    This is the wrong image macro for my reply, but it's too great not to use it:

    Is deep discounts legit? I have never ordered from them before, but I’ve been tempted.

    They are legit, but they do have a tendency to cancel pre-orders from what I've heard

    So I ordered Rodimus Prime, Castle Grayskull, and some other figures with the “too good to be true” pricing. A lot of people had their orders canceled. I did the order last night… how quick did people get their cancel notices? I see they’re still showing available and in stock (except for Rodimus, whose listing was removed altogether).

    I was actually about to pull the trigger on Castle Grayskull yesterday and then saw this.. $41 is nuts! so here’s hoping!

    I was able to order a MP Skywarp + Kingdom Scorponok and Kingdom Tigatron for $179 shipped. Seeing how some folks already received cancellations has me a little worried, but for the price I had to bite.
    So far I have only received an order confirmation.

    Yeah, I got order confirmations (did second order when I found more MOTU stuff I wanted) and they’re both showing in my order history. Crossing fingers. If they get canceled, I won’t be mad, just disappointed. Like I said, the prices are too good to be true.

    Planning on canceling my order, so far the only item they canceled is shadow panther but instead of the listed $7.16 it charged the cancelation notice is claiming it was only $6.09

    Did you use a 15% off discount code? If so, that's how they got the $6.09.

    That might be it, not sure if it was an error because they gave me the cancelation notice yesterday but my order is unchanged on the site

    So I had Rodimus Prime in my shopping cart for months, and he was still there despite being listed as sold out on the site, so I ordered him and he went through. Still no notification of him being cancelled, so fingers crossed that I'll be getting a $32 Rodimus Prime pretty soon.

    I checked out with a MODOK yesterday just after he sold out and got a cancellation within the hour. Pretty sure it won't work.

    My guess based on the numerous reports of cancelled orders is that they're a bait and switch. Lure you in with some too-good-to-true discounts, hope that you buy some more stuff while you're there to get to free shipping or just because you like what you see, then cancel the discounted item because they 'ran out' due to high demand. Of course, they knew the demand would be high because the prices are abnormally low, but then they have plausible deniability for cancelling the order and hopefully you bought something else.

    I could be wrong, its just the only explanation that makes sense to me. If they weren't cancelling orders, I would just guess that they legitimately want to get rid of old stock to make room for new stock, but the cancellations suggest to me that they plan on getting your attention with low prices.

    well the other issue is they were letting you buy items that said ‘back ordered’ for some reason. I am pretty sure all those got cancelled. I wasn’t fully paying attention to that at first so I think I probably ordered some back ordered items.

    I've had no problems with ordering from them with in-stock items. Pre-orders are a hit and miss from what I've read.

    Unfortunately their website interface is a bit primitive.

    Thanks for the heads up. I missed Rodimus, only got a Tigatron as far as TF goes, but I loaded up on MotU stuff!
