Anyone ever purchase from Cyber Hobby?

[aferguson]

i tried to buy something from Cyber Hobby but i keep getting a wierd security warning from their site that requires me to log back in. But even though i registered properly, my login attempts fail. What's up with that?

Anyway it just cost them a sale becaue i bought somewhere else.

I use to buy from them before when they had all those special 1/72 Dragon armor models. I never had a problem with them , but that was several years ago.

They've got a lot of exclusive planes out there too. Mostly Dragon 1:72.
Some other retailers have a few of them in stock, or you can punch up Cyber Hobby Exclusive in a search and you'll see some HTF planes.
Never bought from them though.
Things aren't a blowin' and a gowin' in the hobby like it used to.

I'm finding many sites lately suffering from neglect and inactivity, yet they're still up.

well i'm getting pretty fed up with cyber hobby.

2 months ago i tried to order a 1/144 B-29. After several tries i was finally able to place my order, only to be emailed 8 days later by them to tell me the item is out of stock. But it's still listed on their site for sale.

A few days ago, i tried to order again. A 1/144 B-17. And it looks like it's going to be the same story. After several days the status is still ''stock check''.....just like last time. I expect an email soon telling me it's out of stock. Their site lists 8 of them in stock.

That is pretty frustrating, Aferg.

For an online company to take 8 days to get back to you, telling you that the item is out of stock, is pretty bad service. Think I would take your business elsewhere.

as expected, i got my 'out of stock' notice today, a week after ordering. Their site has it for sale still and shows 7 in stock. Maybe the just don't like selling to round eye.
