Update – Amazon has begun cancelling orders for the £35 Masterpiece Optimus Primes, stating that they were “listed in error”. As of the time of this posting, the listing has not gone back up with the new price.
Amazon.co.uk have put up a listing for “Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime“. The listing was formerly priced at £35, but this turned out to be in error – the updated price has yet to be posted.

I did have the vocal minority in that sentence but figured it'd be clear who it is that I at least find repugnant.
But no, sorry, it's not all of you that scare us, just the annoyingly vocal minority. It just also happens it's pretty hard to avoid the relatively large amount of bad apples whilst also talking to the normal chunk of the community, and by extension much easier to stay in UK toy discussion where there is no such issue.
Did you really think this statement was aimed at chaps like you?

Why isn't this bitch closed already? There is nothing productive about this thread anymore.

What amazon cancelled orders because price is supposed to be 25.99. Not 35.99 i dobt see why people are mad.

Nice. Way to generalize and judge the rest of us based on a FEW bad apples.

^That review's just a stereotypical internet troll post. People are much tougher wedged between their monitors and their chairs, so that sort of crap pops up often. No doubt it's from a 4chan'r, as the post style doesn't particularly remind me of anyone who's been posting in here.
And really? I think it's about time this thread closed. It's reminded me and plenty of other UKers why we rarely come out of our thread to talk to you people.
4chan is for sure a festering hive of freaks and perverts. But, they rarely lie!
Indeed. But as above, they speak their minds and rarely lie. For an outsider looking in on our little community? I'd have to agree with them.
EDIT:: Well, not our little community, as our little thread is filled with sunshine and rainbows 99% of the time *high five!*

And when 4Chan looks down on you, you know you've gone sailing through the bottom of the barrel

With the crap that goes on over at their place, they're in no position to say anything bad about anyone.

Because they're being utter douchebags and way more immature than those crying a river over this mess. I know that cuz I'm immature meself which oooobviously makes me an expert in the field of immaturity.

I got my Hasbro MP10 for $100.
Got my Takara one for $200.
I'll live either way, although I still want the 3 I ordered to flip to support my crack habit.
So screw you forever more amazon.uk.co

Ah, y'see the issue is that some people here (Reaper Cloud stands out as a good example, at least currently- was he the one on about how buying things cheap is theft? what a dumbass) say things so dumb that I actually break out in a rash
And I certainly hope so! TRU are terrible for refusing to reduce things that don't sell. I actually think they sell them off to other retailers rather than cut the prices, or I dunno! I have no clue what happened to the rest of the Grimlocks and Hot Rods that didn't sell a few years back. We've never seen them again….well, Grimlock mostly.
That's not a bad idea, thanks! If I can find someone that wants the trailer for their Nemesis maybe we can cut a deal- better it go where it'll be appreciated than sit in my loft and be despised!

Let me explain my understanding of the situation. NOBODY CARES. Your pompous self-importance is stifling, and your decision to resurface to plague us once more maddening. Please, just go back to whatever website you've been hiding out in for the last few months and leave us be. I think we can all see that the majority of the fandom don't care for your being here, as has evidently been the same with previous fandoms you've assaulted with your noxious presence.
I won't even get into your quoted "explanation" here as it is quite honestly dog poop. And it's all already been said. So please, just go away.
Yeah we all knew it was coming. I would've preferred they cancel a little quicker, as the extended silence was giving me a glimmer of hope But, at least now the masses of insane yank collectors who jumped on the £35 listing will more than likely leave it be, and we'll be able to wait for a sale in relative peace.
moop. I like it. Though as has been said the price was £35, which hasn't been unheard of in our fair isles before. Usually for a clearance or sale, yes, but not unheard of. That bloody trailer spoils it all.
As for the rest of you. Gosh. Some of you really need to take a step back and look at yourself. You give Transfans a bad name with your behaviour. It's no wonder the 4chan bunch call us all transfags.

Why is someone castrated because they are laughing at your futile complaining? Realistically, it's a toy that everyone was happy to pay £99.99 for so why is everyone complaining that they can't get it for £34.99? It was pretty obviously never going to happen because Amazon had screwed up but people like yourself seem to think it's productive and mature to leave petty reviews blaming Amazon cause they couldn't get a toy. I think that first review you quoted pretty much sums up that attitude.
Work of art or not, when someone reports iGear to Hasbro because iGear's product will affect his sales of customs that's a pretty low road to take. Jin steals Hasbro and Marvel's IP all day long with his customs, but iGear aren't allowed to?
Jin pissed a lot of people off with the Ramjet situation and while I think the effect of his phonecall to Amazon was about as responsible for MP Prime being cancelled as me blowing my nose this morning was, he's still trying to act like some saviour. Is he sucking up to Hasbro to try and get a job with them? If that's the case then I can understand why he's doing it, but if not then I don't get it at all. I'd never buy one of his customs because of the Ramjet, so he's shot himself in the foot there.
Real mature. How'd you like it if I said all the butthurt coming from your side of the sea when it looked like we were getting this for $50 and Amazon wouldn't ship to you made it sound like it was September 11th all over again?
Grow up man, seriously.
No one is contesting the budget involved and frankly people were very naive to believe they'd get this for the price it is, but snobbery isn't called for. There is nothing more disgusting in collecting than the "I have more money than you and you're envious" attitude. Money is a privilege not a right and making fun of those less fortunate than yourself shows exactly how shallow and twisted you are. Every single person is a health issue or a job loss away from being poor. You're not better than anyone else because you have money.
A ******ed cliche perhaps about the Jerry's invading maybe? As far as biting the hand that feeds go, see above. I've spent around $3,000 on customs in the last year and a half, but not one cent of that went to Jin because of his actions with iGear. That is biting the hand that feeds you.

Typical response from an autist that takes his forum too seriously. Maybe you should read my other posts, to see that clearly isn't the case.
So again, no evidence? Didn't think so.
Might want to drop the overuse of ellipses too, it makes you looks like a moron.
