No news from pre-order made back in February 2022, automated responses from emails, delayed charge-back, rude owner when spoken in person. Last I heard, this shop closed down and the owner disappeared. If anyone hears from the owner and opens up shop somewhere else, do not deal with this person. Avoid at all costs! read more

2 Items ordered a in 2021 and 2022 and still haven't received either of the items (when other websites have had said items for over a year)... multiple emails were sent, no replys for several months, over social media a very rude reply was sent back to me as I had asked for updates, staying I don't know how to read or properly send emails. I would very highly not recommend this company to anyone purchasing items and expecting said items to arrive timely if not at all. I'll take it as a loss as I was beyond my number of days on PayPal to submit for a refund, I would just warn anyone out there that you are likely to be succumbed to fraud and theft from NMC. read more

I was looking for a collectible, but I didn't want to pay the eBay price. By miracle, I found it at NMC toys! I register, I order, I pay and I wait. And wait. And wait. I send a mail asking what's going on. All I got was a canned response. I wait. After 3 weeks, I finally contacted my credit card company to complain and get a "temporary" refund. Now, I'm filing a complain at Frauds Canada. This SCAMMER must be stopped. read more

One of mybo4ders didnt even come in amd i got deducted a restock/or cancelation fee lol amd he never had the product to begin with amd them i had to use store credit. To top ot off he blamed me lol! read more

Let's just say it straight up. Terrible business, terrible customer service, zero commitment to whatever customers remain, terrible, lazy and EXTREMELY rude store owner. If you're looking to give someone money to be treated poorly, by all means throw some money in their direction. Seeing how he responds to people's reviews of the terrible business that he is running poorly is all you need to know about how he runs and operates his business. Try these places instead: CMD store Toys on Fire These alternatives are Canadian, have WONDERFUL customer service, get products when they're released, send products with care and don't charge you when you cancel your order. Did I mention that these hacks at Northmen Collectibles CHARGE YOU when you cancel an item that they say is "delayed" but every other store on the planet has? They're shameful. Stay away... read more

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! We ordered two items from here and didn't receive them. We tried several times to ask for the items and received the same response, they have not come in yet. No refund and no items. Stay away!!! read more

Beware!! Fraud!! The owner and ONLY employee there is named Austin. He is the - Owner. Sales. HR. Admin. Team Lead. Driver, Law Team. CEO. etc He posts items for Pre-Order & For Sale. You will NEVER receive your item. He will give you every excuse as to why it is YOUR FAULT that you haven't received your order. Please pay particular attention to all of Austin's replies on Social Media. Facebook, Instagram, Google Review. You will see a pattern of the same excuses & accusations from Austin. He has ripped off almost 400 people!! These good people have started a Facebook page called NMC Toys Survivors This number is still growing sadly. How bad must Austin's business be to have a large group of people band together to create a webpage devoted to preventing further acts of Fraud? I'm looking forward to his retort. I hope you are too.

I strongly suggest that you don't buy from this store, especially if you are looking at preordering items. Don't take my word for it, go to the store Facebook page: under each post there are comments of people asking where their order is, or why they don't get answers for weeks/months when contacting support. While on Facebook, search for "NMC Toys Survivors" for more...entertaining...recounts from people who bought from this store. The store is just one guy but apparently must have multiple personalities. If you email one the store addresses, he may ignore the message and tell you that you should have used another address instead (I guess he doesn't know how to create forwarding rules...). Luckily I was able to recover all my money after he didn't deliver any order I made. That's probably because I didn't fall for his tactics of dragging communications and did a chargeback via CC before my window closed (and guess who emailed right away after that...). He kept saying the distributor didn't deliver... but the same items were readily available for weeks even on Amazon. Visa refunded also his idiotic restocking fee (for what, since he never had stock to begin with?). If you have preorders, I suggest you just go the chargeback route and don't waste time trying to cancel via the store support email, unless you are just at the beginning of your cancellation window. Be ready for some...colourful...messages, but just stay calm and respectful if/when replying. It definitely helps when making your case with your CC company. Btw, your cancellation window starts from the promised delivery date, not from when you made the order (mention that if they push back). Also, if you are in Ontario and your purchase is over $50, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act. Check under "Late Delivery" and you'll find that "26 (1) A consumer may cancel a future performance agreement at any time before delivery under the agreement...if the supplier, (a) does not make delivery within 30 days after the delivery date specified in the agreement or an amended delivery date agreed to by the consumer in writing". read more

