1/6 Spider-Man: Far From Home - Mysterio's Iron Man Illusion Collectible Figure

Toys Buying Agent. Free shipping and reusable discounts codes on his website. Bought a couple of figures from him now, great service. Haven't bought from Sideshow in about 2 years now.

Hey fellas, for those who have purchased from Toys Buying Agent, do you know if they have a reward or referral system?

I'm contemplating buying a couple items from them and I'm going through their site right now, but I don't see any mention of accruing reward points or anything, does anyone know? Thanks!

They dont, but on their front page they have unlimited use discount codes.

Just put the money you?d save on shipping/taxes/etc into a pot and there?s your reward points

Haha you bring up a valid point! Anyways thanks for your response.

I mean the money saved obviously outweighs the brown shipper, but was just curious. Thanks for letting me know though!

Heresy! I thought the brown shipper was the most important part of any Hot Toys purchase!

It is...but sometimes saving money outweighs the box! Please do not judge me for my backwards priorities!

Anybody have had positive experience with Toys Buying Agent?

I've received so far 1 of my many preorders from TBA. Fast shipping, packed well, but just an FYI no brown shipper, but that's pretty standard when buying from Hong Kong sellers.

Yep, I've had positive experiences with TBA. Even a die-cast War Machine I'd bought from them arrived well!!

 

[Zurdo95D]

Also, crazy that HT makes figures with less than one minute of screen time!

You forgot about the Iron Man multiplier effect. If the character is Iron Man or an Iron Man variant, the screen time is multiplied by 100 to calculate its "effective screen time", as used in the formula to determine if a figure is made or not. The reverse of this is the villain multiplier effect, where the actual screen time is multiplied by 0.02 to calculate the "effective screen time".

Not too surprising when you consider that they make many we ZERO screen time - often making up their own color combos/designs.

Did your War machine come with the brown shipper?

Good points!

Did your War machine come with the brown shipper?

Yeah it did come with the brown shipper, no double box but came heavily bubble wrapped.

No double box? So they mailed War Machine in the actual shipper box itself?

Yeah it comes with the brown shipper, then has a bunch of bubble wrap around it (with a wrapping type paper on the outside), and it arrived in good condition with a clean shipper box!

This is how I received the Hot Toys Shuri from Popculcha; brown shipper wrapped with a good amount of bubble wrap with the lablel taped on the outside. Shipper and figure were in great shape coming all the way from Australia to the US. No complaints with this method from me!

Ah okay, I understand your explanation now. Thanks guys!

Hey so from those that have purchased from TBA, how long does it usually take from initial purchase until your order is shipped?

Also, I had a bit of a weird "conversation" with whoever mans the support chat. I simply inquired what their policy was when it comes to dealing with a potentially defective item and the person on the other end accuses me of being "Alex" and that he'll cancel my order. I was very confused and told him I wasn't Alex and that I want my order NOT cancelled and that I was merely asking about their policy...the person still thought I was "Alex" though...very odd experience...so now I'm questioning if my order will even be processed at this point...

Just a bizarre exchange is all...

You're not fooling anyone Alex...

 

[chrisstbh]

Yeah, claiming not to be Alex definitely sounds like something that Alex would say.
