Sam, I am pretty knew to this site, but I feel your pain. Toy Rocket is an elite group of scum bags! I used to go through them for some of the harder to find 25th ann. They always deliver way past their quoted times. I went like a month and 1/2 on a preorder item and just told them to forget it. Every order with them turned into a nightmare. I honestly think they would take orders and go out and hunt for them, buy them and then send them to you. I don't care what anyone else feel about Toy Rocket going under, I say let that be a leason to other scum bag companys! I hope you either get your order or your money!

Sucks for you guys.. they are still selling shit on ebay - and a buddy of mine pre-ordered some stuff from them and he never got it.
He is going through paypal but that screws him for 30 days until he gets his money back |

Chapter 11 is total bankruptcy, so if you paid anything I bet you wont get your money back. I could be wrong, but you might want to consult a lawyer.

Sam,
I'm sorry for your troubles. I've never done any business with Toy Rocket, but I do feel your pain. I'm glad you already consulted a friend in the legal business because I was going to advise you to file a claim with the bankruptcy court handling the case. If you prepaid for items then they clearly owe you money, you are a creditor, especially if they have no intention of sending you the product. Your friend is correct that you may have to wait in line behind those owed large amounts, but file your clain none-the-less. Chapter 11 does not necessarily mean that they will continue to do business as that depends on how the process is litigated and their debts. As another member eluded you may have recourse through PayPal or your credit card company. If you used a Postal MO I'd have a hard time believing that you could prove fraud unless you could show that they kept taking money with no intention of furnishing product, ex: they placed no orders from the manufacturer or wholesaler. Thier lawyers would probably just say they went bankrupt and the MO was cashed earlier in good faith before the process began. Anyhow, good luck and I hope you're made whole. |

I actually know one of the guys who is a part of Toyrocket from back in the day when I worked with him at a retail store. They also are affiliated with 2 stores here in Sacramento...they have always been shady...ALWAYS. They would always get stuff that was exclusive to retail stores like Walmart and Target, TRU...they would get it by the case load. Then you would see guys working at all those stores who were always hanging out in the Toyrocket stores as well...not to mention 2 or more UPS drivers hanging out with them. o.0

I ordered the SDCC stuff, they asked that items be prepaid. Other stuff is charged as it becomes available.
I had the Wonder Twins and that dumbassed monkey ordered with Toyrocket, was charged in early June, God only knows if I'll get it now. BUT for what it's worth, did have the JLU Green Lantern 3 pack and was told today it shipped. Go figure.... Tried calling them all day, nothing...I guess they're hiding in a cave. I'm in Canada, so I need to get my stuff wherever I can. |

Aargh!!!
I've got an order with them for the wave 5 vehicles!! Thank you so so much for posing this, I had JUST torn it in half and thrown it away because I thought it was junk mail, since the top folded sheet has an ad for online bankruptcy noticing. Now I'm taping it up like a moron. I decided not to play it safe with someplace like Entertainment Earth, since ToyRocket's set didn't include a Ghost Hawk, and I didn't want to deny someone a vehicle that would end up sitting around m house since I dont have time for sales, trades and shipping. This is prett frustrating. I am extremely stupid in matters like this, so if anyone gets any info, please let me know! |

i always wondered how a site like that could charge so much more than other sites and stay in business.
if you were looking for toys, how do you end up buying there? granted, their prices keep some merch around longer than other stores, but still. |