This is not good business practice. I bought an item and never received it. Tried contacting the owner dozens of times without any response. Finally got ahold of him on Instagram but he then blocked me. He always sends long messages saying he will respond to email messages but it never happens. Save your money or look elsewhere! read more

If you want to spend $50 for a broken toy and then get your requests for an exchange/refund ignored since December 26, 2022, then purchase from NMC Toys Toronto. read more

Worst experience with an online retailer ever. The owner Austin is rude, belligerent and completely ignorant. He's absolutely running a ponzi scheme by taking customer's money and never sending the products out. Read all the New comments on Google. There's hundreds of us who've been scammed and there are FB groups and Reddit groups now about how this guy scams buyers with pre-orders. Even if you file a claim after 120 days on a pre-order he charges a restocking fee that your bank won't get back. So essentially he is able to scam you for the restocking fee. Imagine all that free cash he's taken from us on these pre-orders with restocking fees. What a trash human con artist. This man needs to be out of business. I hear talk about a class action lawsuit also. read more

Long read but do yourself a favor if you plan on ordering from NMC Pre ordered a figure in August 2022, figure was scheduled for September 2022. Fast forward to the beginning of October, curious if the release was pushed back I emailed NMC's Austin beginning with I'm not making a complaint just seeking some information regarding the figures release. I was aware of the wait period for a response was delayed due to covid and he's the only person running his site so I waited over a week just for some acknowledgement, I mean the site has 2 seperate support emails(pretty redundant in and of itself) so I emailed the second support contact email with the logic "perhaps I was mistaken and I sent it to the wrong address and he doesn't respond if it's not the correct email(again baffling) so I'll send pretty much the same email amd apologize for the double email and explain yourself.". Fast forward to the beginning of November 2022. Still no response from Austin or whoever he hired to answer the email for either of my emails other than the auto response he consistently resorts to mentioning as if it's some fine print of a contract everyone misses when in fact I fully understand the auto response and its contents so maybe stop repeating yourself as a defense, but I divulge. As I stated zero responses for over a month. So in my third email I questioned why it takes so long just to get in contact with him for simple information, again surprise no response. So as a final and what I thought would be a fruitless effort, I commented on a old fb post from 2 months prior when I asked about my figures release on said post. Miraculously to my bewilderment Austin had decided to answer me and of all places on the fb post from 8 weeks prior. What I got in response was laughable to say the least and a small example of Austin's attitude to everyone of his customers whom had any sort or complaints. To quote one of the many angry former customers " I suppose it's always a "you live and you learn" experience with NMC. Sorry you had to go through that, like so many others have in the past. The problem is he over-promotes his business on the web so it gets the top hits when you're searching for an item, making it look like the shop is legit and reputable. However, it's any but that and far from the best option for preorders or general consumer reliability. A search of his consumer reviews and revelation of extremely low ratings confirms that. NMC's owner is a toxic powder keg running with on a hair trigger - he's always looking for a fight and will play passive-aggressive with avoidance on communication until he feels he has the upper hand to chew into customers. Utterly personal and not at all professional or relevant to the issue of sales, but that's his business model." This pretty much sums up everything and even had one person post a thread of many more displeased former customers which I will attach here aswell http://www.actionfigurenews.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=38724 The funny thing is that after I commented on the 8 week old post on fb he became suddenly very responsive with his robotic yet disrespectful passive aggressive responses on fb and now through my emails. Yes surprisingly he finally answered my emails only to further belittle me and talk down to me instead of being a professional and just giving me a reply and apologizing he decided to treat a paying customer with no respect and only respond when a complaint was made. To state the obvious I canceled my pre order no matter how little a difference it may make to Austin he isn't getting a cent of my money now or ever and I'll be sure to try to get thus point across to anyone looking to do what he calls business. Lastly and almost as an insult he got his employee to answer my first 2 initial emails which he himself already answered after I had already recieved my email for refund notice. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this guy and his scam of a business. Attached is some screenshots of his responses and my emails to show his less Than professional way of response. As well as his response to my Google review where he seems to try make me out to be the bad guy and I was the one being unreasonable. To Austin (sales) at NMC reply all you want to in your defense but all evidence points to the contrary. Have a fantastic existence read more

