Ok. I think I have decided. I want to get my first hot toys the Dark Knight + Bruce Wayne + Alfred Pennyworth set. But where should I preorder it from.. Need advice on how reliable the sellers are...and other things I should watchout for. Any case like you pay for the Preorder but yet fail to get your items when it being released? and they refund the money to you?
So far I think I have 2 choices:
1. XL toys: Preorder I believe I have to pay full amount? Actually im pretty poor this month cause CNY is near and I have a trip before that. Almost 100% certain will get nag by my gf.
2. Toywiz/Toygarden: from website preorder deposit only rm 150. But I wonder will they treat it not that seriously.. Maybe not enough stock when the item has released and decided to just refund my deposit? That definitely will screw me kao kao.
Mind sharing some experience? seriously im more nervous than excited now.

I usually just do preorders from a trusted seller in FB toy groups. Or yeah, XL Shop is definitely awesome.

well, figure it out or get another hobby dude =/
not like we gonna buy it for you as a birthday gift
This guy might not have read or understood what you're trying to say.
The hobby is up to anyone to join. Heck, even I'm having difficulties buying everything I want.
That's exactly why there are preorder deposits and flex payments.
The part where you save up and work towards getting a piece that you want is what makes it all the more worth it.
If you're rich as all hell and can afford anything you want, it's not all that rewarding imo.
