This thread is for posting updates about Movies Unlimited (moviesunlimited.com), such as new pre-orders, coupon codes, etc. Also I will post and update my guide here and maybe even answer a few questions.
Note that in early October, 2023 all Hasbro product was removed from Movies Unlimited's site. Orders placed prior to that are still being filled and items from Super7, Mezco, Threezero, etc. are still listed. Current known working coupon codes as of November 16th, 2023: MU24JAN/MUJAN24 - Free Economy Shipping on any order DEEP10 - additional 10% off (Deepdiscount.com ONLY) Stalemate's Movies Unlimited Guide Ordering Newly revealed pre-orders usually go up the morning AFTER everywhere else. Sometimes two days after. Their pricing sometimes goes up after that first day so I always try to order as soon as possible. They almost always have some sort of 20% off coupon code going which is what makes it worth buying from them. It's usually in the format "MU[2-digit year][3-letter month]" ie "MU23JUN" is the 20% off code for June, 2023 They do a pre-authorization to your credit card when you place the order which drops off after a few days. They don't actually charge until the item ships. Reports from Paypal users is that they charge immediately. Shipping They ship each item as it arrives and shipping is free on all orders over $50. They ship in brown cardboard boxes with air pillows inside of them. Their warehousers typically do a better job of selecting and packing collectibles than walmart, target, amazon, etc. Shipments will be marked as coming from "Alliance Entertainment, LLC" 300 Omicron Court, Shepherdsville, KY, US, 40165 They will use Fedex, UPS, DHL... just about any shipper. For some reason whenever they ship UPS to me they mark it "signature required". Recommend creating a UPS account so you can sign for it digitally or redirect the package if necessary. They do ship internationally but don't offer the free shipping for international orders. The shipping cost will be calculated in your cart before you checkout. Canadian buyers have reported that they sometimes get hit with brokerage fees when receiving items via DHL. Some items are marked "special order" or "additional shipping charges may apply", for example some of the Threezero 12" figures. I've never had them charge me extra for these though. Arrival dates/returns/other info There are no "impending arrival" notifications. The best way to know when they are expecting to get something is to regularly check the "available date" field on the item in question. They update these constantly. You can also do a search and then sort by "available date newest" to get a look at a whole group of items (all Classifed, for example). They get new releases pretty quickly, sometimes even faster than Amazon and other retailers. For example, they got Rock n Roll and Bazooka before Amazon did. An item listed as "preorder" hasn't arrived yet. An item listed as "backorder" means they got some in, usually just enough to fulfill their preorders. They may or may not get more in the future. "Add to Cart" means they have the item in stock right now. Rarely, you may see an item on "preorder" when you do a search for in-stock items. This means they just got a shipment in and that item will change to "Add to cart" the next day. You can cancel items or even entire orders by emailing their customer service, either directly or via the form on their website. They are usually pretty easy to deal with but there is typically a delay of a day or two. Canceled items do not indicate that they are canceled in your order history on their website. Save any emails you get from their customer service so you can refer back to them, just in case. I have had it happen once or twice where an item still ships a day or two after I email them to cancel. My assumption is that their customer service is not in the same location as their warehouses. They provide a return slip with each order. If something gets returned to them as undeliverable they will credit you back automatically (without even telling you!), so the best way to return something is to refuse delivery, otherwise you'll end up paying the return shipping. I've seen them carry products from Hasbro, Super7, Mezco, and Threezero. I have seen a few Mattel products but at higher prices and when I tried to order some they told me it was unavailable. They seem to be owned by the same parent company as Deepdiscount.com, as both ship in boxes of the same style which are marked "Alliance Entertainment", however their pricing and product selection is not the same.

Hawk, Ripper, Buzzer, Shockwave, and Helix all went up for preorder this morning @$21.24 each. I used the MUSEP23 code on four of them to effectively get the price down to just under $16 ea. Helix I put in a separate order along with some Reaction and TVC stuff to use the coupon a second time.

Just got the wave (minus Helix...figure looks good but I don't like the character) for 68 shipped. They have already started shipping the current wave and I haven't had issues with them in the past.

Only ended up ordering Helix and Shockwave from Movies Unlimited this go around. Didn't want to risk anything with Hawk, Ripper, and Buzzer.

I always do backup orders somewhere else, usually Amazon since they are easy to cancel/return to. I haven't had Movies cancel any Classified on me.. yet. I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

Haven't had any Classifieds come in via MU, but my TF order is starting to trickle in... one per package. The poor bastards are probably losing money with Canadian shipping.
They've come in pretty beat up, but who the hell cares, I'm opening them anyway. And with no duties / taxes I think I'm saving about 20% on Canadian retail prices all-in. |

Helix has been introduced into three continuities so she ain't going anywhere.

The new wave is up and I think they finally clued into what we've been doing - the prices are through the roof; a figure is $34.99 regular, reduced to $29.99 for pre-orders.
(Same deal happened to Transformers deluxe figures) So, yeah, buying a full wave doesn't make sense right now. It worked out to $142.95 shipped to Canada, which is about $190 CDN. The new wave is $197.95 CDN from Amazon... but you aren't playing the duty rate / handling fee roulette if they use DHL (it's pretty inconsistent). Maybe the promo code changes for October, but the prices going up by $5 / figure takes away most of the edge MU had before now. Last edited by GeoffDes; 09-27-2023 at 03:10 PM.. |
