I started buying figures from them since 2013. Their shipping was fast until COVID. Cheaper price with low cost shipping. Also good quality (depends on figures companies) and packed well. Only 2 things need to know if you are going to buy from then: 1. Use DHL if you want to get your figures for sure. Since COVID all regular Parcel shipping are slow, sometimes they might get lost by chance. 2. some premium figures/anime goods are not on their site. Better search for other figure sites for the limited edition figures/anime goods. (NOT amiami, they are the worst) They have customers points system, it saves money if you did buy a lot from them.

Usually i have nothing against the so called Pre_Order sell... but if that happens 6 month´s in advance, and got delayed time after time, then i really lose the interest to come back and buy more stuff from them. Last month i´ve ordered a pretty small Anime figure from the series yuru camp, for the figure i paid about 27 dollar, and for the shipping, which was not even Air Mail btw., no it was the ordinary EMS postal Way, i paid about 42,- so al in al about 70,- dollar, for a Figurine which weight is about 30.5 gramm... that is far to much if you ask me... But the most disappointing thing was that the paint job on the figurine itself, it was not that good at all, see the skirt section on the photo, yeah... but of course i know that Hobby Search is only the seller / Retailer and not the producer, so they are not to blame for that, but i wonder how much influence they got on that whole pre-order thing anyway? And besides al those delay´s in the pre-order process does not make the consumer happy. I remember one time where i was waiting 8 month´s for a figurine which was released by Figma, al that waiting is just to long, and i´am not the only one who is upset by the whole pre-order thing.
