DalGoda Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 (edited) Hi folks, I'm a rather new member, and I usually just read the forums, but recently I had a very good experience with a retailer that I wanted to share. I have had very good luck in the past with a store based in Hawaii called "Toys n' Joys". So, when I was at my wits end trying to locate a Yamato 1/48 Low Visibility Valk, I decided to write them an email. Imagine my surprise to hear back that they had located me one in Japan, and had it on hold for me. This after I had witnessed a couple of online auctions for the same Valks with ending prices well over $300 & $350. Yes, it did have a premium price, but it is "out of stock" and one of those "collector items" now, and the price increase above original retail was a far cry better than spending $300+ on one. Anyway, I just wanted to share my praise for all the help and excellent service and communications I received from "Toys n' Joys". So, if you've never heard of them, check em out. They might be able to help you locate that 'hard to find' item you've been hunting for. BTW, they only got the one Low Viz Valk in for me, and didn't say that any others were available, so don't count on getting one, just because they found one for me (fair warning). Finally, a big thank you to Art over at "Toys n' Joys", your special service has made my day! Edited March 11, 2004 by DalGoda Quote
007-vf1 Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 (edited) "T&J" shameless plug?? Edited March 11, 2004 by 007-vf1 Quote
DalGoda Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 (edited) That "shameless plug" is the genuine article. They didn't ask me to do it, nor am I affilliated with them in any way. I am simply a customer. I was so happy with the service I received, I wanted to post a public "thank you". I know that some people like to see how other folks are treated by retailers, and if the shopping experience was rewarding. It was for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. BTW My choice for best source for Valks is and will remain Twin Moons Anime. The owner/operator of Twin Moons Anime, Tam is one of the nicest people you'd ever want to deal with. He's gone out of his way to help his customers (including me). He always seems to have to latest (if not inside) information. Items are shipped securely via FedEx, and the communications are great. I'm thrilled that I found Twin Moons Anime, and will continue shop there first. The only reason I went to TnJ was because Tam was unable to locate an affordable Low Viz Valk for me, not that he didn't try. And speaking of "affordable", I find that Twin Moons Anime has the best prices around! I guess that would constitute a "shameless plug" for Twin Moons Anime PS. I'm just a satisfied customer, and I wanted to share my opinions. Edited March 12, 2004 by DalGoda Quote
