Mars Toys 89 Alfred

[sabin23]

Yep, he does. As long as you have an account you should be accruing points. I usually get an email from Kit letting me know my order is confirmed, it’s a preorder, the balance will be due upon arrival to the warehouse, and then deposits the reward points to my account.

It’s been so long I don’t know if you need to opt in but there is definitely a rewards program.

Kit also includes a scratch off ticket with almost every shipment (occasionally I do not get one) for a chance to earn somewhere between $5 to $500 in store credit.

I’m not sure what the odds are to win but I’ve only had one winning ticket ($10) in the several years this perk has been provided.

Giantoy’s website is probably easier to navigate to find products and they have a longer cutoff dates to PO than Kit.

Kit usually has all the latest POs on the front page, but once they slide off the front page, it’s more difficult to track them down.

IIRC, Kit’s site lets you enlarge the product photos better than GT - GT lets you zoom in the sub-photo but not enlarge.

I ordered Alfred last week through GianToy as he was sold out with Kit at the time and its my first purchase with them. Wasn't worried about their quality as a reseller but glad to hear others use them frequently too. Should have it tomorrow or Friday.

I have an incredible growing collection of these colorful cards, all with the same $1 code.

What can I do with all these cards...?

You should be fine if you stick with OSK, GT, TNS.

On the American front, SSC, EE, BBTS and SpecFic are all reliable.

The only store I’ve had issues with was Toy Origins and I think they are based in Canada - bad customer service.

Open Vault Collectibles was another bad one - I was tempted to order with them but their prices were too good to be true so I passed. I read in the Statue Forum, the company suddenly disappeared recently.

I got 3 claims for $10 card and 1 claim for $50 today

I was hoarding them in my drawer but recently tossed them out.

Click the word "PREORDER ITEM" then it will show everything on preorder

Do the $1 cards accrue -- meaning, can I use them all on an order? Or is Sabin right and I should toss them out except the most recent one?

yes you can use them when ordering, one code per order so it save you $1 every time

Can I use that code in conjunction with a different code, like one provided by bloggers?

Or is it just one (1) code per order + your reward points?

one (1) code per order + reward points

OK, good, understood. I always wondered about that, been meaning to email you.

Can rewards point be applied to PO?

I remember you cancelled a PO a few years ago when I used rewards but not sure if the policy has changed. It used to be in stock only.

Reward points can be used as preorder deposit on site

Got my Bruce Wayne and Joker yesterday from you Kit, thanks. And no customs charges. It was a good day.

 

[sj2106]

Supposedly my Alfred is arriving tomorrow but it's Royal Mail so we'll see.

 

[Richard Gruber]

GianToy is just as good as Kit.

Almost as good...hahaha

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Almost as good...hahaha

Right. Almost. Lol.

GT definitely has a better website to deal with. Ugh..

I do like how kit keeps his finger on the pulse of the community by engaging with us from time to time. Dude is always around. Good stuff.

But GT is solid for sure.

 

[Chopper Face]

OK, good, understood. I always wondered about that, been meaning to email you.

The problem is that it’s the same code on every card so, if Kit offered a system of
entering your codes to accrue points, one could theoretically just do it forever and never pay for another figure again.

Also, once you’ve received one of the €1 cards, you can use it on infinite orders.

Although, even knowing that, I still forget about it every single time.

After getting Mr. J and ordering Wayne I'm tempted by this figure now. Haha, definitely don't need it or really have space for it.
