I really enjoy your videos. Call you people's figure guide since you do amazing job on explaining also nice you genuinely wanna help the noobs like me 😂
I’ve always had good luck with Toys Wonderland. Still order some through Sideshow when I’m not in a rush. Found a local comic store where the owner will take 20% off Sideshow price and not change me shipping. Great video as always! 👏🏻
Honestly I use Mercari but the downside is I’m overseas. I started seeing hot toys here in Japan and then down the rabbit hole I go. I can’t ship to a military base so Im currently shipping all my figures home. Waiting to see a mountain of boxes at my house :) When I was looking for tips I landed on your channel and hands down you are the best! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Good tips. I always pre-ordered figures I definatley wanted as soon as I could, with a solid believe that aftersales prices sky rocket high. However, I recently discovered this may not always be the case, as I was surprised to see the repaint Boba Fett (non-throne special edition) for just under 200GBP on Toys Wonderland! I did pre-order it, then cancelled due to lack of space and my thoughts on this version of the character's action time. Then this was a bargin I couldn't pass on and yet it's still a good figure.
Great video Keco👍👍 I especially like your last point about collecting within your means and not run into a pee pee contest with others. I am of the older category you mentioned 😀
Great information! Even for some experienced collectors. I use Sideshow (primary), and Big Bad Toy Store (BBTS). Never had any issues and they both have good customer service. Could you please make a video on buying options for Queen Studios and Inart? They are showing promise for the sixth scale community
If buying from eBay, make sure to look at the sellers feedback. I personally wouldn't buy from anyone with less than 100% and make sure buyers protection is an option. Look at all photos and ask for more if you are still not comfortable. Also read the description carefully and ask loads of questions if you need. I've bought dozens from eBay and have had no issues if you are careful.
All my hot toys Figures I have bought from mercari at very reasonable prices and a good majority have came with no issues at all, had like maybe 1 or 2 issues where something very minor wasn't described in the listing but other than that yea, I recommend mercari as well for any new collectors, just make sure you check the actual reviews on the sellers page
Hey Keco have you bought stuff at the Toy Department?? Watch Josh Pence videos, got some nice Hot Toys and other toy lines. Get my stuff at SS, thinking about doing some orders at my comic book store.
They’re mainly known for legit checking shoes and designer clothes but now they’ve added in collectibles which is pretty cool you should check them out because I legit can’t find one video of someone reviewing them.
I love Sideshow and have always had a good repore with them. I only had one bad experience with a seller on Ebay some years ago. I had the winning bid on Ebay, on a Batman Begins collectable . Before Ebay had a buyer protection, the seller told me my bid was too low, and that he was selling me one that was similar to the winning bid. After waiting for 3 weeks and nothing going on, I asked for a refund, I didn't hear back from him again until just before Christmas. He said that he'd mail me a refund shortly after the holidays. He never did, and my patience was done at that point. I reported him to Ebay, and he had a fit. So my advice is to check out the seller, and it's fraudulent, report him. Ebay will usually ban him from selling. Nowadays, Ebay will side with the buyer, and you'll get a refund.
Your collection is awesome but how do you feel about spending that much money? 😅 I’m not a collector,but I ordered Sideshow Clone Wars Obi-Wan and Anakin,I absolutely love them but now my whole family is making me feel guilty for spending that much money on a toys. And I’m absolutely torn- I love those figures but at the same time I know that they are right and toys shouldn’t cost that kind of money because they are just toys after all 😢 despite all of that I’m enjoying your videos,thank you!
If it's YOUR money, no one should really tell you how to spend it. How do I feel personally? I don't mind because it's something I can continually enjoy as opposed to wasting the money on going out, drinks, etc. it's a hobby, for fun...
Love how genuine the video is and how much you show concern of the consumer. Really appreciate that from content creators. Great job!
Why thank you! That was my goal
New collector here, and this has quickly become one of my favorite channels!
Love to hear that! Thanks for checking it out
As a newbie, I appreciate your honesty and transparency. Thanks for the solid content.
Always appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I "LOL" with that Breaking Bad clip 😆 🤣 😂 Good one Keco. Keep up the great work sir!!👍
Honestly, one of my favorite lines in the show LOL
Great video. A lot of these lessons I had to learn the hard way😂, but I have no regrets. I love this hobby.
Thanks for watching!

