FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU HAVE A PHYSICAL RETAIL LOCATION? 

 

Yes.  Our retail showroom is conveniently located at 300 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15202, and features all the products we carry online as well as a few additional items.  Showroom hours vary per week.  Please follow our social media accounts for the most updated hours.  

 

WHAT IS A BLIND BOX? 

 

A blind box is a vinyl toy or figure which is sold in sealed packaging that completely hides its contents.  Blind boxes are identical in every way, and nobody— not even the manufacturer —knows which particular figure is inside the box.  The chance of getting a particular figure in a series varies, depending the odds ratio of finding each one.  “Chase” figures are rarer given their lower odds ratios, and thus, are harder to get.

 

DO YOU SELL MULTIPLE SEALED CASES OF BLIND BOXES & MINI-FIGURES?

 

Yes!  Please contact us at toys@timebombtoys.com if you are interested in purchasing multiple sealed cases of the same series.  Although the majority of our blind boxes and mini-figures are listed individually in our storefront, we often have a number of sealed cases in stock.  These sealed cases usually contain between 16 to 20 blind box figures.  Depending on the particular series, the purchase of multiple sealed cases may qualify you for special discounted pricing.  

WHAT ARE YOUR HALLOWEEN MASKS MADE OF?

 

The majority of the masks we stock from Trick or Treat Studios are sculpted of natural rubber latex, which is an extremely versatile and durable material that will allow the mask to last for 30+ years with proper care. The nostalgic look and feel of a good natural rubber latex mask also provides the best display impact when it is not being worn.  Please note that natural rubber latex may cause an allergic reaction in individuals who are latex-sensitive.

 

HOW DO  PRE-ORDERS WORK? 

 

Unless otherwise specified in the product description, items available for pre-order require full payment at the time of ordering.  Due to the high demand of most pre-order items, the cancellation of a pre-order will result in a 15% cancellation fee.  It is recommended you order pre-order items separate from those items that are currently in-stock, unless you do not mind waiting.  “In-Stock” items that are ordered in conjunction with pre-order items will be held until the pre-order item is available to ship.  The product description page for each pre-order item contains an estimated arrival time supplied to us by our vendors.   While every effort is made to keep these arrival dates as accurate as possible, please note that they are subject to change.  

 

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT? 

 

Time Bomb Toys LLC accepts all major credit cards- Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express -as well as PayPal.  With PayPal Express Checkout, you are able to pay safely and securely with your credit card, debit card, or PayPal balance, without sharing or transmitting any of your financial information.  You are NOT required to sign up for a PayPal account when utilizing this checkout method.

 

DO I HAVE TO PAY SALES TAX ON MY ORDER? 

 

Applicable sales tax will only be charged on orders shipped within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 

HOW FAST WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ORDER TO PROCESS & SHIP?

WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY ORDER?

 

We are able to cancel most orders, provided that they have not already been processed and delivered to the shipping courier. Please contact us at toys@timebombtoys.com if you would like to make a cancellation request.  Due to our expedited order processing, all order cancellation requests are subject to a 15% restocking fee.
