I am excited to announce that the Star Wars Jango Fett bust from Gentle Giant is shipping next week. This is a partial shipment. Pre-orders will be filled first. Any that are left unsold will be put up for sale as soon as they are in stock. Watch this space for up to the minute information on this item.
The Jango Fett bust features a chrome finish and an interchangeable head. This piece is amazingly detailed and looks straight out of the movie. It is limited and will be highly sought after once it is gone so get yours soon!

Yep, you heard me. Hero Hunt is doing away with pre-orders. We are doing this in the interest of serving you better. Here’s why.
Reason #1: Allocations. The collectibles we are selling are very limited and get allocated by the distributors too often. This results in canceling customers orders, which we feel is just bad business. This way we only put up for sale what we have in stock when it arrives, and it’s first come first serve.
Reason #2: Confusion. Since we opened for business, there has been too much confusion that seems to have resulted in a lot of frustration for our customers. Many are confused by what is a pre-order, when the item ships and when they will be charged. We feel this way, no one should be confused.
Reason #3: Bad Business Model. We feel all around that pre-ordering is a bad business model. Due to the fact the quality of recent items was not what customers were expecting, many canceled their orders and stated that they were no longer pre-ordering items. In addition, our current e-commerce software doesn’t really support pre-ordering, though we still tried to make it work. Getting rid of pre-orders makes it much easier to handle the distribution of product correctly.
As a result, we will not be offering anymore pre-orders. Any current pre-order items will be phased out of the site. All current pre-orders placed up until this point will still be honored.
We have been online for less than a year, and it has not been easy. A big thanks goes to the customers who have supported us! We hope that in the end this move helps to serve you better. Please feel free to let us know what you think in the comments below.

Yes, you read that right. Diamond Comics sent me an empty box today. Not only that, I was billed for it COD.
I was supposed to receive a shipment of the Black movie version Spider-man mini bust from Diamond Select today. But instead, I got an empty box. There was a letter inside. Here is what it said.
Dear valued retailer,
Due to an error, JAN073263 - SPIDER-MAN 3 BLACK SPIDER-MAN BUST appeared on your invoice, but you will not be receiving this product. We will ship this as soon as it becomes available.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Diamond Comic Distributors
Think about this. Someone actually went through the trouble of packing and taping up an empty box and shipping it to me via UPS. Unbelievable. I’m sure I’ll get a bill for the shipping too!
Well Diamond, I decided I don’t want the empty box you sent me. Please send me your address, so I can send it back to you. Thanks.
