Has anyone in the UK received their Gandalf from Planet action figures yet? Or even an update?

I'm in the UK and used them for all my LOTR figures up until InArt Gandalf. They used to be so fast at getting stuff in straight after release but when they switched to sea freight, it just takes aeons to fulfill their orders. I waited for two Asmus Nazgul that I ordered in Feb 2022 until April this year!! Was ignored from August last year until I demanded a refund a couple of months ago. Figure has been out so long

Anyway, I'm sure they will deliver but the wait is infuriating. In future I'd definitely recommend ordering from OneSixthKit!

What the hell, waiting 2 years for a shipment is just unimaginable

Just in case anyone on here was still expecting to get an InArt Gandalf from TW that they ordered, this was posted in a TW thread on here by another user:

Expect more of this from Toys Wonderland with other InArt figures since they just leave the preorders open to suck in more money.

What a crock of ****. Not only is this person out the figure they are forced to continue using this ****** retailer to get their money back

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

I love how they blame the supplier for this

Gotta also check to make sure that the "store credit" they're giving even goes through now that they're calling themselves Toys Apollo instead of Toys Wonderland.

This guy needs to be hunted down and arrested for fraud. What a piece of ****.

Finally got Gandalf from Sugo. So much to unwrap, it’s a little daunting, think I prefer being able to see all the accessories when I open the box over having to unwrap.

Ring has the inscription, must be last batch with it only just arriving. Couple of the joints are very stiff/creaky. His beard is parted in two within the container and I kept thinking of this:

Eyes move ok but one seems slightly misaligned, probably have to fix that at some point.
Not sure why he has magnetic forearms in addition to the wrists, guess they got a good deal on magnets so decided to use them all over the place.

I’ll echo what others have said: the wrist pegs and magnetic base are pretty awful, they stand out so much juxtaposed with how much care went into all the other aspects.

Well this sucks!

I have emailed TW every week for months and still yet to receive a reply. Glad I grabbed another Gandalf from eBay (but not a good price). Guess my money for this one is well and truly sunk.

Still loving the figure though!

Did they really have the nerve to say, "The situation is highly unusual and not indicative of our standard practice."? More like "... very typical of our normal expected and well-documented form of practice".

I can't believe they retain customers' cash without delivering on goods. What are they doing with that cash? Pocketing it! Sheer profiteering in the tens-of-thousands of dollars! They can and should issue a full cash refund rather than a bogus store credit.

Honestly, it seems they are neck deep in a Ponzi Scheme, but I wonder at this point if they are pocketing anything anymore. I think they are so far behind on paying everything now. At this point they are stealing from Paul to pay Peter, and stealing from Peter to pay John, and from John to pay Paul.

Reason they give store credit only is because they don't have the funds to give a rightful refund.

Sketchy AF. Essentially fraud.

Trust me, I’m not giving up until I get it. ******* offensive at this point.

I'm so glad I cancelled my pre-order with this company after finding out on this forum how dodgy they are. I lost the deposit, but it's a hell of a lot better than being in this position.

It just sucks for you all and others that trusted them to come through with what you ordered by simply placing your order.

Now your out the money and it may be difficult to track these down at a good price if you weren't able to place an order elsewhere.

I don't suppose on the off chance anyone has a spare right gripping hand? I've been waiting for 2 months kinda given up hope. Mine came with 2 left gripping hands.

If anyone has a spare hand or doubles name your price.

I hope they step up their QC!

Did you contact your retailer or even Inart about it?
