BigBadToyStore

The estimated delivery window for when I made an order passed months ago, originally, I was only supposed to wait 3 months, now a year later after I have forgotten about the whole ordeal, I get a notification about shipping and payment which took me all afternoon to find out what it was about, there is no button to cancel the order on their site. I recommend to anyone reading this to steer clear of these people.

This is our go-to site for all things action figures. We enjoy their selection and have always had quick dependable shipping for in-stock items. The action figures are my husband's favorite present each year. And I like them not as collectibles, but to mix in with our seasonal decor. My husband enjoys playing with them and taking cool photos of them. Highly recommend this business!

I wanted for months to purchase the Griffin Legion from Lucifer brand, it was pretty difficult to find one on internet without being a pre order, but I finally found on BBTS.
I was worry because the figure only had professional pictures and nothing how the product will looks like.
Except there's few pictures of a ''B-grade'' of this figure.
By B-grade, I am talking about a slight different pose, wings, ears, detals, colors. You'll see on my pictures between the professional pictures and my figure

The shipping was okay and pretty fast from USA to Europe, nothing was broke but I was pretty disappointed that the figure is not like on professional pictures but the ''B-grade'' one.

I was a little expecting because I did a lot of research. I contacted the store few months before purchase to ask for the product pictures (not the professional ones) and they didn't wanted to show me.

I read a lot of reviews before purchase it but I am pretty glad it's not worse than that.

I add pictures of my figure and professional picture.

I have done business with BBTS in the past, from ordering Japanese Transformers reissues to recently, a Pac-Man model kit. And every time, they have proven deliver. Their packaging in my case is good, as they take great care to add stuff like bubble wrapping for more fragile stuff, and even sending me an e-mail to tell me when they are processing orders and shipping. The only thing I can warn about is pre-ordering, as they will not take payment until the item arrive at their warehouse. Also, some products will be restricted to the point of not being allowed to sell to orders outside a certain country, so that is another thing to keep in mind when buying toys that are new releases or pre-orders. So be aware when ordering or pre-ordering from this website.

Sent an email to complain, asked to send photos… sent…. Full refund (store credit) given! Amazing!

I am a retired service member, and I've been doing plastic modeling as my hobby for over 30 years. Here's my experience with this seller:

Their normal items marked "instock" are general higher price than other places.

Ordered from them via their pre-order section, because their prices' are good (maybe too good to be true), but they never fulfil my orders even after the products are available on market for months. They never update, cancel or respond to my requests neither.

SCAMMER ALERT!

I placed an order 9 months ago as a Christmas present for my son. Now it's July and still no items. It shows available within a week or two, but then they change it. I emailed and got a response about how they know how exciting it can be to wait for an order, but this is ridiculous.

Attention international buyers! If something doesn't arrive, DHL doesn't notify you or similar, you'll be held out until you can't repeat the money! If you then get your money back via Paypal, the account is blocked and everything is gone, money, items in the pile of loot, everything. Be careful here!

I was a regular at BigBadToyStore and living in Canada I used to get my orders with in the week or latest 2 weeks with the slowest shipping option. Their shipments were always very efficient because they dealt with Pitney Bowes.

Now they use a shipping company known as Asendia and it's the absolute worst. A full week goes by where you're left in the dark with NO tracking. There is nothing BBTS can do except tell you to wait for some kind of update. The wait is almost a month or more, when this is brought to their attention the agents solution is "you should have chosen the faster shipping". This is not an easy option when you're ordering from a US website.

The agents are also extremely arrogant they are rude and lie. For example, I had a woman tell me they've always used Asendia, when I pointed out how inefficient that shipping service is. When I pointed out to her that I used to get my packages within 1-2 weeks with the slowest shipping option, she kept shutting me down saying that it's not possible.

I don't think I'll ever use BBTS again because my sole reason for going to them was speed of their shipments.

I purchased from them in December and it took the same time frame, I was told it's because of the holiday season which is fair enough. This is why I took a chance in January since we are no longer in the holiday season. But to my surprise, it's the same issue, and the holiday season was just a convenient excuse.

If you live internationally and want to order from BBTS be aware because you will wait forever for your package to arrive.

I got an issue with my delivered item which is missing an accessory (skull throne) and the customer service is the worst, no accountability and lack of ownership, they blamed the vendor always during our conversation. I already canceled over 20 pre orders and will not ever do business with this cash grab company.

Bought for 58 us, charged me 42 us for shipping * canada but... there is more

DHL charged me 2 times duty, so now it cost me more than original shipment

For quebec, canada its not worth it

Sorry but. Its the honest truth people should know

If you ordered a model kit from them that originates from Japan, you should review how Japan produces and distributes platic model kits. In Japan, most of these manufactures DO NOT have warehouses, they produce kits monthly and only produce a select amount and type of kits, once they are gone, that is it until they decide to make another production run. Each producton run can be months or years apart depending on the manufacture and how they view that specific kits ability to sell. Since they do not have warehouses, they do not make every model kit every month. So, when you pre-order a kit from a US seller, they are at the mercy of when the Japanese manfacture decides to make another production run of that kit. There are many cases where certain kits only have one production run per year, so if you pre-order, it can easily be a year+ before the seller gets more. Be prepared and make sure you read the sellers policies BEFORE you pre-order. Any estimated delivery dates are just that, an estimate, and can change at any time.

