Frequently Asked Questions

This page is a translation provided for convenience. In case of discrepancy, only the French version is legally binding.

This FAQ aims to answer the most frequently asked questions about products, pre-orders, payments, delivery and the buyback of collections at Happy Heroes.

Products, authenticity & condition

Collecting is a matter of trust and detail. Here is how we select, assess and present the products we offer.

Are the products authentic?

Yes. All products offered by Happy Heroes are authentic. We do not sell any counterfeits or unofficial reproductions.

Do you sell new or second-hand products?

Happy Heroes offers new, second-hand and collectible products. The nature of the product is always specified on the corresponding listing.

Are the products complete?

The completeness status is indicated in the product listing. Any missing element or notable particularity is reported transparently.

How do you assess the condition of products?

Condition is assessed visually and functionally where relevant. In case of doubt or an intermediate situation, two collection officers confer in order to adopt the fairest possible assessment.

What does the Bronze, Silver, Gold… classification mean?

This classification is indicative and is intended to help collectors find their bearings. It does not constitute a contractual expert appraisal. The photos and detailed descriptions remain the reference elements.

Are the photos contractual?

The photos provide as much information as possible on the quality and condition of the product. Variations in rendering may exist depending on the lighting or the screen used.

Can I request additional photos before purchase?

Yes, where possible. You can contact customer service to request additional information or visuals before ordering.

⏳ Pre-orders

Pre-orders allow you to reserve upcoming products. They involve specific lead times and conditions.

What is a pre-order?

A pre-order allows you to reserve a product before its official release or its receipt in stock. The dates communicated are indicative.

Are release dates guaranteed?

No. The dates shown are estimates: they depend on manufacturers and distributors and may change. Happy Heroes informs you of any delay, and if delivery goes beyond the announced date, you can ask for the sale to be cancelled and the sums paid refunded (Art. L216-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code).

Why is a deposit required?

The deposit allows the product to be reserved and the commitment to suppliers to be secured. Its percentage is shown on the product page; the balance is charged automatically when the item is shipped.

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes. The cancellation terms are set out in the pre-order terms.

What happens if a manufacturer cancels or delays a release?

In the event of definitive cancellation, the sums paid are refunded. In the event of a delay, your pre-order is maintained unless you ask to cancel it: beyond the announced date, you can obtain the cancellation of the sale and a refund of the sums paid (Art. L216-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code).

Payment & invoicing

Payments made on Happy Heroes are secure and regulated.

Is payment secure?

Yes. Payments are collected by CAWL, the Crédit Agricole solution operated by Worldline, on a page hosted by them with 3D Secure authentication. No banking data passes through Happy Heroes, and none is stored there.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank card (Visa, Mastercard and compatible cards), with 3D Secure authentication, for all orders, and Google Pay, except pre-orders. PayPal is also offered for all deliveries, except pre-orders (deposit paid by card). In mainland France, from €100: payment in 4 instalments possible with PayPal, subject to PayPal's approval.

When am I charged in the case of a pre-order?

The deposit is charged at the time of order. The balance is charged automatically to the saved card when the item is shipped.

Is an invoice provided?

Yes. An invoice is made available after the order and can be sent on request if necessary.

Delivery, returns & after-sales service

We pay particular attention to the shipping and tracking of collectibles.

What should I do if I have not received my parcel?

Check the tracking provided by the carrier. In the event of a problem or abnormal delay, contact customer service so that an investigation can be opened.

What should I do if my parcel arrives damaged?

You are invited to make reservations with the carrier where possible. Report it to Happy Heroes in writing, if possible within 3 days of receipt (excluding public holidays), to preserve recourse against the carrier (Art. L133-3 of the French Commercial Code), with photos of the parcel and the product if possible.

What should I do if the product does not meet my expectations?

You may exercise your right of withdrawal within 14 days of receipt, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Sale; return costs are at your expense. If Happy Heroes provides you with the return label, its cost is deducted from your refund. Check the outside (box, seal, visible condition) before opening the protective seal: once the seal has been opened, a return remains possible. Only a depreciation resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to check the item (assembly, display, signs of use, missing parts…) may be deducted from your refund, after case-by-case review; its amount is justified to you before the refund. In the event of a defect not visible from the outside, the refund is made in full.

What should I do if my product does not work?

Contact customer service as soon as possible. A solution may be offered under the applicable statutory guarantees.

Can I exercise my right of withdrawal?

Yes, under the conditions provided by law and detailed in the Terms and Conditions of Sale, except for exceptions linked to the nature of the products.

Buyback & selling to Happy Heroes

Happy Heroes also buys back products and collections under certain conditions.

Do you buy back collections?

Yes. Happy Heroes buys back second-hand and collectible products, after estimation and physical inspection.

How is the buyback price set?

The price is determined according to the condition, completeness, rarity and market demand at the time of the appraisal.

Is payment immediate?

Not quite. Happy Heroes starts the payment within 72 working hours on average after final validation of the buyback (General Terms and Conditions of Purchase, art. 10.2), by the method chosen at validation: SEPA transfer to an account in your name, or immediate credit to your Happy Heroes wallet, with a buyback bonus.
