It's very much like an "amazon" type site that boasts free shipping to Australians. The prices are very variable with a couple Generations voyagers at about $40, while rare deluxes can be about $60.

I bought Generations Voyager Sandstorm and Springer for a total of AUD$82.35 shipped.

Most their stock is coming from overseas (mostly USA), and my package took about a month to get to me. They actually shipped my order separately, which was weird. I got my Sandstorm yesterday and my Springer today, even though they were on the same order. The figures are in good shape, but I wouldn't recommend mint in box collectors use the service. My Sandstorm's display box had an impacted corner, which I assume is warehouse 'ware and tear'. I don't think it was water damaged.

They used fairly standard cardboard box for shipping, but very minimal impact protection in the form of scrunched-up paper.

They also have variable feedback ranging from amazing to terrible, but my personal feedback is they're pretty okay.

I'd say if you're looking for a bargain, they're worth checking every now and then.

Bargain?.....Fishpond?.....hahahaha;):D
Very overpriced on most items ...BUT... You can get some reasonably priced items every so often.

They also have some pretty cool stuff like Cybertron Galvatron and Vector Prime.

Again, not the greatest place, but worth checking out for those rare diamonds in the rough.

:eek::eek::eek: Wow there is some expensive items on there. $116 for Apex Amour Breakdown.

I bought that from Big W for $15

Never had a good experience with Fishpond. Last time, they took an order for something they were never able to get (even though it was listed as "In stock"). Took forever to give me a refund.

bought nba jam for the ps3 from them a month or two ago and I just received it...EXCEPT it wasn't the version i ordered! I hope they don't take too long to reply.

You need to understand what Fishpond is - it's 'like' Amazon, where it hosts things from different sellers. Nothing will ever truly be in stock, because it's all independently shipped from 'suppliers'. And most of the time, the stuff there is trawled from international websites and sold at a slight profit. So the Thundercracker that Oberon Sexton thinks is supposedly reasonably-priced will be this one (http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-81414-Transformers-Voyager-Thundercracker/dp/B000M6F42G) shipped to them from Amazon with a bunch of other stuff, and then sent out to you. Obviously that will take time, but if it is actually in stock at Amazon at that price it will eventually get to you. If it is out of stock at Amazon or will result in a loss for Fishpond, they will cancel your order. Likewise, the Sandstorm and Springer were almost certainly these (http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Thrilling-Voyager-Sandstorm/dp/B00ATA2TB4/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1404719936&sr=1-1&keywords=sandstorm) ones (http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Autobot-Springer/dp/B00ATA2T9Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1404719905&sr=1-1&keywords=springer).

Every few years someone pops up on here talking about Fishpond, i feel like this response should be stickied or something! Not only what you said, but after they cancel something they can't source, the product is half the time still available to 'order' on their site. When that happens they take forever to give refunds as well.

[Oberon Sexton]

By the sound of it all, I'm just happy I wasn't shafted with my order like you guys explained. :(

[kurdt_the_goat]

Yeah, actually i just found my last email correspondence with them, when they listed DOTM Skyhammers and then cancelled pretty much all of them (pricing error).

What really shit me off was that (at least at the time) their site said there wouldn't be a charge until the item is dispatched. Not sure what is is now, but they actually charged me a mere 1.5 hours prior to sending the cancellation email!

[ITZTRU]

^^^ I remember many of us getting shafted with voyager DOTM Skyhammers and Shockwaves. Some people got theirs shipped to them. The rest of us 90% ended up getting our orders cancelled and money refunded (after some time). I remember it not even being a case of first come, first served - items were being shipped out to people here at random, despite some people ordering before others. It was a big mess that many of us here learned from.

[yoshi594]

They replied to my NBA Jam Order which they screwed up.

They will now be boycotted. They are a waste of time.

I have no idea where these guys get their pricing from, but if you are desperate for a HFTD Starscream and have cash to burn, you'll find it here:

And here i was about to scold you for recommending Fishpond!
That's absolutely awesome :)

[Ultra Mackness]

Oh I don't know, you can get Starscream with cyber ops Bumblebee for close to $600!

Surely that's a bargain :p

[reillyd]

People knock it, but smaller sized toys are often affordable priced.
