>>6259283>do they ever come back in stockWell, in particular stores perhaps but they usually don't. If you miss out you either have to go after-market or wait for a possible new version
>if they ever go on saleOnly rarely, trying to think of a time when that happened, possibly Amber from Sucker Punch? Usually they just sell out. They don't make too much extra. The good figures always sell out.
>shipping qualityDepends where you buy them from. If you're buying a brand new one that's a preorder or something it'll usually come in its shipping container, ie a thick tight brown box that slides over the decorated box.
It's possibly for that to get crushed but even if that happened the actual decorated box is usually pretty sturdy and there's a lot of space inside to help protect the figure. Everything is packed tightly.
>defectsRare and usually affect the entire run of the figure in my experience.
>are you happy with your purchaseMost people fucking love their first Hot Toys, but overall I think people feel they're getting lazy in their selections and overpriced. If you're buying in now you can't really complain about the price IMO. When I started collecting Hot Toys they were $75.
>dumb questionsGotta learn the answers to these somehow, better to ask IMO than not ask then complain.
