Hey guys...... I made some pre-orders with an online store named "Imperial Outpost Toys." After, when I tried to email them a question, I got no reply. When I try to call them, I get no answer. I'm trying to decide if I should have my bank cancel the transaction. Has anyone ever done business with them before? Heard anything about them? Here is their info: www.imperialoutposttoys.com(951) 282-2256 CS@Imperialoutposttoys.com FYI.... They were offering pre-orders for the DC Universe Wave 10 (Walmart exclusives). It sounded too good to be true, so I decided to ask them HOW they were managing to sell that series, considering NO WHERE else online is (besides Ebay scalpers).

Trashmasher...I've never dealt with them specifically, but their storefront looks pretty legit. A lot of online toy shops deal in secondary market toys....for example one of our fine sponsors, BigBadToystore.com does that.
How long ago did you email them?

Thanks for your quick reply. I also thought the storefront looked legit. He even made some nerdy comments that only a true collector would understand. Ironically, the charge for the pre-order just went through today, right after I posted this! Crazy, huh? SO....hopefully the toys actually get delivered. I will come back to this thread and give an update if/when my order arrives.

The conclusion.......... The company remained difficult to contact, although I did finally get a guy on the phone. At that point my order had actually shipped. Anyhow......I pre-ordered the DC Universe Manbat (Walmart Wave 10) a while back, for $20. The price on their website is now $40, but my pre-order price never changed. Just got my Manbat in the mail! So.....I'm going to have to give Imperial Outpost Toys a big thumbs up! Not very good at answering phone and emails, but they delivered.

Thanks for updating us trashmasher. I'm glad they ended up being a good seller.
