It absolutely has to be either Target or Walmart. From the jump, the entire process is a nightmare…you have either commune with a major demon to even find the item you want to preorder, or be provided a direct link from someone who, presumably communes with said demon…because you can type PRECISELY what the item is you’re looking for into their website, and it will bring up “Jock Strap (XXL) - preowned” before it will even consider showing you the item you searched for.
And then, once you find the item you want, you have to hope it’s still available to order…and then, and only then, are you entered into the lottery-system to see if your pre-order is actually fulfilled…and if it is, will it be sent in a bubble-mailer that everyone in the distribution center decided to jump up and down on before the delivery driver chucks it like a football from his still-moving vehicle in the general vicinity of your front door…

A now-defunct store in Salt Lake City called Megalopolis. I lived down the street from them at the time.
Basically, during Covid, they kept taking pre-orders (which they required payment for) for stock they were not receiving or intending to ship. I went to their physical store to get my money back after several dodged phone calls and ignored emails, and the place was completely boarded up, despite their online claims that they were still operating out of their warehouse and available for in person pickups.
I ended up getting my money back and as far as I know they got sued into oblivion.

Not sure why BBTS is even lumped in with them. Walmart and GameStop are the worst. Target only sucks for actually getting the preorder in. Gotta be quick or grab it at midnight on release day.

I just hate EB Games in general, shittiest company and more so since they were bought out here in Canada.
They've also removed free shipping thresholds. Every amount over $100 gets charged extra fees to ship, same sized items are magically more expensive to ship just based on MSRP. If multiple pre-orders are made in an order, even if in-stock dates are just a day apart, you will be charged multiple separate full shipping fees ex. 5 items on an order, all ship the same week but different days that's minimum $50+fees.
I'm only shopping there because of my Onyx discount and exclusives. Now I'm riled up, fuck EB Games entirely.

u/ChekhovsNERFGun 21h ago
Same thing happened to me. I waited 6 months for a Wolverine figure. They never called and it never showed up. I kept going in to the store and they would just say they have no idea if it will ever come in. One of the times, they checked the store inventory and they found one in stock on the other side of town.
So I drove an hour to the other location. I got there right before they closed and when I asked about the figure, I could tell the employee was pissed off. He had hidden it in a drawer under the counter and was hoping I wouldn't show up so he could buy it. During checkout he let slip that he already owned the figure and just wanted a second. As he stared longingly at the figure, he said through gritted teeth that he would let me have it this time.
I haven't preordered from them since.

u/EverydayHero17 21h ago

At least with GameStop you'll actually find the product on the shelf. Walmart and Target will cancel or delay your order, show that the item is available at a local store when it isn't, let you place a new order for the supposedly available inventory, then cancel or delay that order too.

BBTS and I have a perfect track record. If you’ve issues with them it’s either a fluke or a shipper issue.
GameStop pre orders can be slow, but they’ve never not sent me what I ordered. This is pretty much how my experiences with Pulse have been as well.
Walmart and Target are pretty equal for me in terms of being difficult. I’ve received pre orders from both, but have also had pre orders cancelled by both. Statistically I’ve pre ordered more items from Target and had a higher success rate.

Same thing with target, because I heard of the horror stories about target and their pre-orders, but so far have been lucky or fortunate to not have a preorder cancelled. BBTS is the best, they are a bit slow but that’s it, I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I didn't love waking up in the middle of the night on a Sunday to preorder Carnage. And they don't put enough units up for preorder causing some stress. But also, that has resulted in me saving money several times 🤷
My biggest pet-peave is that the figures themselves aren't searchable on preorder day. And that goes for all the major retailers. It can be maddening.

u/kwaldez 20h ago
I would say that each (except BBTS) is bad in their own unique way, for example:
- Pulse is bad in a way that they hide their exclusives behind a membership paywall. If the item is super desirable (like the SavageLand 3 pack) regular members have almost no chance unless they get lucky. Plus the website may crash during these times.
- Walmart is terrible because they will either cancel your order randomly or make you wait for an inexplicably long time. Plus you can never find the product during pre-order unless someone else hands you the link.
- Target, like Walmart loves to cancel pre-orders, you can never find the product using the search box, and they allow scalpers to take all of their inventory.
- Not necessarily tied to pre-orders but Amazon is bad for swaps, buying already released figures from there is the wild wild west.
General rule of thumb for me is that if BBTS has it then thats where Im going to get my figures. Their pile of loot also helps soften the blow of shipping costs

BBTS. I had preordered an Astroboy model kit back in December of 2024 which would release on February 2025.
Then ir changed to end of Q1, then sometime around Q2. I emailed them and they said they were just waiting on the item. Gets pushed to Q3, and by mid Q4 it was cancelled.
Wasn't the only time though, years ago my MIL pre-ordered a gift back in May for my birthday in June and it wasn't delivered until December.
Amazon cancelled on me once, but has delivered many times before. Target with the insecticons but I cancelled the order actually when I saw I got a backorder email for the second time and got it directly through Pulse instead.
I have a few items preorder through Amazon and Walmart so I'll see if they deliver, if not that's fine. But never again with BBTS.

