Looks like you've found a fairly new Chinese startup, most likely a one-man shop. He has no online reviews, but I could say the same for half the people I do business with on EBay. His inventory is impressive, with very competitive prices for things no longer available through ToyArk sponsors.

If you buy something, please come back to the Ark and share your experience! :)

I am tempted but hesitating, I see he has hundreds of black series Darth mauls for only $11, which seems way to great to be legit

New retailers will sometimes try to attract business by a strategy known as "penetration pricing," which (in retail jargon) means to offer a low price for a new product or service in order to attract customers away from competitors. That might be what's going on here. Other things might be at work, too.

If you contact Customer Service for your credit card and explain the situation to them, I believe that it is possible for them to set a kind of 'cap' for the amount that a retailer can charge for a transaction. If you feel strongly motivated to pull the trigger, do this investigation first. Protect yourself. ;)

or he could be a china-bay seller that figured out how to "acquire" complete carded figures extremely cheep (or free) and sell them China-bay style (starting cheep with a quantity of ten or so, then moving the price up until they don't sell.) and decided he could cut E-bay out.

I would avoid this!! I think I dealt with this site before but it was called something else and the web address was different but it is set up exactly the same with the fonts and the way it is listed. It was about a year ago and they had some super good prices on some stuff. So I ordered like 150$ worth of stuff and never got a thing. I had to file a claim and get my money back from my CC company.

Test your own luck, maybe it is legit , but My advice is buyer beware.

Looks to good to be true it normally is.

Those darth mauls are ko's most likely there are suddenly 100's of them on ebay right now. Shoddy paintwork and they look just a little off
