Everything's sold out. Some have been released. Some have not.

Some were released. Two of the more popular figures from wave one were severely delayed. Those two figures have slowly been trickling out. The creator regularly sells what might be considered “basics” (figures with minimum accessories) directly from his Facebook page. I’ve bought 4-5 from him. I think with the two delayed figures that the larger e-tailors got their shipments but the smaller ones are still waiting.

I got a request from Locker Toys to cover new shipping costs on my remaining preorder, so I'm guessing the outstanding figure(s) should out soon.

Yeah, absolute bull—-! I will NEVER preorder from these guys again. Holding my 2 year old preorder hostage for $14 upgraded shipping on ONE figure I already paid too much for?! :(

Yeah that stinks. I’m sure the shipping has changed for this due to the massive delays...but I kind of feel like Locker toys should honor the original shipping, but I guess I can see them not wanting to loose money on these. Does stink.

Locker Toys, like many toy retailers, is not some big corporation. They're just a small business trying to do the best they can. While some things bug me about them, they price things fairly and their shipping charges are generally very good for international orders. They try to engage through their Facebook page, and in this case put this situation up for discussion a week or two back. Also gotta bear in mind, what is a preorder? It's a retailer's best estimate of a future sale. And some preorders just go wrong. No one anticipated a two-year delay, a pandemic and global shipping in chaos. In this part of the world, where it is common to only have sellers pay a deposit on preorders, it would not be unusual to see the final price adjusted based on the circumstances at the time the item is in stock. And this case all they are adjusting for is the shipping, which is out of their control. Would people prefer that they just let you cancel the item now and refund it? Maybe they should. There is no shortage of buyers clamouring on Locker Toys FB posts, asking to take up any stock if it were come available. Anyone not happy with paying the extra shipping, could do a deal now with someone and swap in their address to have Locker Toys ship to them. Or once in hand, can resell these on the secondary market and do very well. Prices are crazy on these, and these are in very high demand. Last edited by jabalong; 05-22-2021 at 08:16 PM.. |

I hope BFS gets their allotment of the missing figures as well.
I had not bought from Locker Toys at the time of the original presale but have been very pleased with my orders from them since.

Yeah, it's getting frustrating waiting so long on one figure. Especially when I keep seeing Wei selling individual figures on FB. I am not sure if he has all the parts to complete the Virginie figure, but that seems to be the last of the preorder figures everyone keeps waiting on.
Question for those of you that have ordered directly from Wei, has the total cost per figure (including shipping) been around $40 or more per figure? I seem to remember the shipping for one figure just being ridiculous. Jason |

I had ordered mine through BFS. I hope they get their order soon.
Regarding Locker Toys, I don't have issues with their store or shipping. It's all been pretty up front for me. I have major issues with his anti-competitive moderation on Facebook and the horrible colors on the 'normal' Zombie Lab figures. I still order from them occasionally. I will do so again in the future. |
