HT The Dark Knight figures waiting room

[PsychoCenobite]

Got back from 2 weeks in the US and thought I'd have two boxes from ABC Express but nothing!

Fingers crossed Joker and Bats will come soon!

I just received an email from "Wilred" at animate stating in his broken english that the reason for my order's delay was that Hot Toys did not give him enough product to fill my and many orders in time.(Even though when I brought it from ebay, he said they were in hand and ready to ship). He said not I should receive it no more than two weeks!!! Luckly, I had forgot that I had also pre-order the original batman costomue from BigBadToyStore and they just processed my order today!!! I would like to have two of these figures, but if animate don't give me any type of tracking info or a follow up email in a week, i'm canceling it and disputing the charges.

I received a similar email. I really want this fig asap, so I guess I'll wait a little longer. By the time I get a refund, reorder, and wait for shipping, I should have the fig from Animate. I'm trying to be as patient as possible.

Here is the message:
Hi

many tks ,that you inform me about this.

Due to Hottoys can't raedy all the item , That we order before.

They ready for me this week. So I'll post at the same time

I Promise that , all the cust must the joker & Batman, within 2 weeks.

You can only buy from 'Toy Hunters' at the moment in Hong Kong.
Hot Toys are selling them exclusively in Toy Hunters!

My supplier already has my batch of Batmans but I'm waiting till they get the delivery of the Jokers next week.

Ebay sellers must have been buying from Toy Hunters and selling them on, it also explains why some buyers have got the nice looking bag that you get when you buy from the shop!

Ebayers should be more upfront in the explanations!!

I'm one of those unfortunate to have ordered from this guy (batman original costume). He had no negative feedback when i ordered so I don't understand what happened there.
https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=animate_international&&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&sspagename=VIP:feedback:3:uk
Even though I only ordered on Sunday night, I'm worried I wont be seeing this order come through, for a while.

 

[Furious1]

I think he just over-extended himself by advertising that he had them in hand, even though they were not. Hot Toys didnt come through with his shipment, and he was screwed big time. I think that he is trying to make everything right, and that he is just overwhelmed with everything. I am going to give him a bit more time, and as long as I get the fig, I will leave him a positive or neutral feedback, as he has replied quickly to the messages that I have sent. I guess I am just feeling sympathetic.

First post:

Yeah i have to wait until Oct/Nov. for joker through toys2. Are they pretty responsible with their pre-orders? Its not going to be Oct/Nov. and them turn around and say they arent getting them in..are they? That would suck.

You can trust them. They have excellent service.

I actually don't mind the wait , its never really bothered me.
Kinda sucks though everyone is getting theres now and we have to wait.
Never had a time problem with abc express , I will still use them again.

Watched the mail man drive away again with a heavy heart. Where's my Joker? I'm way to impatient. Feel like Bart with his spy camera.
"wheres my spy camera?"
"wheres my spy camera?"
"wheres my spy camera?''

Didn't show up? Our tracking still says in transit, so i suppose tomorrow is the big day eh? Everyone else seems to have gotten theirs within two days of being in transit.(but ours went through customs on a weekend) Mail has not come yet for me today.

For some reason I didn't think it would be today, but always love surprises. Tomorrow even works better as I have the day off and am gathering reference for a repaint.

Except he had gotten in his shipment and told everyone he had it in, but instead of (I guess) counting what he had he just sold more and then mailed to the people that made the most fuss, then stopped responding to other people. No, he's not overwhelmed, he's just handling everything wrong.

Update for those who ordered their Joker from toys2-- just got off the phone and I was told that they expect the Joker (if there are no delays) by the end of this week.

 

[darthviper107]

Hmmm, this is weird, I just told animate that if it's not shipped soon then I'm going to file a paypal dispute and he'll get negative feedback and this is the reply I got:

tks

Hrm, strange

For anyone ordering from actionHQ, Noel just emailed me and said that the Jokers are shipping out on the 18th August.

Excellent news DN! Thanks for the heads up!

I just got back from talking to my local contact, he told me DC will carry TDK Batman ( one of them) and the Joker. Cost basis for him is 75 a shot. MSRP for everyone starts at 99.99 but they might inflate it across the board.

This is intel I got from a guy who got it from a guy, grain of salt accordingly.

DCDirect or Hot Toys? Sounds like DCD to me.
