Many of you may have noticed that the newer Hot Toys Announcements have not made it onto our site. We have made a conscious decision to no longer offer pre-orders on Hot Toys items. Only when the item arrives into our warehouse will we then add it into our inventory. There are several reasons for this and the most important one is the fact that the dates in many instances get pushed out and out and this generates an enormous amount of e-mails and calls as to where is the item and why is it late etc.. Also since 9 months to a year may go by before an item is released and credit cards expire and then it becomes a game of cat and mouse to get updated CC info. If the item has under-performed then you rarely get it and if the item has become extremely rare then you get a call back. We just decided it is easier to avoid all of this and those who frequent the site and catch us at the right moment will get a score on a potentially long pre-sold out item when it arrives and is added to the inventory. We will keep an eye out on this plan of ours and may revert back, but we want to see how it works for a bit.
