Post mandarake - steals only @ first sight???
just read lash`s thread on the red skullwing
and curious to know about ur experiences
with mandarake as mine werent all good.

had some great steals too. yes. thanks a lot.

but on the other hand a lot of the stuff
they send out is in pretty bad condition.
especially with the rare ones when paying a lot
it sucks when u get em with fucked stand
or paint totally rubbed off.

Well when I have been able to get anything off of them it has been in good shape and delivered in rapid real time. No complaints here.

LOL... oh yeah, I bought a "clear" Gargamess the other day, but it looked yellowish in the picture, so I thought it was supposed to be yellow. Turns out it was just an old sun aged clear one. :D

the atmos sets I bought are smoke stained. If it was one set it would drive me nuts but they are all the same yellow color and they kinda look cool. Unfortunaly all their coughing keeps me up at night.

My only experence with them was great. The pirate was mint and the header was perfect.

Not to mention in came in a very secure box.

I would buy from them again..... that is if I can ever get the chance again :)

Pretty awesome in general. I've made over twenty purchases with mandarake and only been burned twice.
One brain had deep scratches on the back of the head and I bought a BxH toy that came with original bag and hang tag, when I recieved the toy it was bagless and no hang tag insight. I shot mandarake an email and recieved no response.
The condition of secret base figures can be tricky, even figures bagged with mint headers can have small scratches on them.

Fresh Meat question: when I added an available item to my cart and proceded through checkout, all i got was a prompt saying they'd email me with the final price within 3 days. I did recieve the confirmation email, but no further follow up. it's only been 1 day, and the email did say up to 3 days. can I safely assume the order went through?

ps,
i didn't order the red skullwing 8)

You'll get the email-It takes them a few days at times but I've never had a problem w/anything from them..The only thing is if you use a credit card keep track of what you spend there.It takes them a month at times to charge your stuff and for you to see it..

You should be fine disgusta. Normally you will recieve a payment instructions within 24 hours but sometimes they get backed up. One time I never recieved the payment instructions so I shot them an email after four days and they sent an email for payment right away.