Sounds awesome!
Same situation with me! Being going in since I was a kid and now that I’m getting hot toys he has no problem taking off shipping and 20% he’s awesome
As always great video . You touch on a lot of valuable points. I do try to watch all your videos even a veteran collector can learn a few new tips
Thanks for checking it out. I try to make EVERY video worth everyone's time. Thanks for the feedback

Wow! Really appreciate the compliment. Can't wait for you to see the pile of loot!
Slideshow Collectibles is asking for a Personal Customs Code (PCC), do you know what that is?
I do not. You can chat their representatives online on their site. They are very helpful
Just curious, are the figures from Pop Collectibles used?
Everything I've bought from them have been new and sealed, but I don't use them anymore so I can't speak to recent practices
@@KeCoCollects Alright. Thanks for the input! I was asking because I'm interested in the Hot Toys Venompool and I was hoping to pick that up soon
@@KeCoCollectsare you able to dhare the reason why you don’t use them? I want to buy something from them but I keep seeing mix reviews
@@mcguzman5398 they were less than straightforward on their inventory, pricing, and shipping times. Wasn't worth the headache to me
@@KeCoCollects thanks for the response, oh well I guess I will have to miss out on the inarts batman.

Not older... just "seasoned" :)
Thanks, do u have a video on where and how you store your boxes?
I do! Check out "the cave of wonders" On my page

Great call! I may have some things to say about QS... stay tuned!
Hello question should I buy a used hot toys any cons about it because I'm thinking about buying a war machine Mark 1 on eBay

Yes! Do your diligence 👏🏻
U know anything about stockx? They have a bunch of hot toys on sale for deep discounts
I personally haven't, but unless there is a strong return/refund policy, id stay away. Better safe than sorry!
Cant wait to get that CW Witch from ya. Thank you in advance.
Going in the mail soon! Appreciate you
Hey Keco have you bought stuff at the Toy Department?? Watch Josh Pence videos, got some nice Hot Toys and other toy lines. Get my stuff at SS, thinking about doing some orders at my comic book store.
I've bought SEVERAL from TD. I even have a video where I went with my uncle around all the Cincy toy shops :)
hello ! I want to buy in SS but my account is new. How long does it take for the order to arrive if it is domestic shipping (ready to ship tomorrow?
Depends on where you live. They are based out of California
What’s better plastic or Diecast? I heard people say Diecast has discolouration issues and you need to buy some oil on it to maintain, is this all bs?
Die cast is premium materials. Never heard of oiling it ever
When he said “Ages range from very young to rather old” my dentures fell out 👴🏻
I think they make some glue for that!
Would you recommend alter ego comics i am a new collector i been debating for a while
Yes, they are legit.
@@KeCoCollects i didn’t expect you to respond honestly this video has been up for a while lol thank you so much
@@AndresGarcia-wd4ql I need to make a more updated version lol. BUT there is a list of preferred vendors on the r/hottoys reddit page
Where do I get the breaking bad figure in the background
They are from Threezero. Found them on eBay
@KeCoCollects ok
@KeCoCollects when I went on threezero it just showed bobbleheads
@ they are older, sold out figures. You will neeed to check eBay or an app like that on the secondary market
What do you think about StockX? Some of the prices feel like they’re way too good to be true hope you can make a video about them.
Never heard of them honestly.
They’re mainly known for legit checking shoes and designer clothes but now they’ve added in collectibles which is pretty cool you should check them out because I legit can’t find one video of someone reviewing them.
When I look at the figs i don’t see a buy button
Where?
Great video as usual!!
Always appreciated
So what website do I buy it?
Sideshow for in the states, toys buying agent outside
I love Sideshow and have always had a good repore with them. I only had one bad experience with a seller on Ebay some years ago. I had the winning bid on Ebay, on a Batman Begins collectable .

Times were wild before with eBay!
Keco teach them well!
Thanks for watching
How often do you have to tone that hair ? You keep your hair short man props to ya
LOL! My wife is a hair stylist (I can't style to save my life) but she keeps me fresh and up to date :)
Is Stockx trustable or……no?
I have never heard of anyone buying figures from there unfortunately

Have u bought from Mercari?
I have! Got my Tarkin / Vader 2 pack from there. Same rules apply... just be cautious!
@@KeCoCollects sometimes mercari has comic shops selling figures
The worst is when you buy a figure, sell it, then buy it again. Ugh I pretty much use sideshow n bbts. I Just stick with clones
For sure! Thankfully I haven't had to "rebuy" yet
Thank you 😊
Thank U for watching
Hot toys played me with arena boba 😩
Played many of us LOL
First!
Hello!