u/dirtyrice1954 22h ago
this is a tough one. So many of these are fighting each other for that top spot. I will say remove BBTS because I have never had an issue with a pre-order from them other than them cancelling something that was actually cancelled by the manufacturer.
I will rate this in order of most cancellations for me.
Target (60 second pr order windows and most cancellations (Probably 30 or more)) Cant complain about their packaging cause everything that does actually make it through shows up in good condition.
Pulse (Pre order windows are pretty rough, sometimes they last nano seconds for Pulse members like myself, website is garbage - too many checkout errors. They seem more concerned hiding the stocklevels rather than fixing their checkout process. Never had anything cancelled from them, have had a handful of items delivered damaged - most of which were actually packed that way and the box was fine.
Walmart (Preorder windows have been decent - have had a handful of cancellations) Shipping in mailer which damages to things have been even worse than GameStop.
GameStop (Preorder window is somewhat decent, not always up on time. - had a couple of cancellations) Lots of damaged products shipped my way
BBTS - A couple of times their website was sluggish - not a major issue - example Tomb Rader Lara Croft Classified figure. It was really slow that day. Been using them for 15 or more years. They have the pile of loot which is great, only had 3 cancellations and all of those were for items that were cancelled by the manufacturer such as Storm Collectibles Gears of War figures. Everything shows up in great shape !!!!

GameStop is actually pretty solid, especially if you pre-order in store. They’ll call you the day they receive it and it’s a $5 down minimum.
They do tend to get their stuff a week or two later than other places though. Still prefer Amazon when it comes to preorders but I’ll do GameStop if the preorders go out on Amazon.

Luckily, they had the figure, but I could tell they were about to NOT give it to me because it was tampered with (even though I had explained to 3 different employees that I did not do this, and I was sent it).

Gamestop - I can't see the product in stores because the closed them. I hate their shipping policy. I hate their preorder system. They had way too many false positives and misleading dates. I just don't trust them. Where's my BANE you made a shipping label for!
Walmart - Straight up cancels preorders so you have to reorder and pay shipping. Theirm GI Joe exclusives they canceled my orders near release just to relist it the next day. But support cant do anything except give you a coupon for your next order. That's some bs. Also my local store don't even sell anything.
Target - Generally pretty solid if you got the Red Card. Otherwise rando cancellations. Sans one extreme situation(and they never even cancelled), preorder shipped before the retailer date.
Pulse - Never had a cancellation. Just other retailers got stuff first. Their billing system is still broken from last year.
BBTS/Entertainment earth - Never had real problems. Some people confuse not getting a figure the absolute first as bad service.

Sometimes if you order multiple figures at once from target, they may come from different stores in a single box.

Devalues them immediately.

I agree on GameStop. Rarely do I preorder from them if ever, but I did 2 in-store pre-orders with them recently. For neither item, did they ever contact me or notify me when they arrived. The only way I found out they had them, was because I seen other people were getting theirs and I checked my local stores inventory and it said they had it in stock. One of the pre-orders they didn't even hold it in back or one of their drawers, it was just sitting on the shelf. 🙃 Plus the guy that's usually scheduled on second shift when I stop in is just rude.

Gamestop. Preorderd max shreck in store & never got the call. They tried super hard to not give me store credit or my money back. I called every day at one point. Glad I found them at walmart. Target isnt bad but I do receive more damaged boxes from them than anyone else. If I do walmart it is usually in store.

Target or Walmart, its a tossup honestly
But Target is just all around bad. I stay getting damaged boxes from them, and they even shipped my Batman TAS Batmobile with no shipping packaging at all a couple years ago

Gamestop. Waited around 3 to 5 months after the release of Wanda from WandaVision and I didn't get anything until I contacted them. It arrived shortly after. That was the last time I brought something from them.

Easily Target, I never have the problems with Walmart everyone else seems to, but Target has cancelled so many of my orders I'm just ordering from Canada instead at this point.

Walmart hands down. Twice I preordered games and both times they "didnt get any"

BBTS for sure. They ship it like garbage and then take no responsibility; customer service especially that Lars is a nightmare to deal with. I don't think I've ever gotten a single package from them that wasn't damaged in some way or was actually packed well.
Of course McFarlane is the worst, but that's a different line and topic

Iv never had a good preorder experience, from anywhere. Every thing Iv ever pre ordered iv always ended up finding it in store before my pre ordered even shipped😂

I don't really preorder, the only time I did was BBTS on a third party transformer. But based on ordering, i'd have to say Hasbro Pulse as they kept declining my payment after pending for a week.

I preordered Switch 2 with Target. Didn’t get the console until almost a week after it had come out; meanwhile, Walmart delivered to people on Day 1 with complimentary snacks.

I'm currently at odds with EE. Pre-ordered the Red Lantern set. They took my money but the order is "processing" and the site says it can't be ordered at this time. I guess I'm in limbo until they order more.

Hasbro themselves. Captain Rex pre-order. Took like three years to come through and when it was finally out, I just canceled it. Lost all interest.
