Online Stores Thread

[K.B.]

So how many of you shop online for figures and collectibles and if so, what sites do you use? I'm starting to dip my feet into this way of pursuing the toy hobby and figured we could use a thread like this on here for the new guys that come in here to look around.

I've used Cornerstore Comics a few times, prices vary from good to typical, pretty good service.
I've also done business with a number of online vendors thru Amazon.com, Decent prices, decent service. I've gotten quite few nifty OOP figures that I missed the first time they were released. I have had to pay some extra moolah on some of the rarer pieces, but I've also found some real deals too. I've seen the exact same figure sold by two different vendors, one charges, say, 200$, while the other charges only 40$, so you don't have to put up with the ridiculous prices some of these jerks charge. I would definitely give Amazon.com a look.

Cornerstorecomics.com- awesome customer service
Bigbadtoystore.com- I love their "pile of loot" function. Great variety of figures and have lots of old stuff, too.
Hasbrotoyshop.com- best place to get hasbro stuff at retail prices. If you're lucky, you can get HTF stuff easily.
ebay.com- Bleh.

I've used both cornerstorecomics and bigbad and both have been good.I'm always looking for deals on ebay too.

Kapow-toys.com is a pretty good site, mainly UK based though.

Hey, question? Are there any online toy vendors that DON'T require an credit card or paypal or something? Is there anywhere I can buy toys and they can bill me and I pay an bit later? I really REALLY want some battlestar galactica figures but i'm low on cash right now.

 

[Darthkush]
