Topic: The Latest from Tunghori

[Darth More]

Philipp, have you ordered anything else from him recently? Just curious after your last experience

Thanks for asking, but no I have not. I sent him a message and he wanted me to provide some pictures of the error samples, that I received from TungHori. Still need to do that and I hope he sends me either replacement parts or a partial refund. Hasn't been an issue for past orders.
Still waiting for him to list the latest TVC figures like the Mando Commando, Ahsoka (Mandalorian) or Ms Shand before I pull the trigger for my next order.
I've become quite picky ordering for him because of the prices he claims now. Often it's the better option for me to buy them new. Found many figures on discount at SmythsToys here in Germany over the past months. And then I can even be certain that those figures passed quality control.

TungHori listed some new old figures yesterday:

Still hope I'll get my hands on that Klatooinian Raider some day...

I know. I check TungHori on a daily basis and I still missed out on that raider, it's really a lottery or a slot machine. I want him because he looks a lot like the marauders from Battle for Endor. Hopefully, but still doubtful hasbro would repack that at-st or at least single card the figure when they release the upcoming raider.

Haaaa got a raider. Hurryy!
Thats why I always keep army builders or figures that are always in stock in my cart, so when something good comes up I add it and check out before it's gone.

Nice, looks like its out of stock this morning.

Off to share on the front pages.

Congrats JD! The Klatooinian Raider is not listed anymore and I guess that was my last chance for me to get him from TungHori...oh well, I can only hope for a re-issue of the AT-ST by Hasbro.

TungHori put the three remaining Clones of the Bad Batch 4-Pack on discount now:

Well know I need to get this news on the front pages.

Thanks for the word.

Hes got the shoretrooper captain and grunt. No squad leader, if I needed one it would be him. It wont be too long until they arrive in the US.

[Darth More]

That's right, thanks for the alert JD! I wonder if TungHori is aware of May 4 and if there will be even more new listings next week. Here are the latest:

Nice. Sure doesn't seem like the low prices I remember from back in the day.

I never realized how purpley that deathwatch mando is. They needed to tone it down a little, maybe a more brownish jumpsuit. I might have to repaint mine, it bothers me. At anyrate that whole wave is processing right now from EE.

I did get my order with the klatoonian raider, but the AT-ST drivers came with no helmets. I bought them specifically for the helmets, I was going to use them for making custom mudtroopers. Then use some potf2 death star gunner heads on the at-st driver bodies for weapon technicians. So I'll have to do just the latter. This is the first problem I've had. Usually I always throw in some AT-ST drivers in my orders.

[Tamer]

I think if you message him he usually responds.

I am pretty sure Philipp was able to get him to send the items pictured, from time to time.

Yes, you eventually get the missing parts. But I wonder how essential accessories such as helmets can be missing. I just revised my orders from TungHori and all 12 sum up to $1,780 that I spent since December 2020. And I've got to say it's nothing but bald business for him. The software the website is running on even offers a slot for promotional codes, but there are none. I asked him before.
Sometimes I got a refund when a figure, that was still on its way, was spontaneously put on discount by $10 or so - like the recent price drop from $27.99 to $16.99 for TVC Captain Grey.
You can still get him new for less than $15 on Amazon as of this post ($55.84 for the BB 4-Pack).
The two times that I received a refund from him, PayPal would of course take their piece of the cake so we're talking $4-6 that I got back for issues like that - a drop of water on the hot stone.

At this point I'm quite mad (again) because TungHori has become quite unreliable when it comes to quality and completeness of the figures. Often shipping is less than $13 so that's been an extra income for him. That's okay for me though because it takes extra effort handling all this, right?
I mean the order numbers are over 17,100 now since he opened his own web shop! If a customer orders let's say 10 figures on average to make the shipping costs worthwhile, that's some serious money there! I mean look what I spent so far.

I waited before placing my latest order until I got a response from him. That alone was a struggle because the Death Watch Mandalorian went out of stock in minutes. Wanted to make sure that he includes the Razor Crest Mando this time, which I already paid for months ago, but I doubt that he still has one left. He also said that he could sell me one of those Klatooinian Raiders even though it's not listed anymore. So I sent him two messages to plea him not to send my order yet.
But he did. So still no missing Mando or the Klatooinian. He always puts me back to my next order. But at the prices he claims by now I rather buy the figures new & carded.

I'm finally done buying from TungHori.

Damn that's crazy. I counted it as a loss, I'm not going to see those helmets. Makes me weary to order any more. Accessories have always been hit and miss, but missing major accessories is a major issue. I forgot he sent you a pen cap or something instead of a mandalorian, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Tunghori was at least good for army builders, but now I'm not so sure. I probably only do 2-3 $100 orders a year.  Thats why I prefer places like Ebay, there's at least some accountability. He might be getting too big for his britches, can't handle the orders.
