Uh... same strategy for me as last time.  If I find them, fantastic.  If I don't - no problem.

Last time I managed to find all ten without going out of my way.

Discount code did NOT work - $120/12 = $10.00 each.

By law, I think they have to honor the coupon and swallow the loss. Does anyone have legal knoweledge on this?

I highly highly doubt this - I can't remember what it was but there was another incident where something seemed way too good to be true and we were later told that it was an error in the listing and that it couldn't be honored.

They're not going to do anything for us, evenflow.  But what they are going to do is temporarily suspend our order and hold it hostage for another $12 - 15, while they waste resources emailing hundreds or thousands of people that already finalized their orders and got confirmation numbers.

They're really going to wait for each individual customer to respond to an email?  I have trouble believing that.  I'll believe it when I see it.

As someone who went out of his way to secure help from attendees and paid an arm and a leg for these, there's a small part of me that is glad tons of people aren't getting them that easily and for 25% less with no tax either.

The rest of me thinks it was Hasbro's error and they need to suck up the monetary loss.  Sorry guys.

Couple things:

  • What's a "duece?"


Duece = Turd

I liked the vast majority of what I saw.  There is one thing though that I'm going to have a real hard time convincing myself to buy.  I don't know what his story is - but this guy looks retarded.  Outside of the lightsaber there's nothing about him that says Star Wars to me.

With Willrow and Hermi taken care of, Yarna's sure to be the undisputed #1 at this point.

I'd be down with 1 or 2 more DL's, one more BN, and maybe a few less IP to avoid feeling the need to stock up on as many pitchers.

Speaking of Comic Con Exclusives, sort of off topic though... if anyone is going and doesn't mind helping a guy out with the Commander Cody Mini Bust - let me know!   Now that C-IV is behind us it's time to cast a net for the next one...  8)

You're right of course.... perhaps we can catch up some other time... some other place...

I don't get it.  The more obscure the better.  I hope Hasbro makes every character that managed to find their way into the movies, especially OT, and no matter how short their time on screen was.

I hope Willrow gets made and then I hope he gets done again for Jabba's palace.

Not sure why anyone would root against something like that, but oh well.

I hold my staff at attention for hours, every single day, and they've never made a figure of me.

You just wait til' I start a petition.

Reply from seller:

"Hello, Other redemption certs sold for $10.00 more than we are asking. As you know I can ask any price I wish for any certain item. Because it might not actually cost that much doesnt mean I cant ask that much. What about the bids on $2.00 items that go for much more than that. You might not like this but it is not your problem. Back off if you dont like it and just dont bid or buy if you dont like the price. I personally could care less what you think. I have had several people ask me when I was selling the vintage figures included, if I would sell them just the certificate for the same price I was asking for the figures. Your disappointment does not upset me in the least, just dont buy from me. "

What an *******.

I wouldn't mind seeing the message that you sent him first that triggered the reply.

You got it.  This was the message:

"Hello.

I just wanted to ask what it is that makes you think it's okay to try to charge $69.99 for the stickers from the vintage figures. Maybe it was an error? But the only thing I can see here is someone trying to take advantage of someone else by convincing maybe an uninformed person that this is something special and worthy of that much money. You and I both know that for $69.99 you can buy all the toys, and get the stickers for free. So what it looks like, is like you're trying to find someone to make a mistake so you can get your set for free.

Stuff like that makes me sick. I hope there's a reasonable explanation for the price you're asking or that maybe it was supposed to say 9.99 or something like that. If not, I'll just say that it is always troublesome to see this type of thing happen."



And after his reply, I sent this last message:

"You're absolutely right, you can ask for whatever inane dollar amount you want.

Here's to hoping no one is gullible enough to be taken advantage of by you.

Have a nice day."



I'd also love to see redemption certificate auctions that ended at $79.99 or higher.  Surely no one is dumb enough to pay that much for these?  Maybe last time around when you couldn't find a Biker Scout, but this time they're all as good as the others.
