    If the refund was given using the PayPal "Issue Refund" function (only usable 60 days from purchase), your money is refunded in the method you gave it, and at the same currency rate. HOWEVER, if PayPal collected the foreign currency directly from your credit card (which they ironically forced me to do in this case), they will refund the foreign currency to my card, which means I'll likely get burned just due to the difference in Buy / Sell rates.

    I'm going to finish what I started with Buster and just keep my fingers crossed.

    I've had no problems with Toy-wholesaler and yes I did get that case of Sideswipes no problem. But I was checking the site fairly regularly before placing the order at the lowest price.
    I haven't a clue as to why orders are being unfufilled. Maybe the manufacturer is hedging bets and producing less. Look at the shelfwarmers like Henkei Megatron, Streak and Ironhide. Discounted and still not moving.
    I'll be using them again for the Alternitys and have orders for the Device Label stuff as well. Bear in mind I only have small orders of 1 case at a time too.

    I've got the preorders for Encore Skids and Alternity Black Megatron placed with them. I am a bit nervous and am thinking of going with HLJ or RobotKingdom for the Vol 3 tapes.

    Yes I've noticed those problems you guys had. I'll just stick with my hlj orders.

    But the thing is, those that got burnt are still happy to keep going in on these orders. I dunno getz eet. I woulda dropped them straight away. And, you have to pre-pay? Screw that.

    TW debactle
    disappointed to see some negative aspects from fans come out in a time where community unity is important, Jay and especially Blackie are great people , they are the ones at every fan meet and selflessly devote their time to benefiting others, getting upset at them or the matter doesn't achieve anything, it proberly makes Blackie feel even worse knowing how upset every1 is, i for one am not was not part of the pre-order but felt really guilty i could pay for my Bruticus order due to just starting the uni. year and really broke until recently. You guys got plently of good s#it of Blackie so lets be thankful yeh?

    Yes please just try to discuss Toywholesaler here, not the actions of any members.

    I have two orders with Toywholesaler that I'm now committed to, but have no intentions of doing another one with them and would prefer to shop at HLJ or Robotkingdom.

    One other issue with Toywholesaler is that they expect payment in full for preorders and then throw in shipping costs when the item is available.

    So I've asked people to pay me now for Skids and Megatron and I have to ask them again for money when the order comes. It's not the nicest situation to be in, but as organisers of group buys we need the deposit from the other people in our group as much (maybe more so) than the seller we're buying from needs our deposit.

    I can understand needing people who are really committed to pony up some cash with these things, (group orders), but it's the seller (toywholesaler), that I'm saying screw that to. Exchange rates are changing too much to logically do that.

    I really feel sorry for the organisers. You guys end up paying more in the end to what was originally a saving of a few bucks.
