sure it does
once BBTS opened the cases for people who ordered their sets of 6 wave 10 figures, or individiual figures...they made sure to set aside all of the blue Wraiths and not send them out with those orders. They only sent out the regular Wraiths in those assortments. Now they have lots of clear versions, and lots of people who pre-ordered Wraith who now don't have the clear version.
Smart people over at BBTS, that's for sure.

I'm not hating. I'm happy for you. Rock on Kroger. You just can't say "I've got 4 of them, but all you other guys, don't jump at one when you get the chance."
I'm not paying $30 because I just don't need one that badly, but for those that REALLY want one, pay $30 to your heart's content.

you know, I just about bought one, but I'm gonna skip it. I want one, but I haven't seen any of wave 10 yet. I think it's a rip off that they retail for $7.99 or less, and bbts is charging about 4x that. I'm going to take my chances. I go by WM every morning, and so I think I'll get a regular one, and if I score a variant, great. I hope that perhaps someone on the board will help me and sell me one for less than $30, especially when these turn out not to be so rare. I remember seeing that General Grievous clear variant from TRU on ebay for $100. And a week after they came out, I got one for free at TRU for buying my 2 boys and myself some lightsabers.

Wow, I guess the extra Wraith I ordered from them has no chance of being the variant! I had hoped they would treat this the same as the black head IG Destro. Maybe my internet only wave 10 case coming later this week will have one.

Yeah, I think I said on another thread that I MIGHT pay $25 for one. This is close, and I just can't make myself do it. It is a cool figure, and I wouldn't mind having one, but I just can't make myself buy something for the price of 3 or 4 other figures.

Agreed, every other case(same as reg.), now if he could only find the reg. version....hmmm do you think the reg. version may be hard to find in original release but swamped in a revision as reg. version only...?
Still, the price on this thing is gonna drop like a rock !
If you got 1 SELL IT !
If you want 1 wait a month and pay retail !

Just wait, I have been through 6 regular wraiths, but no variants, so they could be in equal proportions since this figure is not all that. Now the one that does not have a painted face under his helm, thats a different story! And one has White Underoos visible only when he is held under black light! Get on the chase for those variants!
No seriously, anyone with a Wraith does yours have "Cobra the Enemy" yellow sticker on the card front? I noticed my regular 4 do not have this logo even though he has a Cobra Sigil on his uniform armor. Odd since he is Cobra aligned...

i am not much for paying more then retail, but the Clear Wraith's are going for no less than $43.00 on EBAY. i just caved in and bought one for $29.99 from BBTS. i didn't have to pay extra for s/h since i already have a pile of loot. i figure what if this figure doesn't get any cheaper, $29.99 may not seem that bad a year from now.

this figure is only being produced in the first run and most online retailers will get them before the stores will and because online retailers get them first they wont be as easy to find in the stores..

It would cost at least $8 (probably a little more) if I shipped everything as it came in so my savings on shipping go toward the price in my mind. By the time I ship my PoL he'll be $6 to me. He didn't add any shipping to my existing order either.
I got one. Gonna let it sit in the POL though for a few days though. At least I can change my mind. For that amount, I could have just gotten 3 BATS, which btw, they actually have stock of!

ah what the hell! I ordered 2 just in case. Worst that can happen is that if I find them at the stores (which I'm sure I will), I can just resell them and get my money back.

once it shows that it has been shipped I will place another order for more if they still have them.. From what I heard there are suppose to be alot of these..
General Hawk59
10-07-2008, 05:38 AM
not only that I buy from them all the time I even have the number to one of the agents who works there and he knows im not a reseller so they wont cancel my order.. I also placed an order at brianstoys.com for the wave 12 eels.. I bought 30 of them.. They stilll have them on there site for pre order and when i talked to a sales rep yesteday they said there will be enough to complete my order time 50.. LOL so i guess they pre-ordered alot of them.. I love the new eels..

10-07-2008, 07:20 AM
the way i look at it 30 isnt bad considering they go for allmost 100 on ebay... Not only that brianstoys.com sells them for allmost 60. I dont mind paying 30 for a variant.. Now if I only did that when the yellow stalker was out.. :( I missed on that one..

