

I just placed an order for a Hot Toys Leonidas. Got it for $90.00 before shipping and taxes. The 20% off code worked when I placed the order. Now the wait to see when and if it arrives.

CONGRATS MAN! Glad to hear it got resolved and nothing was wrong or missing.

 

[Deeznutz6]

Are there any discount codes that still work?

DANG! Nice on that one, just went back to order myself one and they are sold out.

However, the Batman DX was back in stock...just snagged one of those for $126 shipped. I used the check local store option and they have it here at one of my local Hastings. Too bad the discounts don't apply in store.

Yeah gohast20 still works....till the end of the month I believe.
