Yes, people complain about everything and consequently may focus their review on one single thing that may not be relevant to you. And then there's review bias---people with bad experiences are much more likely to write a review than people with good experiences.
The problem is that 1) there's no objective authority to rely on for retailer reviews and 2) the only people who can really weigh in on retailer experiences are customers (i.e., the average person).
You can take the word of someone you trust or try to gather so many reviews that, statistically, the outliers will have little impact on the overall rating, but the only way to know for sure is to take the plunge and buy from a retailer yourself. If you find a good one, then stick with them. I buy almost all of my figures from the same five websites: Sideshow, Timewalker Toys, Alter Ego Comics, BBTS, and OneSixthKit. I went with Timewalker Toys this time to pre-order Furiosa.

Ok here is my latest experience: so, this figure comes in two boxes as it's the so called B version that contains extra stuff. The store forgets to ship both boxes at once and ends up shipping two. This results in both packages being taken in by customs and I end up paying double customs. That pisses me off of cause, BUT it's a honest mistake. Figures doesn't usually come in two boxes and what else should they have done... don't know. A bad experience that a lot of buyers would instantly have reacted to by writing a bad review. But what's the chance it would happen again for someone else? Not very big and I already ordered from them again.

My friend runs an ebay store (not toy related), and he does a great job at it, good customer service and very proffessional, his rating are solid for the most part, but some of the crap he has to deal with regarding difficult buyers would be enough to pull my hair out.

Yes, me too! Rictus Erectus is so Bad-Ass!. And develop a good 13.5" tall Muscled body for this.
Nathan Jones is 7 feet tall.

Immortan would be cool, but after seeing the film, Furiosa and Nux were the two I loved the most. And Slit. I loved that piece of **** for some reason.

Rictus is a secondary character, so it makes sense that VTS would pass on making him in favor of Nux and Immortan.

I'll take Nux and Joe. I friggin love this movie and all of the characters are so good. Max is actually the least interesting to me but I think he's just meant to serve as a conduit for the audience. They struck gold on this line.

Agree!!
They gotta do Joe -- besides being the main villain, he'd just look so awesome on the shelf. Amazing design!
I'd take Nux but for pure shelf presence, I'd prefer Slit. Or Blackmask.
Whatever they make I'll take. I just hope they don't stop at Furiosa.

As he was also the main villain in Mad Max 1, be curious to see if anyone could convert the sculpt for a younger version.
Or if they sculpt him, include a second younger sculpt.
Personally I'd love to see a figure of the wife played by Zoe Kravitz. She may not have said very much, but she was still a pretty damn sexy and memorable looking character in my book.
Yes. That is definitely something to worry about.

All the wives were pretty damn hot. But I'm with you Zoe peaked my interest, as did Abby.
