Thanks. I paid through my Master Card and just got off the phone with them. They said that my purchase is covered and that I needed to wait a few more days but that they would refund my entire purchase price. So I guess I don't have to go through the entire Bankruptcy fight, Thanks to all of you for your support.

Thanks for the article links...very interesting to read how he screwed up his AdWords campaign. As someone who works in Search Marketing, it's always interesting to hear how businesses screw up trying to do something themselves. And yes, different people in different industries repeat the same mistakes. Kind of funny in a morbid way.
at those prices too??? hard to believe with all the toy online retailers that you could pull those kind of sales. there are lot's of fanboys out there |

And lots who can't get international shipping from HTS.
The thing is, they did a lot of the right things that probably drove traffic & improved their relevancy so that people who didn't know any better could find them. Especially since they probably showed up as overpriced on comparison shopping sites lol. |

I just arrived home and found a letter in my mail box from the US Bankruptcy Court. The letter states that Toy Rocket filed for Bankruptcy. It says that the filing became official on July 26th, 2009.
The case number given is 2:09-bk-29311-VK So I guess this means any orders placed with them and paid in advance are now lost.

Hopefully everyone paid with a Credit Card, because they should all have protection for that (part of where the crazy interest rates go). With a debit card though, might have to fight with your bank about that one....
Hope everyone can get most of their money back... and if they're gonna try to come thru this, they are really screwed because no one on the 'Tank will order from them (this should be frontpaged imho), and I'm sure the same is true of other fansites. |

I used debit/credit type card, hopefully I can call my bank and work it out. I don't care for getting legal help for under $70, it would just cost me more!
They were the only place I could get a Stinger that wasn't sold out without a Ghost Hawk, but maybe other places have restocked, since I really want these things anyway. If this ends up a lost cause, I really won't be able to enjoy them as much, knoong that they cost me nearly $50 each! Thought I read somewhere here that these may see a ROC release, but who knows if they'll swap figures or snap launchers all over them. Gotta love their "moving sale" on their front page with no mention of bankruptcy. Didn't even get an email. Only place they're moving is back to grandma's house. |

If it were me I would file the proof of claim, and keep an eye on where the case goes. I would think you have a pretty decent chance at either getting your order filled or refund. All this fraud talk is just nonsense.

For what it's worth, I bought a ton of stuff from them on ebay in the last year and had excellent service. I did quit a bit of best offer purchases, and they were excellent to bargain with (as in I paid my bottom dollar on all the items).
