Had similar experiences. I prefer ordering on Amazon because I can buy Amazon gift cards to pay for my stuff instead of using my credit or debit card. It like a preorder isn’t even a guarantee you’ll get the item. The whole reason most of us have to buy online is because of poor distribution and exclusives. Definitely a factor that takes the fun out of the hobby. I’m glad I’m to a point that I have what I’m happy with to represent my fandoms. If I want to swap it with something new, at least being content won’t make me give I. To FOMO.

I’m just about there with my DC Multiverse collection where I have about all the characters and variants I am looking for. There are around 10 that I have to have if announced though :)

I often pre order through Amazon only to find that same figure in stock at GameStop weeks before it's scheduled to ship. I purchased a GameStop pro membership for $25.00 which gives me $5.00 a month off store purchases. Much less expensive all around, the pro membership pays for it's self.

I did the GameStop membership a couple of years ago and wound up buying several figures that way. It really is a good deal!

Thank you for the kind comments. I appreciate that! I feel like I am always preordering so I don’t miss out and I still miss out anyway. I think I will just wait until it hits stores from now on.

I hear ya. I'm still waiting on the Killer Croc glow in the dark and the camo tumbler I preorder off Amazon back in May! I'm still kind of hopeful I'll get one since they haven't cancelled it...yet.
@eterniastoys4 ай бұрын
That camo tumbler is going to be sweet! I wanted it but was just completely out of room. I can hold maybe one more vehicle and I have heard rumors they will make an 89 batwing so I am holding out.

@eterniastoys Yeah, I'm excited about the Batwing. Fingers crossed it doesn't sell for another $300 lol!

Hello. First time here. Your video popped up in my feed. My Amazon orders either get pushed back or canceled almost every time for McFarlane figures. While on the other hand, I often get McFarlane figures directly from them before reviews start popping up. I recently got Darkseid so early I didn't know if the problem with the arms popping off was QC or a design issue on everyone's because there were no reviews for over a week.
@eterniastoys4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you found the channel! Sounds like you have the same problems I do with Amazon. I have had one smooth transaction with the McFarlane store directly but the others have been delayed. That Darkseid shipment was very quick and I wonder how close you are to the distribution center? Thanks again.

If it wasn’t for the shipping cost I’d order from them every time of if I was that close.

I collect WWE figures and occasionally, I will order something off of Amazon and that same thing has happened several times. It will say arriving today by 10 PM when it hasn’t even shipped . It’s super annoying, especially when it’s an Amazon exclusive, and you’ve already been waiting for several months.
@eterniastoys4 ай бұрын
I don’t even understand how they can tell you they are going to get something to you by 10pm when they obviously don’t even have it in their warehouse. It’s crazy to me how the whole system operates.

Preach brother. It seems pre orders from mcfarlane take forever
@eterniastoys4 ай бұрын
For real! I don’t think I am going to pre order anymore unless I think there is a 0% chance I will find the figure in stores.
