Anyone preorder from Vikingplayground before? How's their service? Packaging?

Anyone preorder from Vikingplayground before? How's their service? Packaging?

I've ordered once from them and was not very pleased. The box they packed it in was very weak, and it looked like someone sat on it. I e-mailed them and never got any response. I won't buy from them again unless it's my only option.

 

[Agentofchaos]

Thanks for the heads up man. Gonna stick with AlterEgo!

I've had good luck with Viking Playground but have also never had any problems with them. You can't really tell how good a company's customer service is until you have a problem.

I have ordered from them a lot and never had any issues with packaging or the wrong products being sent or anything like that though.

 

[Furley_Ghost]

For me, it is very important to have good customer service on these expensive figures. I've had so many issues straight out of the box. The fact that they didn't even acknowledge my issue, really rubbed me the wrong way. The sites that I like so far in terms of customer service are: Sideshow(except I have to pay tax), Alter Ego, Forbidden Planet, Midtown Comics, Cornerstore Comics(tax issue).

 

[Centurion]

I hear ya. Same reason I don't buy from SSC or cornerstorecomics.
CA 9.75% sales tax.

Well caved and placed a preorder. I figured I would cave eventually and better to do it now and save $20. Damn this hobby.

 

[Agentofchaos]

Yep preordered this bad boy. Still waiting for Mark VI EX waitlist to convert

 

[robbiethepainter]

Yeah I missed the Mark VI. I pondered too long and now its too expensive. If it pops back up at AlterEgo when it starts shipping I may pick it up. Or wait and see if Hastings adds it to their catalog.

I am doing a custom figure environment of the race track scene. It is 80% complete right now, but here is a teaser pic of the decals I have designed that has been placed at the bottom of the base:

The pic is not that great. I need to wait till daylight to take some outdoor pics of it. My camera takes better pics outdoors than indoors.

More to come later on.

Cheers,

Jim
