Locker Toys Premium Membership #1 – Box 2 is such a Bad Deal

This is very upsetting to find myself paying such a bad deal. Never crossed my mind there are no figures at all in the first place and that only getting exclusive helmets. The descriptions were not clear (it’s now updated) and put up the image with the first and second lots with figures. Before I proceed with the purchase, I also drop an email to inquire about the images just to confirm if I am getting any figures from the lot plus helmets. Well, one of them told me we will be getting either two lots with all 8x exclusive helmets. So what does this tell you? We are getting figures with helmets, right? Now, it’s nothing.
 

The price of box 2 cost HKD 980, which is a lot for just 8 exclusive helmets compared with other bundles that come with random figures valued at HKD 752. If I knew there are no figures or they choose to correct me on the question above, I would just go for random two figures from W40K Interceptors Set which is a way better value than getting helmets.

 

 

Yes, I already made my complaints to Locker Toys and shows the previous email response including feedback on the premium membership issue. I won’t be asking for any cancellation or demanding any refund and just continue to try out the one-year premium membership. For now, my biggest problem is the LTS reward points. It’s kind of a fuckup to see high and low reward points numbers for selected figures and not to mention, premium membership doesn’t get either double or any increase points. There are no differences from the normal membership so what’s the point buying premium membership?

Looking For Alternative Store for JT Warhammer 40K Figure Plus Membership

Did you know, JoyToy has released over 100+ Warhammer 40k Action Figures in 2022? This is an insane number of Warhammer 40K releases I have ever seen coming from them. Before I even post this, the T’au Empire faction has just up for PO and announced coming in Dec (next month). Not only that, JoyToy recently announced the Space Marine White Scars series too so expect more incoming. No one can imagine what is next again for next week and seriously hope they slow down during the Lunar New Year.

At the moment, I am waiting for the Grey Knight's arrival at Gundamit (Show.Z) and going to spend points to bring the price down a little. The exchange rate for the US dollar is still just too strong right now and sometimes reaching the point of closing one eye and cancelling the PO. Yeah, I did look into the Japanese stores. The problem here is that both Ami-Ami and HLJ are not carrying a lot. The older release is not even shown up from June until now so I don’t see any reason to PO there, especially since their price is higher. The good exchange rate is not helping either and huge lack behind the release wave.

I am now looking at the third alternative option from the Hong Kong side, Locker Toys. Their price cannot compete with Gundamit store and had no option to pay a deposit for any pre-order. However, the plus side, they give free airmail shipping if you order over 0.6 KG which means we save more in the shipping fee compared to the competitor. If you guys want to get more bargains, you may have to buy the one-year (fans-only) membership which offers VIP discounts and gifts including reward points. I was hesitant to go for it at first until I saw the HKD 980 bundle with a special Warhammer 40K exclusive set of 8 helmets that caught my eye.

The only confusion about the bundle is about the ‘First’ or ‘Second’ lot for the sets of 4 figures. The Locker Toys didn’t specify if we are allowed to choose or not. Maybe, until stock last. Anyway, I will just drop them an email to go for the second lot and see what the response is. Yeah, I love the Space Marine Captain with the decoration and the cape. The first lot is more of armies building unless I have a Land Rider (seriously, we need one!). 

Anyway, I will update you from time to time about my experience with the membership services status and the discount soon.