See all

Please take my testimony and utilize it before proceeding in doing business with this scammy business. In April 2022, I placed a pre-order for an item they had for sale on their website. As someone who prefers to help mom and pop/small independent businesses, I looked forward to receiving my item within a few weeks after placing my order. Fast forward to July, and the item still had not arrived and I was constantly e-mailing the business owner and his employee for updates on when it would arrive with no success. After numerous emails, I emailed them requesting my order to be cancelled and a refund and they simply ignored me. After having enough of their games, I filed a case with PayPal to have the situation resolved. The Vendor was given two weeks to reply to PayPal before they closed the case and only replied a few hours before the case closed in order to prolong them from refunding me. It was then I asked PayPal for assistance by filing an escalation case that PayPal took a look at all the receipts I provided them (e.g. emails sent to request a refund, business replies, etc.) that on October 4th they ruled in my favor and refunded my money. This business is nothing but a retail Ponzi scheme. Please look at the negative reviews they've received on Google Reviews and Yelp! (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/northmen-collectibles-toronto-3) to see I am not the only one they tried to rip off by refusing to refund their money for pre-orders they've placed years before. All the positive reviews are apparent fake reviews posted by the business itself in order to jack up their rating and appear to be a legit, trustworthy business. REPEAT, DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAMMERS! If they refuse to refund you, as a consumer you have rights and should contact the Better Business Bureau ( www.bbb.org ) or the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Protection ( https://www.ontario.ca/page/filing-consumer-complaint ) for their assistance in getting a refund. Just like No Frills and Sobeys, I have plenty of receipts on hand to validate my argument and chronicle the six month ordeal they put me through in order to prevent me from getting a refund. THIS BUSINESS IS A SHAM AND A COMPLETE FAIL! If I can give them zero starts I would. read more

I am so happy that this place is basically closed down now. The website is down and you cant contact them at all. I ordered a pop from there that i waited almost a year to get and i finally got it. They asked before hand if i would just like a store credit because the pop wasnt available... good thing i said no, because i would have never seen that money again. The guy was trying to run the business on his own and didnt have a care of customer service. Stressing all the time too. This business wasnt for him. Hope he finds a good passion in his life that he can do, this one didnt cut it. read more

austin is a lazy store owner. what kind of piece of trash makes customers wait 3 weeks for a refund? i had to contact paypal support and then he gets mad at me saying if i read that it was a pre order product that i wouldn't be in this position in the first place. people make mistakes all the time and he cant even handle giving people refunds in an ideal timed manner. austin is an asshole and i hope he reads this read more

15 Months And Still Waiting I ordered a few items via NMCToys.ca on June 4, 2021. It's now September 23, 2022 and never received my order. They had no problem taking my money immediately. The owner Austin Da Silveira's best offer was store credit. Store credit is no good if you don't send the items I order with it. I'm currently disputing the transaction with Paypal and I hope for a favorable conclusion, despite the 180 days limit. In the meantime, I'm ensuring I leave reviews everywhere I can so people can stay away from his website and hopefully his business practices will end. This has to be the worst customer service I experienced and the worst business owner and a thief I had ever dealt with. read more

I've ordered a bunch of items from this site, and have never had a problem. Sometimes, pre-orders might get delayed, but the owner is always very upfront about availability issues - more often than not, it has to do with distribution chain, which I entirely out of their hands, unfortunately (as a small business, it's not really a fair comparison to complain that you're still waiting while EB Games has something available...one is a multi-million dollar franchise, and one is an awesome dude who started a company out of a small Toronto office). I recently inquired about something I had ordered which still had not been made available, and was given an explanation, as well as the option to cancel my pre-order and use that money towards any of the alternative versions that were currently in stock. I decided to hold out for my original order, but I liked being given that option. I've messed up few times with my orders, and each time customer service has helped me out (including grabbing a package BACK from Canada Post to update the address after I moved and forgot to make changes to my account!). The prices are fair, sale events pretty common, and the fact that it is a passionate collector running a Collectibles business is very clear, and appreciated! I'll continue to place orders through NMC and am happy to be supporting a small business like this one! read more

