From $50 to $35, what a *drop*! Not that I care, anyway. I stopped caring about limited stuff a long time ago.
One thing I do care about is the mentallity that anyone should pay what he wants and people should shut up. Sorry, no. Those people paying what they want are FEEDING scalpers. You're free to do whatever you want with your money, but don't expect anyone to not give you a reality check while you're being a fool. Counter-advertisement works for the community, it's healthy, and a good fellow fan should support it. We're fans, not slaves, have some self respect.

Headband drama aside (which I don't care about since it doesn't affect me), I find the title of this thread really obnoxious. Looks like something a 13 year old would make on GameFAQs (caps, obnoxiously long punctuation), not an official ad.

they are set to self destruct (rot) in less than a years time.

Sweet. Let's insult people to get a point across. Some people are not only unreasonable but insist on putting fans who missed out down. Love it.
I feel most of the prices are fair except for the headband. It is what it is.

I find it ironic that in the text message he clearly states the headbands were limited to one per dealer so he had to have all of his employees line up for one.
jay724
Totally agree. I was the first one that mentioned that the botcon figures were decently priced.
Sioce
No doubt. Just have to be faster than them.

Honestly, I think you'd be hard pressed to find an online retailer who DIDN'T scour stores for new product.
It's just easy money if you happen to grab some Vehicons off the pegs, in addition to your normal stock, you know?
Sioce
I'm in SoCal and never have an issue getting anything I am looking for… In fact I'm totally caught up on botshots and Prime.
Course I am a bit more south than you.
I hear the worst of the retailers as far as scouring stores is BBTS. Guess that's the nature of living in the same area as an online toy store.
Karhukjnsi
Yup. SoCal is plagued with Toy Arena, they scour TRU, Walmart and Target, and suck 'em try (not just Transformers), they especially seem to put up a fight in the North OC area.
Sioce
Here ya go,
He mentioned earlier in our conversation that a mistake had been made, but this is when he specifically said it was the headband and freebie.
A full half hour before the tweet. He does not do his own programming, he has staff do it for him. Any changes on his website are not instantaneous. Took 2 hours for this change to take effect.
He also mentioned the PITA it was to get the headbands.
I cut off his info because I don't think he wants it out there.
Hope that helps a few of you drop the pitchforks.
SamiKai
Sorry but many people find it hard to believe it was a mistake. Regardless of whether or not you were texting the owner.
Provide proof other than your word and you will effectively change the view of many.
Sioce
It is crap because it is wrong, yet being spread as truth.
bossprime
That's not crap, it's a very justifiable observation given the circumstances.
Sioce
Stop spreading your crap. I was texting the owner when he was talking about the mistake being made. The rerun had nothing whatsoever to do with it.
The message he sent me about the mistake on both the headband and freebie price error was at 730 am.
SamiKai
Yes, when will people realize worth and value are not set by some book. They are relative to any unique buyer or seller
03Mach1
And for the non-believers in the thread, the price was only lowered after The TFCC anounced a second run of the headbands.
Sioce
I think it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Just like everything else in this hobby.
Much like the custom class figure. To me it is not worth the $1000 that some have sold for. I can customize a rts jazz into the same toy. The official one is of course worth more. But why would I pay for it when I can make one myself. AND it will look better than the official version!
For the slow people in the thread, the price was lowered to $35.
MechaV
Oh come on, you can't honestly think that 50 bucks for what is essentially an eraser tip is justifiable.
Especially when there are cheaper alternatives that look better.
Sioce
Not able to read, but still think your opinion is valid!
Ahahahahahahaha