Ebay should never be held as a basis for what something is worth. Just because they are $100 on Ebay just means people are idiots......and stupid.......They retail for $6.84-$9.99.........Thats what they are worth.......
Well, all gone now on BBTS.

I wasn't going to get one, then I thought about all the stores I visited last weekend. All of them were peg clogged with revision cases, and had been for weeks. Dukes, Baronesses, Vipers, Wild Bills, the newest items being comic packs and those pegs were so full the packs would barely stay on the peg. Looks like X-mas before they'll clear out.
So I went back and tossed one on my POL and shipped the pile, worste case my pre order case comes in with one and I take a small loss selling it on ebay.

i have no problem with people buying 1 to make an extra 20 or something, its the guys charging a buy it now 99.99 is what kills me, nothing wrong with trying to make a few bucks to cover your gas expense hunting these damn things.i didnt mind paying 30 plus shipping. infact i ordered 1 from brians toys 2 weeks ago and am going to sell it for what i paid for it at the time, 39.99 plus shipping.
i dont even mind buying a figure off someone for a few dollars above retail if they went out of thier way to find it, used thier gas and so forth, saves me from hunting. too many people whine IMO about paying 5 cents over retail when they dont have to do the work, just sit there and have it sent to them.

See,thats the problem.BBTS isn't wasting gas.They have them shipped to them just like walmart and the like.They charge that much cuz they KNOW people will pay it.
I don't mind paying a little extra for someone looking out for me.Charging 24$ over retail? Why? Cuz their BBTS and collectors should be thankful their "helping" them..no thanks.I'll find 1 for retail price or do with out.

true bbts is making the extra money, but i was referring to just regular guys. i hardly ever find anything retail, so 30 bucks to me was a deal, i drive a v8 and its just not worth it to me to go hunting day after day.

I get about 9 miles to the gallon, gotta put the bird away soon and find me a cheap beater for the winter, rear wheel drive cars are terrible for anything other than showing off :)

back on topic:
$30 for a varient? are they out of their minds? :)

10-07-2008, 01:45 PM
where does it say that the chase Wraith is limited to ony first production?
This is a "Chase" not a "variant"
It isn't a mistake like yellow stalker or Black Timber SE
I will wait a few weeks, if I am wrong oh well, I was wrong on SDCC Destro Silver as well, should have bought it when it was selling for $25, ended paying $75 cuz I waited too long.
But again, that is different it was an exclusive.

This may sound bad but what eves. I bought two of them on BBTS for the 29.99 each. I'm just going to sell one on ebay for 60.00 to pay for the both of them. They have been going for 100 on ebay so this will be a deal.

This will be just as common as the black head destro. Everyone was making a big deal about him yet they find him everywhere. I see posts of multiple sightings by one user and I hadn't even been looking hard and have found one. I think distribution on the single figure cases is higher so clear wraith will be fairly easy to find. I'm not thrilled about the figure design. I'd have been more interested if they left the p90 size smaller like the one they showed at the con. The production version is the right size for the halo 5" figures.

I don't believe that is true for he Black Head Destro. I have never seen him in my area. Not once. I still think that he is a hard figure to find.

Hasbro said at the Con that both variants would only be in the first production run. take that for what it's worth. I assume that means you will not find the variants in any revision cases. The Destro pack is in the case for wave 6 CPs so we'll see if anyone gets one in those cases.
spazzy
10-07-2008, 02:06 PM
yeah, I think people are seeing that these aren't as had as they thought, and they aren't hitting the $100 mark anymore.
Especially with people buying them off of BBTS, I wouldn't doubt most would try to turn a profit.
Which with competition, you may not be able to.

I dont know why folks say BH Destro was so common... I ran into a restock batch at Walmart ONCE.
Never seen them ever again at TRU, Target or Walmart.
Any of the many I visit.

BHD is just not that interesting, I had it in my hand and passed on him. I described him to my wife, who likes Joes, and she just laughed. Black head, red eyes, funky new power generation purple rain outfit (all respect to Prince, now, I do not wanna piss him off!) I just came home and posted it on the sightings board so someone had a chance at it. If I see a blue wraith in the wild I will not be so generous, I'd like to have one.

The only varient I have ever seen out in the wild that I am aware of was the shipwreck. I think RI has to many scalpers.
