New A3U shopping experience?

[Sun Swipe Prime]

Never had any dealings with them past or present other than when they had a store front to goto, but from checking out their site, they don't have anything all that special in terms of stock. Everything I've seen from the $134 devastator to the $24 icecream twings tells me that I can find the stuff elsewere for the same price or cheaper. The only item I saw that may be worth it was the $39.99 Jetfire/Grimlock classics two pack.

Just my 2cents anyway

I've heard a rumour or two. All I'm saying is that I'd let someone else test the water first before diving in.

after seeing the problems a bunch of other people had, i wouldn't buy from them

Trust me. Steer clear. Who would be stupid enough to take that name?

I thought it was just me! I ordered from them 3 or 4 times and always had problems from the long shipping time, dented and damaged boxes, overpriced items and poor customer service. Until I hear that stuff has been fixed I wont shop there. If you're looking in canada for a website I would recommend automaton toys. I perfer TFsource but in canada I use automaton toys.

Is it really under a new owner though? If there's any involvement of the previous owner I wouldn't bother ordering.

Honestly, they should just really change their store name. The A3U just brings back bad memories from everyone.

As far as I know, Spencer has nothing to do with the new management. And when you think about it, A3U was a great store, it's just the online side of the business that had hiccups.

Based on the address listed, it was the same as http://urbansamuraihobbies.com.
