>>8977150I pre-ordered pic related from this one store. Local store. Wouldn't have ordered from them normally, but they were the only one carrying him locally, so I did. I checked reviews and apart from a few really bad cases here and there, there seems to be a lot of good reviews. Tho, I notice they were more so for in-stock orders and not pre-orders. So, I payed my $30 downpayment and got to waiting.
Later on it was a month after the figure was released and I asked them about what's the hold up, and they said the manufacturer hasn't shipped, that was fine since we usually get most figures here 1-2 months after release.
The figure lost to my mind for about 4 months, and when I remembered it, I asked them again what was going on. They said they hadn't shipped yet, but that seems impossible. I told 'em to just give me a refund, but then they blocked me on their social medias where they usually deal their shit. I made noise over some other groups but nothing happened, and they also removed their "reviews" section on their page.
It wasn't enough that I basically lost $30, but this figure went on to become horribly overpriced in the aftermarket. Later used the money I was supposed to spend on Horobi to buy Valkyrie instead.