I have ordered from BBTS as well as other businesses like them and have seen many cases where a specific item does not have another production run for 6+ months, and most of these retailers give you the option to either cancel your pre-order or wait.

I have made many pre orders with them. When I purchased the pre-order, the money for that amount is taken immediately when I confirm the order, three of my pre-orders I did last year, are now canceled because there's no money, even I checked my account and confirm that it was purchased on that day I confirm pre-order. Is anyone else having problems with that too. Also the customer service is dog$#*!.

I love how they have a super wide variety of items from all eras! My son REALLY wanted THAT Stone Cold to add to his collection. This one seems very very hard to find.and here it was…and at a decent price to boot! The expected shipping was on the 30th… I got it on the 23rd! Definitely recommend this website for any Toy Collector or Enthusiast. Blessed

I bought a laptop skin and the product was really good n stuff but the way the packaging was kinda bad. There were creases on it and was a bit crumbled too.

I pre ordered two products and the dates kept getting pushed back without any communication from the BBTS team. It has been 5 months since the order and I have cancelled the preorders after losing hope they would ever actually ship. Other stores with the same model kits shipped these models already and know I have to go to the secondary market to find what I thought I had locked down. Very disappointing

When you make preorder from them always late when Item was release 1 month ago not even shipped out late, the price was 60% more them what price was give.

I have ordered or should I say attempted to order multiple items from BigBadToy store. Even recently I gave them yet another shot. I ordered a set of Marvel Legends, months after they were supposed to be released, I found them at Game Stop. So, I called their customer service number to check the status of my order and they still couldn't give me a shipping date. So, I just canceled it. Exact same thing happened with single releases of Marvel Legends and GI Joe classified finding things I "Pre ordered" at Target, Walmart or Game Stop months later on one occasion in the clearance isle it had been out so long.

Most recently I pre ordered the Veteran William Werewolf action figure when it was announced. Never received it and ended up ordering it from Amazon and getting it in 3 days.

Unless you are a influencer don't waste your time or money.

I ordered a Hot Toys Iron Man. Item shipped internationally but wasnt provided tracking. 3+ months since item shipped still nothing. Contacted Big Bad and they say once shipped they do not claim responsibility and I was on my own. Lost nearly $500.

I tried to order my son an item for Christmas 2021 (when he was still a child). I called to see if I would get it in time for Christmas. They could not guarantee so I told them to cancel the order. I order it on Amazon instead. Now, 3 years later, my son is an adult and I now received his toy in the mail. They said it was a preorder. Never have I heard of preordering a toy 3 years early. It was also out before Christmas of 2021. Not a preorder. They want me to pay shipping back and not reimburse me for the shipping to me. What a bunch of crap. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I bought toys in October 21 for Xmas of the same year, turns out they weren't available. When I contacted them they told me they were having supply chain issues and that they will update me when the toys would be available. Except they never did until they shipped and charged my account without notice. Also their pile of loot is a complete scam. I ordered both toys the same day but apparently one was placed in the pile when made available then it instantly expired and got shipped while the second one was listed as a pre-order, but guess what, the second toy got suddenly added to the pile as soon as the first one shipped so I paid for shipping twice, again with zero notice before hand that my account would be charged. Worst experience ever.

Note: All items ordered were preorders, so my experience will be different from ordering in stock items.

What is the point of preordering something if you can't even get it when other retailers have it in stock both physically and online?

I have preordered 3 items from this company: a Spyro the Dragon plush and 2 Spyro the Dragon NECA figures (One was a collector Grade item). Both arrived 3 weeks after retailers got these items in their inventory.

I understand, employees can't magically know when an item will arrive, but 3 weeks with no updates or helpful customer service and buyers are stuck with 0 information until 2 days before it arrives to their warehouse.

BBTS isn't inherently bad, but when I see every applicable retailer online and in physical stores with an item less than a week after its released, I would expect BBTS would at least be a little more timely considering it's a major online toy retailer.

Also, one of my NECA figures arrived with a paint smear on the box, so obviously that's my reward for shopping with BBTS and not just picking my own figure up at the store.

I will say that if you're patient, BBTS won't be an issue for you, but nothing sets it apart from other online retailers to give it a competitive edge over the others. This is why I gave it 3 stars. Its not close to being better than Amazon or other major online retailers, but its not as bad that they'll be running off with your money with no policies or protection in place. So its just slow. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was honestly terrified to order from here seeing all these bad reviews but I got my plush in 2- 2 1/2 weeks and I live in canada! I got regular updates on it and everything. I really just think some of these reviewers are kinda impatient alot of them were complaining how there stuff took a little to long to arrive. Anyways no need to worry your stuff will come you might just have to wait a little.
