    Hey guys even tho I love my Stomp I got yesterday there is one thing I wish FansToys would have done is found a way to integrate his weapon storage,kinda like Takara does for their Masterpieces with a slot here or a peg hole there.Does anyone else agree?

    WOW TFS just updated. Wont have my Stomp until Monday lol.
    I will never order from them again. I ordered it the day it came in stock in like the first hour.
    Look I'm really not upset about waiting but It's the lie. They must of never had them in stock until Friday. I should of waited and shipped my POL. Lesson learned!

    As per my entire experience with this set..... Chrome blemishes and scratch marks right out of the box. I need new tail and shoulder wing pieces as the chrome is all spider webbed. :| need a new dino head as there is a scratch on it as well. Interesting there was no QC pass sticker on mine......

    I agree. I think it's important on forums such as these to warn each other about bad retailers/e-tailers and to take notice of good ones. when everyone has a good buying experience it reinforces the fun aspects of the hobby.
    Til all are one!

    No Stomp for me yet, Toy Dojo received and shipped them Saturday(beat that TFS), but I did however receive a nice shiny new sword for my Scoria from the man himself, DalianJJ.

    I agree that people are entitled to their opinions. there should be a place on the forum to privide feedback and discuss feedback about various retailers. But I do not think that place should be within a thread about the figure itself. Its like those 1 star reviews on amazon that are only rating the seller. It detracts from the topic at hand and needlessly dilutes the conversation. Just as my meta post about this topic and the responses to it.

    Ultimately I stand by my initial sentiment that the tone of these comments rings of pouting spoiled children. "Where is MY toy? EVERYONE has the toys except ME!" I will never deal with X company EVER again due this OUTRAGEOUS treatment!" The total lack of patience and restraint is absurd and hollow. They will of course use the place again if they have a better price or it's available sooner. Once these people get their instant gratification this week its on to the next plastic idol they are worshiping and obesessing over. It gets so tedious seeing grown ass men behaving in this way. I assure you if any of your children behaved this way regarding something they compulsively desired, youd put them in check. Basically if a company doesnt provide the service you expect, deal with them
    Directly and of they dont make it right by all means share the experience, just not here in the discussion for the toy.

    I think it has to do more with the blatant lack of communication and apparent lie that TFS did, there are people who ordered tuesday when it said it was in stock that had it ship on monday, which goes against what they advertised. Most people are patient if they are kept in the loop and not lied to

    I'd be fine if something took longer as long as I knew it was going to take longer

    ships same day doesnt mean ship 5 days later.

    from appearances they only got a limited stock and were happy to take more orders than they had and passed it off as if they were ready to go

    some people ordered the first day from TFS and had them some still dont have em

    this thread doesn't represent a total review score of combined product and retailer scores either (like amazon), so I don't see the harm.

    if this thread had a 1/5 star rating and it was due to TFS's shitty practices, and not the quality of stomp, there would be problems. but that's not the way it works here so I don't see the issue with people posting their gripes. especially when it is one retailer in particular that burnt a lot of people (and has a track record of doing so frequently).

    Poor Spike!
    You do make a very good point, perhaps the Admins could make a dedicated section for it, I've seen it on other forums. The good, the bad, and the ugly....

    Must have been one of the lucky ones
    Right? My Wife won't even touch them for fear of breaking my preciouses....

    Pretty much immediately transformed Stomp into Dino mode when I received him yesterday and he is so f'ing glorious in Dino mode that I don't wan't to transform him back. I do want him in bot mode as well since he is so imposing.....I think it's inevitable that I will be double dipping on this one. I'd love for them to do a blue version (like Scoria) even if it's not canon for a second one, but I'll just have to decide between a double or wait for the X version.

    God damn, he is so damn beautiful!!!

    Since such a sub-forum doesn't exist to extol the virtues or faults of a seller, people seem to use the thread at hand to outline the issues they had with a specific figure. If you haven't noticed, that happens all over the place here. One example is the KO OS Optimus thread, where people were able to discuss getting ripped off by a particular seller as well as post their positive experiences with other sellers - seem relevant to me. Take TFSource's shipping practices with regards to Stomp - many of those who had preordered and payed last week just had their item shipped today. If TFS didn't have the items in stock, then it should have said so on their website and advertise as such. Why then did those who didn't have a preorder get their items shipped before those who did have a standing preorder? Like I said before, I don't really care when I get my item, but don't BS me and tell me one thing when it's obviously not true. If you're OK with being lied to then that's your problem. It has nothing to do with restraint or patience and you fail to see this. This isn't the first time I (and others as well which points to a pattern of behavior) have had an issue with TFS and I gave them another chance, which, as it turns out, led to the same result - so shame on me. So I won't be bitten again and am perfectly fine with pointing that out in this thread. The topic at hand is Stomp. A seller who pulled some crap shipping Stomp is perfectly at home in this thread just as much as posting how excited you are to receive yours. As a counterpoint to TFS's actions - The Chosen Prime pulled a skeleton staff to ship items last week when they were on the road to Cyber City Con. People should know when someone goes above and beyond and this is equally at home as pointing out deficiencies as it relates to the thread at hand.

    Anyone else here ordered from Primetoys? I'm still waiting on my Stomp from them. I'm missing out on this. I preordered it back in December. This might be my first and last time ordering from them. Not a happy camper.
