Don't buy from Entertainment Earth
I highly discourage everyone from ever ordering from entertainment earth, they have serious inventory issues. They get you by listing preorder items a dollar or two cheaper from competitors. What they don't tell you is they preorder a set number of items. But leave the listing up way past the point they've sold out. For example. They'll order 100 of something with an October release date, but they'll let 500 people order thinking they'll get their gift in time for Christmas. Then, once they've dug their inventory hole so deep they can't fulfill, they'll say sold out and tell 400 of the 500 that the manufacturer has delayed things until January, while failing to mention the first 100 are getting their items on time. This is proven because they since have sold several :non mint" versions of this item while I've been waiting, which means some people got their item damaged and returned it and they resold. In short, they lie to your face and say there's a manufacturer delay when in reality they just oversold more than they ordered but lied about it. Meanwhile every other vendor under the sun is selling these items. Even the local target and gamestop while you're stuck waiting 3 more months. They have some items with a March release date that I was considering ordering before I realized all of this. That same item I ended up pre-ordering from big bad toy store and got it in September, several months early. In summary. If you're going to order funkos. Statues. Etc, or anything collector related, you are far better off ordering from big bad toy store, I put my life on that

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced surrounding the manufacturers' delays and distribution decisions. Please note that once we have pre-sold all of the units we expect to receive of an item, we update the stock status to "pre-sold out" and discontinue accepting orders. Keep in mind that an average smaller store might receive 20 cases of an item in stock as soon as an assortment is released. We're no different, but unlike other toy stores, we might need over 1,000 cases to fill our orders. Orders are fulfilled on a first-come-first-served basis, so the sooner you preorder, the sooner you receive your merchandise. That said, the timing of product distribution is entirely up to the manufacturer. We have no control over the process of allocation and delivery times. This is why we do not charge payment for items until they are available to ship to you. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at 818-255-0095.
