Anyone been told by TLTC when MP Dinobot, Titan Predaking, Deluxe Novastar, Legends Outback and Cindersaur, Titan Master Bludgeon, Bomburst and Octopunch are expected?

I'm waiting on all of these guys and TLTC hasn't told me anything when asked for an update.

I asked them about MP Dinobot a few days ago, this was the response:

"Once we receive the items you will receive a shipping confirmation notice we will be shipping in October"

Well I just had shipping notification for everything except Dinobot, Predaking and Firestar/Novastar. Let's hope everything is in the box when I open it and there isn't something on backorder.

I strongly advise buying another one now and either cancelling your TLTC pre-order or selling it when it arrives (if ever). I ended up repurchasing a number of my TLTC pre-orders and selling the spares. The last one I had ended up being cancelled on me, but luckily I'd already repurchased it last summer.

Geez your constant complaining makes me want to give up collecting sometimes

Geez your constant complaining makes me want to give up collecting sometimes

Shared thought, its why I stay away from the pc threads

I paid less for Dinobot from TLTC shipped than Mandarake is charging before shipping. TLTC are not PC. They have always delivered everything of mine except the few items I'm waiting on now and they are not significantly overdue. They just need to work on their communication.

Last time I dealt with TLTC they didn't respond to my emails until I demanded a refund, overall they fear the backlash and its often what happens, the fact they have paypal as a payment option means you're pretty much covered, that said communication is paramount and while better than PC they're only a slight step above because of how bad it is

As for mandarake prices they can vary, although be wary of the cheap ones peoples, I paid for a second hand TTmall mp11sw and I believe the original owner sold it because it was defective, sure enough it broke during a routine movement, that's what you get for $150aud after shipping (open used box damage)

But yeah, I follow a few other groups that use TLTC, communication is a massive problem they need to address, surely just putting some updates on their facebook page wouldn't hurt now wouldn't it?

Play nicely children. I'm sure Goktimus can speak up for himself, but one should be able to voice an opinion (for or against a store) without it getting to personal attacks and negging

I've placed a bunch of preorders for non-tf products (Star Wars and Marvel), but I expect them to ship a little late given the cheap price they offer. If there's something I really really want quickly, I'd use another vendor or retail. But the ability to buy single characters from a case - that is saving me a fortunate over RK or BBTS. It's definitely a plus.

They're clearly not for everyone. Some of us have had bad experiences (like Goktimus and myself), and some have had not so bad experiences, and some might sail through and always use TFTC with no issues. That goes for a lot of companies. If it works for you, then keep doing it. We all just want to ensure that we get good experiences for our hobbies and collecting, so when one of us has issues with communication, delivery, the product itself etc, we want to just let others know in case issues are more widespread. We aren't complaining as much as we are trying to protect the wider toy collector community because ultimately we all want an easy breezy collecting experience.
