'Was stacking silver bullion, then later started on proof & high relief stuff, now become more engrossed on silver collectibles, colorized, unique shapes & finish, low-mintage ,Pop-Culture stuff. Examples are those from Perth & NZ Mint,  Canadian Mint such as 007 series,  Marvel,  Disney,  Star Wars etc etc. It's quite fun, doing it as a hobby mainly, albeit paying through the nose on the silver premiums!😄.
I esp like the NZ Mint's Chibi coins series, so damn cute & innovative designs! Some popular ones like Mickey Mouse, Star Wars , the Mandalorian coins sell out almost as quickly as are launched and proving to be real collector items, despite the ridiculous premiums!
Sometimes no choice but to buy them from dealers like First Coin & Power Coin when the mints sell out. 
Haha.  I know real hardcore collectors of graded coins will scoff at me but just asking what all your opinions are on such hobby?? Not real investments but more of a hobby!!

Finally got a email reply today + apology from Bullion mart. Now just trying to fulfill my order & paid shipping but still minor hiccups with their payment link.
Many tks to all for Yr replies. If all goes well & goods get shipped, I will, in good faith, not pursue matter further. Hopefully all will be OK but don't think I will be ordering from them ever again because of the bad experience! All unfortunate but that's life!
Thank you to one & all for the wonderful feedback
Cheers

I managed to get a couple of the 1oz "the child" coin from NZ Mint. Was sold out within 15mins of launch

Its true. I am a Singaporean stacker. This co is "Silver bullion" and they have an existing storage facility with a State-sponsored security firm & are expanding to a Freeport site near the Airport. A lot of high-end customers bought & storing 1000oz bullion bars, mostly rich non-Singaporeans.
