Not likely…
But I've got to report that my first (and probably only… don't want to press my luck) order with them came off without a hitch. Everything arrived quickly and correctly. I know this doesn't amount to even a drop in the ocean of complaints against them… I probably just got lucky.
I'd felt like such a sucker that I couldn't resist their big 'sale'… now I'm a relieved sucker! |

I also had a 1 time stroke of luck with a big order….
never pressed that luck twice though…. |

Yep, I'm from Vegas… I know when to get up and leave the table. |

They must have had everything in stock. In their own way, they are honest. If they have it, they will sell it to you! They will even ship it.
Backorders, though… |

well, when I placed my order the site looked like Toys R' Us on Christmas eve… there wasn't a lot there, entire lines depleted… and lots of things had 'numbers remaining' quotes next them… |

Maybe we should check to see if there's a spatial tear in the fabric of the universe. Weird. |

I spoke with David at Gen-Con before ordering…..maybe that helped |

"Considering their reputation why would anyone even bother making a first order with them?" Regardless how many people say XYZ company is bad, you'll always get someone who wants to give them a try. |

Especially at their prices. A big discount loosens the logic at times. I've been in that situation myself before. |

I was tempeted, but I prevailed!! Halelluyah!! "Great" sales pricing… But I know better than to try my luck. Five guys who also live in Mexico ordered from them… NONE got their stuff. Hmmm… Maybe that should have been "ALL got STUFFED." Still, I prevailed!!! |

"Maybe we should check to see if there's a spatial tear in the fabric of the universe." I thought the mere act of typing the phrase "praise for New Wave" would've caused a tear in the fabric of the universe. It certainly contradicts all known laws of reality. |

Well, that's why there was a question mark after it… |

Hey all! I only ordered from them ONCE and it was a disaster. I will never do business with them again. THey wouldn't ship, wouldn't answer, and finally only shipped AFTER I canceled my order, and still overcharged me and stiffed me minis. They stink! I have heard they are out of biz, but their website is still taking orders: a trap for the unwary. Doctor Tom (also a Nevadan and knowledgable about "the odds) |