My pre order was available in other stores already and kept waiting for them to email me that my order ready. NOTHING! Asked for refund and accepted penalty. All delay tactics. Its point less to talk to them so just escalate it. Look them up in forums and its the same story. Look at all the thumbs up on negative review 30-60. That's how many salty people who look at their display shelf and see a missing figure and reminded to check their review page and thumbs up on negative reviews. DO NOT PRE ORDER HERE read more

Claimed they were sending items in Jan, it is now almost September. Claimed they would send a refund in April, it is now almost September. Threatened to sell my items, banned my account and told me never to contact them again. Have not reached out to me once, I always had to initiate contact. I can only guess this is because they hoped I would simply forget and they could steal my money. I have been forced to contact Consumer Protection. They refused to even respond to a official government agency. They are now on the Consumer Beware list. You have been warned, get out now. Doing any further business with this company is a risk/gamble read more

Placed pre-orders two years ago and still have not received my items. They refuse to refund my money and ignore emails inquiring on my order.

I've been scammed. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This "business" is a complete scam. The fraudster who runs it spends more time on excuses on why he won't send out his orders than actually filling them. He's learned that postponing orders long enough will mean credit card companies and PayPal will not offer refunds. BEWARE!!!!! read more

I had pre ordered two items in October 2022. Items have been paid for. To this day there has been no communication from nmc toys. After several attempts to contact them, you get a generic form email containing some sort of an excuse for the delay. Avoid dealing with this store. read more

Beware and shop elsewhere! Really just an all-around terrible experience. I waited 10 months for my order to arrive when it was supposed to be sent out one week after I placed my order. Ten whole months! After placing my order and seeing it had not even shipped after one month, I reached out to the owner via their support system. I was ignored and received no response. I then reached out over email and social media and again was ignored. After two months of waiting I left a much-deserved negative review of this store, and the owner finally responded to that. In his response the owner blatantly lied and said I never reached out to him. He then proceeded to call me names, and sent several aggressive and condescending emails to me (he somehow managed to find my email address and order after the fact, though he still pretended I never sent him anything). When I told the owner I wanted to cancel the order after waiting so long and dealing with the horrible customer service, he tried to charge me 10% as a restocking fee. Had I known I would be waiting several months for in-stock items, I never would have ordered in the first place. Not wanting to pay any more money to this store than I already did, I decided to wait. And so I waited, and waited, and I finally got my items after ten months of waiting. This was the worst shopping experience I've ever encountered. No customer service, no professionalism, and absolutely ridiculous and unjustified delays. read more

In fear of the owner sending me more angry emails and harrassing me, I will keep this short. If you pre-order from this shop, you will likely have the same experience that I and dozens of others who have written reviews have had - you won't receive your item. Guess how long I've waited on an order slated to come in 2020? 12 months. In a few months from the time of writing this review it will be 2022. He charges your card first (the owner, Austin Da Silveira) and charges you if you request a refund, no matter your reason. But what is worse than losing money on something you didn't receive at the fault of NMC Toys is that the owner will degrade you, talk down to you, attack your character, your knowledge and your experience. He will call your struggles a "sob story." He proudly asserts, on public reviews and on reddit that the customer is NOT always right. Please stay away from NMC toys. Please. As someone in business, this is nothing against small businesses nor is it slander, but for the safety of fellow collectors, STAY AWAY. Austin if you see this, don't you dare mention the fact that I have the balls to mention your name in a review. You have the balls to scam money out of hard working Canadians while hiding behind the image of being a hard working small Canadian business. It's ironic and disgusting. read more

I would give them a negative star rating if possible. Ordered a couple of figures towards the end of January with a supposed delivery of March. Never any communications from them regarding delays. Took several days to never for a reply. Its now July and I still have not received my items. Asked for a refund and was never given one. THEY HAVE NO PHONE NUMBER SO YOU CANT CALL THEM! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES! You might as well burn your money- at least you will have the fun of watching it burn. read more

