Im keeping my fingers crossed for you. Im pretty sure its legit cause ive never read anything bad about them. If they did pull some crap, someone would have posted it somewhere. Right?


On a side note Jerry, you once told me about a girl that youst to work your booths for you at SDCC i bealive it was. You said that you paid her in statues. Maybe these came from her ???

I had a bad, bad experience with this company to say the least.

And based on my experience and the way they pack their items for shipping, I can almost guarantee you it won't come in one piece (especially given the fragility of Vega's hair.)

That was just one of my issues with this place. I've got a few more comments if anyone else is interested.

I got an AP Morrigan through them sometime last year. The piece was legit, came with all the parts, boxing/shippers etc and no issues that way.
At the time I wasn't surprised to find APs of her because she was still available at Sideshow and other dealers, unlike Vega seems to be now.
However she did arrive with a seriously wobbly arm hanging, which I never could figure out was a factory defect, or damaged in shipping. Since it was an easy fix I never took it up.
Like most other people have posted, I got zero response from emails, most concerning the fact had to wait longer than I imagined for it to arrive. (no confirmation, worried the order didn't go through).
In the end, while i've had better transactions and don't think I'd order from there again based on the communications, in fairness I did get the item I paid for at a price I was satisfied with, in teh end that's what was important.

After reading other posts I wonder if the fault with the arm might have been due to poor shipping, but I'd only be guessing. Maybe I was lucky and had an OK-ish experience.

BTW Morrigan is an ace statue. Well under-rated.

Oh and the 25 AP thing.....if I remember rightly (mines in storage) it's number AP _/8 (can't remember what # out of 8), same as it says on the Sideshow shipper box. So I don't know where they got '25' from.

I've been been looking for Vega Ex, and green Vega for a while and am willing to pay Big Bucks for them it as they are the only 2 pieces in my collection im missing..However, im looking for one's with intact pieces, not glued together.

Im willing to pay. Last time I recently had an offer that I was going to accept but the seller never came through for a Green Vega for 1k

If you willing to sell your Vega contact me.

Go win this

EDIT: Ups, sry that one is broken and no EX.
But I doubt you'll get a Green Vega without breaks for 1K anymore.
This may help:

The problem is not finding one that's mint the problem is RECEIVING the one you find mint. If you got one with no claw or hair breaks I suggest you keep it that way by leaving it alone. Packing it up and posting it somewhere is asking for trouble. Trust me I speak from experience as the one in the pic was mint when it left the guys garage!

Luckily I had insurance and so he ended up costing me $50 shipping this happened with both Vega & Ken and so I have both these EX's broken & repaired for shipping costs alone. Not a bad deal but would have preferred to have them mint and pay full price.

Anyway if you are having a Vega shipped my advise is to insure it fully or risk feeling very upset if you open the box to a site like the attached. For it to be so bad I think UPS were playing football with this one in the warehouse though
