The Vault is a small, European-based passion project. I use my deep industry connections to secure international allocations that aren't typically available to the US market. While the majority of our bulk stock is sold directly to major US partners like Safari Zone Collectibles, I use my excess stock and limited allocations to help fund my own personal collection. Operating from my base in France, every single item is personally inspected before being packaged and shipped DDP. You are dealing directly with a fellow collector, committed to quality.
