    Had my order for Wave 4.4 canceled from Entertainment Earth. I would have thought that would be a popular one as it had Commander Cody, Clone Trooper, Scorch, in it. In the email they sent they said the manufacturer wasn't going to supply that case number etc... anymore. So yeah my first expierience with EE wasn't good, even if it's technically not their fault.


    Bummer.

    That's a shame. I haven't used them in awhile but I never had any problems with them.

    Yeah I'm not totally blaming them as their email said it wasn't being shipped to them because it got canceled on the Hasbro end. Working in a retail environment I can understand completely, still kinda sucks though. tongue


    I'd still give them another try though, in fact I'll probably be ordering the online exclusive "Kir Kanos" from them in the next couple of weeks. cool

    Probably because no one has recommended them here. When I started the list I began with sites I had personally used. All the other additions/deletions were recommended in this thread. If you have used those sites without problems I will add them.
    Are they all US-based?

    I was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with MovieSword.com? They mostly deal with knives and swords, but also carry a lot of replicas for Star Wars and other sci-fi franchises.

    I'm afraid I haven't. They have some nice-looking stuff though!

    I've got a few of the books. I think most people check closed Ebay auctions for the item(s) in question to get a rough idea of what people are willing to pay for something.

    Thanks. I haven't bought any figures since I was a kid and now I'm just going to collect the Yoda figures and wanted to make sure I don't overpay.

    Would anyone have any recommendations of UK sites in terms of shipping to the US? I'm wanting to import some Doctor Who stuff and am trying to get the best deal on shipping. I like Forbidden Planet's prices, but they don't tell you what they're going to charge for shipping. Another site I was looking at was going to charge me more for shipping than the item I wanted to buy (£18!). I'm hoping to do a lot better than that...

    You can try The Entertainer, but I think they do mostly toys/action figures - not pricier statues and stuff like that. They are reliable - they are a store chain as well as an online site and I know they ship internationally. Unfortunately r2dtoys don't do Dr Who or I would recommend them. I shop at the London Forbidden Planet store but I have had mediocre experience with their online service. I ordered 3 items last year in November and was still waiting for them in January. One was a calendar that was not made, one was a book that never came in stock (despite it being available on Amazon in Dec) and one was a Fett plate. I had to chase them up by phone several times before they told me about the calendar. Of the order the only item I got was the plate. I finally asked for the remainder of my money back and ordered the book from Amazon UK.

    What Dr Who items are you after? I can tell you if I have seen them locally.