Another reviewer said it quite well: "There are two types of customers at NMC Toys: those that have had issues with an order, and those that have yet to. For those that have never had to reach out to this store's support system (and calling it a "system" is me being generous), congratulations, you're one of the lucky few. For everyone else, you will know exactly what I'm talking about when I say that this is without a doubt the worst store to shop at in Canada. I sent an email to NMC Toys about my order which has been delayed for months, and Austin Da Silveira's response (the owner of this business) was nothing short of condescending and lacking any semblance of professionalism. Never have I come across a business that is run by a man who has such contempt and disdain for his customers. And yet, he expects his customers to show him nothing but respect in return as he holds their orders and their pre-payments hostage. If you've ever seen that episode of Kitchen Nightmares with Amy's Baking Company (you know, the one where Gordon Ramsay gave up trying to help the business because the owners were such a lost cause) the owner of NMC Toys acts strikingly similar to the owners of that restaurant. And that's not hyperbole. Austin immediately paints himself as a victim to even the slightest amount of criticism, and he refuses to show any empathy for customers that have been waiting for delayed orders for months. He even goes so far as to call all of his critics 'haters' and 'Karens' as he mocks them on his Facebook page like a teenager would. Ironically, Austin embodies a 'Karen' to a T--he's just too narcissistic to recognize that. And before the owner tries to discredit my review because my name doesn't match anyone in his 'system' (again, there's nothing systematic about the way he runs his business) let me be clear that I'm using an alias. Lord knows if I used my real name I'd never receive my order from this store; although given how long it's been delayed I've about lost all hope that I'll actually receive anything I paid for. In conclusion, if you are thinking about shopping at NMC Toys, avoid at all costs. If you've shopped here before and had no issues with your order, count yourself lucky and don't take your chances again for risk of being subjected to the horrible treatment that myself and so many other patrons of this store have been subjected to. I suppose the fact that the store's logo is a rip off of RUN DMC should have tipped me off to the notion that the owner has no integrity whatsoever. You live and you learn I guess. PS. For anyone wondering how there can be so many positive reviews for such an awful store, here's your answer. The store's owner recently ran a promotion where he paid people for reviews. Of course, this promotion was only advertised on his social media accounts, so only people who actively follow his pages (again, the lucky few who have not yet been scorned by this business) were encouraged to leave a review. If a business feels the need to change their name (this store was formally called Northmen Collectables--you can see even more awful reviews if you look that up) and actively pay for reviews to boost their reputation, well, I think you get the idea." read more

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! Do not pre-order, do not give this place a dime. I have been waiting for over a year for pokemon cards that were relased in May 2022. It is now June 2023. I have emailed over a dozen times asking for a refund, and no one has responded. I can only assume my money has been stolen and I will never recived the items that i paid for. HUGE SCAM!!! check other reviews, I am not the only one to deal with this shady and unprofessional "business". DO NOT BUY! read more

I ordered one figure from them in 2019 and received it no problem. Included was a request for a good Google review and receive a VIP discount on my next order. I did so, and used the discount to order 4 figures (some pre-orders) totalling over $100. The pandemic hit, and supply chains were disrupted, so I was willing to cut them some slack and wait longer. It is now April 2023, and I have since purchased two of the four figures from other vendors. I have emailed 3 times to cancel my order, since they obviously are unable or unwilling to fulfill the deal, with no response beyond an automated reply. I even used *Urgent* in the tagline like they suggest. I cannot even find a phone number online to call them and speak to a live person. I have pretty much given up on getting my money back, so now they get bad reviews. I'm going to go find my review on Google and see if I can edit or delete it. DO NOT BUY FROM NMC TOYS. EVER. read more

Terrible customer service!!! Ordered and paid for a very expensive item in August for my Son's Christmas. Was told at that time that it would be released in October, then November then December. I waited until December 17th to cancel the order which I believe was extremely fair. I had contacted them on numerous occasion to be told they didn't know anything. When I contacted them to cancel the order they were very hostel and accused me of ordering with no intention of taking the item. They did refund my money, however, it was 35.00 short. I will never deal with these people ever again and I would advise you to do the same. Totally dissatisfied. read more
