Re: Scammer Hot Toys web-shop
Hi all,
I am a long time fan of Hot Toys products and I have an extensive collection. My ears certainly pricked up when hottoysonlinestore came online and initially much like most people I was hesitant to purchase through him at first. I figured with the safety of PayPal and his returns policy which is stated on his website I didn't have much to lose. So I purchased a Jack Sparrow Hot Toys figure. Here is the post that I copied from over at OSW regarding my experience;
G'day all,
I've been a long time collector of Hot Toys figures and a long time lurker on these forums without ever registering. Much like Steve74 I would also like to share my positive experience with hottoysonlinestore. It's refreshing to finally see someone selling sold out/rare Hot Toys figures for more realistic prices rather then the ripoffs you see on ebay so i will happily promote his store and keep giving him my business. I placed an order for Capt Jack Sparrow last week Thursday and paid US$220 including shipping via EMS (received figure yesterday). This price is more than $40 cheaper then SideShow which is where I have mostly bought my figures from in the past. As I wrote on the thread regarding hottoysonlinestore on the offical Hot Toys facebook page , the guy had fantastic costumer service, great communication, posted almost instantly after payment and I had US$10 deposited onto my account for making my first purchase. Really positive experience and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He also went to the effort of calling me after I received Jack Sparrow to see if I was happy with everything and if I had any suggestions to make his business better.
I have just put an order through for DX Joker for $350 including EMS delivery so I should be getting it early next week. I'll let you know how that goes. Even more exciting for me was the brand new Batman Tumbler I got for US$850 including delivery (obviously not EMS). The guy had two in stock and appologies but I took the last one. I've had my eyes on these things for a while and you would be lucky to grab one on Ebay for $1500. The guy is pretty accommodating when you haggle the price down and I suggest you try this to get it a bit cheaper. Also, for spending over $300 I got $20 store credit much like you do over at Sideshow.
Now onto Jack....... definitely an original Hot Toys product. Comes with the Hot Toys brown cardboard box and all. I noticed Steve74 said his figure shipped from China......mine came from Hong Kong. I've included a couple of pictures (sorry for the bad quality but my camera is out of action at the moment so I had to use my mobile) of him and I can honestly say that Jack is the best Hot Toys figure that I Own. Even beats T800 from T2.
I'll let you all know in a few days how DX Joker is.
I look forward to hearing more people's feedback on this store. I hope that these positive experiences will be widespread as this could be a fantastic place to purchase those rare Hot Toys figures at what I would consider reasonable prices. In addition, their prices on new releases are also far more attractive then most other stores. I will post on here as well early next week once my DX Joker arrives.
