What if other HK stores use the same wholesaler?

That’s what I was wondering.
A lot of dodgy stuff going on with HK sellers these days.

Damn. I hope not.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone buys from places other than Kit. He’s the only one I trust, so much so I even ditched Sideshow on Hot Toys and get those from him now too. You really have to be careful where you buy from.

TBA has got a super solid reputation. On par with Kit I would say, even if less popular.

I’ve bought from TBA loads of times and never had an issue. I’ve bought from Kit with no issue.
Bought from Toys Wonderland and they took 2 weeks to ship an in stock item to me. Wasn’t impressed.

I definitely wasn’t trying to hate on TBA (or Giantoy, while I’m at it), but I do find that they often have slightly higher prices. Kit’s prices are always fair, great customer service and no extortion on shipping charges. Plus he’s here and likes to interact with us. Just always worth starting with him and going elsewhere if he’s sold out, or you missed his preorder window, in my opinion.

That’s because if you order from Toys Wonderland they need to go out and actually source the figure once you buy it. They’re just a reseller and don’t often have stock laying around. If they don’t ship right away it’s because they’re out trying to buy your figure to send you.

Yeah it thought they were doing something like that. Reason I bought from them was the price was so so much better than everyone else.

That didn't throw a red flag at you?

If everyone is at one price point and they're in a completely different one, that's pretty suspicious.

Oh it did throw a red flag and I was aware of issues others were having.
I saved €150 but it took its time to ship.

I guess that's why people gamble on them, for when you actually get that discount and the product, without all the hoops.

Not my thing, they already screwed me twice.

That’s why I gambled. The discount was too big not to go for it. And I got the figure with with no issues just super slow.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

I can vouch for TBA,as I use Timcent a lot.
Sugo toys in OZ are also a supplier of InArt and they have been pretty awesome in all the years I've needed to resort to them.

“can't see the forest for the trees​

An expression used of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole”

Why would trees want you to look at the forest for them, in the first place?

 

[Chopper Face]

Why would trees want you to look at the forest for them, in the first place?

Because they don’t have eyes. Duh.

I could be wrong as I thought OSK only had Battison still up for PO, but I just checked today and looks like they have Gandalf and standard(sculpted) Aragorn back up for PO as well if anyone needs to order after the TBA incident
