An interesting story about getting this figure. I decided too late that I did indeed need the 3 Peters on display so I ordered Holland and Toby and got on the waitlist for this figure. I thought it'd convert immediately. About two months ago I decided to order the in stock figure from Toys Wonderland. Before you all get your pitchforks and torches out, I knew exactly what the issues were with them but I also knew that as an in stock item if they didn't deliver in a reasonable time I could file a claim with PayPal and likely win.
So....they did the usual creation of a DHL global shipping label and it sat dormant for three weeks. All the while I hit them with a weekly e-mail asking for an update, knowing full well I would likely never get one. After three weeks I filed a dispute with PayPal. The dispute took about two weeks to settle, but ultimately settled in my favor and I was given a full refund. I thought that was the end of the story...
About a week later, I started getting text messages from DHL that my package was on the move! Sure enough, five days later, Garfield Spidey landed on my front porch. No email or any other communication from TW. Keep in mind, I've walked back into a grocery store before because I had a case of water on the bottom of the cart that I forgot to pay for, so I'm a bit conflicted by this turn of events.
Fast forward to today (with my Garfield Spidey in my display) and I get an email from Toys Wonderland stating that they can't ship my Spidey because there was a dispute filed with PayPal and I was awarded a refund. Through all of this, they still can't reconcile that they shipped the figure out. I didn't want a free figure, I just wanted the figure at a good price. I am, however, going to keep said free figure... The TW folks are not just crooked, but apparently incompetent...
