Statuetoys really sucks as far as fullfilling orders. They failed me with the Ideon, MP Voltron and I am almost positive they will fail me with the Energer too. Hope this time it works out for everyone who ordered from them, but beware of their reputation...

Hey guys... For those of you who have had their statuetoys.com orders not gone through... Did you have difficulties getting your refund? Thanks.

I didn't because I called my creditcard company first and they took care of the problem.

Originally I placed my order for GX-39 with statuetoys.com, but when I tried to cancel the order, they wanted to hit me with a penalty fee. BBTS and betatoys had received their GX-39 on time, by the 4th quarter of 2007. These guys were still waiting for GX-39 to come in... and are still waiting... I had a hard time getting a refund, but finally did and went to betatoys.com and placed my order there. If statuetoys.com were to charge credit cards only when orders are filled and ready to ship, I would place tons of orders with them. The fact that I only have limited time to dispute credit card charges makes deals with them very unappealing.

Wilson, what do you mean by having a ?0/50 chance? I know that they have already charged my card. 50/50 because a lot of time they can not fill their orders or the oders are like 6 months late. they charged ur c card but that does not mean u will get ur order filled. u have to ask for a refund when time comes..

Huh, I ordered my Green Hornet and Kato statues from them because they were the best deal I could find with the pre-order, and they came through for me...

Actually, the PX-01X and PX-01 was never re-issued. The Hong Kong stores also could not fulfill orders and had to cancel them. Bandai never re-issued them.

Yeah, but Diamond Comics still sucks anyway... you can confirm it with the people of BBTS for further info...

not arguing that point. Diamond does suck. They did not come through for me with GX-01R long time ago.

Considering how easy it is to get that one just about anywhere else shows you just how sucky Diamond is. Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Statuetoys get their imports from Diamond? Uh-oh...

Well I guess I'll give this rotting horse a couple of kicks myself. Diamond shafted Hobbyfan.com on two preorders I had in the past year.
They go all out for superhero & movie collectables but they're like "Whatever. We'll see..." when it comes to anything anime/robot. They ANNOUNCE everything but they only follow through on half of it. Maybe they should stick with the comic book/superhero/sports fans & leave anime stuff to companies that make a living importing it.
I really don't know what to think about this latest announcement. It might even be a misprint. Bandai's also been a little wishy-washy themselves.
If I knew SOMEONE that works for Bandai or Diamond I could get a confirmation either way. Then I'd try & pawn off the GX-07E before the info gets widespread. If anyone here works for them than please PM me. ;D

I just realized something:
There's no way Bandai would allow just ONE importer to sell them at wholesale prices ($50 might even be below wholesale!).
$50 means it has to be mass-produced. So it has to eventually show up as preorders in places like HLJ & Betatoys. Hell...pretty much EVERYWHERE.
If it doesn't....then it's just Diamond smoking crack again.
Actually I could be wrong on this....but does anyone here have any memory of Diamond ever getting an exclusive 50%+ discount on any SOC???

well, let me tell you. Betatoys.com has the GX-07E and has had them since last week, but they are getting them from Japan and not from diamond.
