Online Stores

THj · Jan 7, 2006

I thought it might be handy for people who are shopping around through different online stores for collectibles if we made a nice list to reference of lots of different stores. I thought of this because I keep hearing about different stores everyday on the boards, and I was wondering how many I still don't know of, and how many other people have the same problem.
So here are several that I do know:

(Edited by Philip)

Of course, we have to start with the official Star Wars Shop link:

Star Wars Shop

The following companies support Rebelscum and have an excellent track record for customer service. Please patronize them when possible.

Entertainment Earth
Toy Palace
Action HQ
Collectors Gallery
Legends

These are links you may also find helpful:

Action Figure Express
Alliance Collectibles
Alter Ego
Amok Time
Big Bad Toy Store
Big Time Comics
Cinequest
Dark Shadow Collectibles
Federation Toys
Fireside Collectibles
Killer Toys
Most Wanted Collectibles
New Force Comics
Northside Collectibles
OMGCNFO
R2DToys
Razor's Edge Collectibles
Tales of Wonder
The Saber Vault
Things from Another World
Toy Maniacs
Toynk

Deep Discount DVD

EDIT: Thought I'd add all the new ones to this list to make it easy and accessible for everybody

NOTE from Philip: No company may remain on this list if they have unresolved customer service issues. Please advise if issues are known or found.

top notch seller.

oldschool_Jawa · Jan 10, 2006

Here's another to add:
www.cinequest.com

It was mentioned by another forum member in the Props section so I just went and checked it out. They have some great deals going on. Greedo and Tarkin GG bust are only $25!!!!

Should we also put - maybe at the bottom - stores to stear clear from at all costs for fear of losing all your hard earned money and raising your stress levels to the point where all your hair falls out, you gain 100 lbs, lose your job and start living in your mothers basement?
Ok - so I was already balding and I only gained like 5 lbs because of the holidays and my layoff was just a coincidence (at least I didn't move to my mothers basement - yet) but my stress level DID go up because of them.

in any case - Always stay far far away from TitanToys.

Thank you for listening - I'll get off my soapbox now.

I like SWS.com
They are good to me.

I recently had a problem with Brian's Toys.

THj · Jan 11, 2006

OK, adding a few to the top, and yall make sure to share any concerns you have about any of these stores for sure. I'd hated for somebody to try one of the retailors on the list and then get shafted by them!

Nance

Oh boy, I got the links working now!

oblagon · Jan 11, 2006

I'd stay away from TitanToys and OMGCNFO. Have heard nothing but negitive experiences with the both of them. OMGCNFO I know tends to send the wrong or a broken item.

DDDvD appears to be selling some props now and non-SW statues....

They've been selling stuff on Ebay for sometime now. Haven't checked their site, but the prices on Ebay seemed a little high.

THj · Jan 11, 2006

Yeah most of the ones on the site look that way too, but the FX Sabers aren't bad at all.

sithcommeth · Jan 13, 2006

great list of retailers!! nsidecollectibles.com is my preferred one on that list!! great customer service!! and prices are hard to beat with collector's club discount

oldschool_Jawa · Jan 13, 2006

How do you get the collectors club discount?

FU_obiwan · Jan 13, 2006

Nsidecollectibles is a great store to get the 5% customer Discount just contact them and they will take 5% off of your orders from then on out. Also if on your first order you use the code "NSIDE5" you get 5 % for that too, so on your first order you can get 10% off which is a great deal.

Order_66 · Jan 13, 2006

how did you forget the saber vault?

oblagon · Jan 14, 2006

Should we start a list of good/bad sellers on Ebay as well?

I think this is a GREAT idea!!!

Philip_Marlowe · Jan 14, 2006

Anyone else think that it'd be a good idea to make this a sticky thread?

Yes, this should definently be made into a sticky thread.
Here I'll start the list off:
Good -
Toynk

Bad -
Collectors Universe NYC (aka. Markfcg), Terrible email communication and customer service.
mgcj94 , Won a auction for a few SW busts. Never responded to my emails or phone calls of where to send payment. Very shady character.

That's a great question... I'm feeling kind of shamed right now in fact. I even got one of JD's sweet FX Pens last week!

I guess I wasn't really thinking in terms of props when I started this. Oh well neither here nor there... they're on the list now!

zapcity · Jan 15, 2006

I haven't dealt with these 2, but they sell props and some statues among other things...

Big Bad Toy Store and EE are two of the best out there. Their prices (@ both stores) are reasonable, customer service is excellent, and BBTS' Pile of Loot program is awesome - pre-order an item, then once it's in, you can choose when to ship it! Have dealt with
Brian's Toys,
Toy Wiz (rip-off all the way),
Toy Globe (good for Marvel Legends, but expensive shipping, misleading availablility) and,
Bill's Toys and Games (they lost three orders for me and are just now shipping to me - I ordered this stuff in OCTOBER!!)
Just my experiences.

Philip_Marlowe · Jan 16, 2006

I agree with your statement about Toy Globe, they are pretty much a hit and miss on most things and their CS leaves something to be desired.

obi1kevnobi · Jan 16, 2006

All I can say is wow. I just ordered a Sideshow Han 1/4 from Razors Edge Collectibles. Talk about great communication. I even got a shipping notification on the same day. They have won a customer.

sithcommeth · Jan 17, 2006

THj great thread!! good information in here for the scummers!!

THj · Jan 17, 2006

thanks--but hey I did this to help me as much as anybody

Sorry I haven't updated the list in a while; I'm actually getting permission to have this stickyed-stuck-whatever, and I'm gonna need to add some per-Philip's request to it then anyways, so I'm just gonna wait and do it all at once.
