Only use Megalopolis. If you’re in Canada use Northmen Collectibles.

STFU compare a spider-man from hasbro from any import one and tell me which is better. If you are an unbiased or reasonable person you’ll say the import fig is better.

I'm honestly in such a bad mood that I don't even care anymore, I'm just gonna write the correct information. Mostly for weebshit because that's what I know.
western
>ebay - If it's from China, don't buy it. If it's not from China, don't buy it if it doesn't have a picture of the actual figure you're buying. Also it's just gotten a lot worse with the fees they take because of bullshit tax laws so avoid selling here.
>Mercari (american side) - It's just an ebay alternative
>Amazon - never buy from a third party seller here, decent chance they're selling a bootleg
>Gamestop, Walmart, Barnes & Noble - sometimes can be useful for finding leftover stock well past release, also sometimes have exclusives
>bigbadtoystore - Decent, but adds ridiculous markup for imported goods and can take a while to ship them
>EntertainmentEarth - Okay
eastern
>Amiami - Decent but you will get banned from the site if you cancel orders often
>Hobbylinkjapan - Less selection than Amiami and no secondhand stuff, but it's an option. Better for model kits.
>Mandarake.co.jp - Secondhand jap stuff (note: Japanese collectors are fucking autistic about the condition of their toys so you can get major discounts just because the box has been opened and the figure displayed for five minutes)
>Jungle-scs.co.jp - Prices vary from great to questionable but a lot of names are strangely translated so be prepared to manually search
>Yahoo Auctions - basically Japanese ebay, will need a forwarding service to get it across the pacific
>Mercari (jpn side) - also japanese ebay
>P-Bandai - if it's listed on this website it most likely won't be listed anywhere else past the pre-order period.
>Bluefin - Bandai's American distribution arm, normally a very limited stock but they can list a lot more during rare events (NYCC and the like) with decent prices

My revoltech harley was supposed to be here in january, but it still hasn't arrived. Its the blue and red one. I had a similar experience with beasts of the mezosoic. They always send the stuff, it just takes them half a year to a year to ship it.

I'm not even sure why? You'd think it'd be their priority to send out the expensive exclusives, but they litterally do not care unless its hasbro shit.

If its not a transforming robot they'll never send it.

BBTS - solid to work with, decent support, preorders take longer sometimes than other sites but I'm patient.

Hasbro Pulse - If you get a bunch of their shit, it's probably worth the $50 charge

Entertainment Earth / Dorkside Toys - Both seem decent, I've gotten decent deals

Zavvi - they ship from UK but randomly have shit for stupid low prices

Mercari - hit or miss, ebay kind of service, sometimes you can find good deals

Other than that there's Ebay, Facebook groups, and the Buy/sale/trade thread on here.

For import stuff there's a delay. But I got my Harleys and wonder woman when it came through. I'm still waiting on my amiami one but I also preordered late so my own fault. I've been using them to buy heman origins stuff but Mattel has them fucked on wave 2. Star wars you should be fine. Basically if it's a preorder they'll fulfill it when they get it in. Which helps with domestic stuff usually. If they have it it will ship out in a few days. And if it breaks enroute They'll ever pay to ship it back to them and replace if they can or just replace.

We get it, you're poor, impatient, or both.

BBTS is the best.

Except..if you were buying the 3rd party legends scaled TFs, I would probably consider trying somewhere else first. It's not a price arbitration thing, because prices on them are way up even at the Chinese stores. It's that 3P legends seem to be _the_ hardest thing for them to get in stock. NewAge will often delay their shipments by 4-6 months and MFT stuff has a 50/50 chance of never coming in at all. Plus it's pretty hit or miss on which figures they'll even offer.

Not if you make sure you are actually buying it from them. Always look to make sure the item is being shipped AND sold by Amazon, and you'll be fine.

I've bought from BBTS a handful of times, but I'd say to keep in mind that what you're getting -will- come at least two weeks later than anyone else, if not longer. Otherwise they've been reliable for me at the very least.
