So just for argument's sake, couldn't you bid on one, then once the 45 day or whatever rolls around, open a dispute? Just saying to give the peeps who can't wait another option maybe? Or maybe I am just thinking about it too hard / too much. I am excited for this year's SDCC exclusives but also, don't want to risk another slaughter episode. I remember staying up with my fellow tankers hitting F5 on my keyboard to the point where I needed a new key because the damn lettering rubbed off from refreshing so many times! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I understand why the OP created this thread, but you likely have a better chance at winning the lottery. These figures are hard to come by and those going to the convention are spending a TON on money just to be there. Then on top of that, they literally have to wait hours in line to get whatever the limit is, which is likely 2 of each or less. I don't blame anyone for reselling these at a significant profit after all that. It is hard to call them scalpers when you just can't walk into a Wal-Mart and pluck them all off the shelf. So yeah, if you want one you are going to have to pony up.
I already did this on a Starscream Skystriker. I did a pre-order off ebay. Yes, it takes me outside of my 45 PayPal protection but that is assuming the seller is a crook. While there are plenty of bad guys out there, most are not. So I expect a refund if he can't deliver. If not, I payed with credit card through PayPal. The protection on a good credit card is well beyond 45 days for fraud. I hope it won't come to any of that and I will just get my stuff. We will see. |

Some dude on ebay presold 11 of them. That is what has me froze up. I'm not woried about the price, some dealer in NC snagged my signed dialtone off ebay for a $240 best offer, so that is how much I am prepared to pay for the screamstriker. However, if I can buy it cheaper in a couple weeks, I will do so. Not really chasing zarana, but if opportunity knocks......I'm waiting to be inside the dispute window, myself.

I suppose I could, but that would more likely get me locked in to not getting the stuff I order because I pissed off the seller. I am going to have faith that the seller is going to do the right thing because that is what most ebay sellers do anyway. It is just the few bad apples that make them all look bad. If he delivers, I win. If he doesn't deliver but I get a refund, I'm still good. If he doesn't deliver and tries to keep my money, I have options. It is a calculated risk I am taking sure. But I just have a gut feeling the price of these things will go well beyond the $140 pre-order price I paid.

As much as I would like the both of them, just like Sgt. Slaughter, there are those tankers and fans alike that want them much more with way more time and money on their hands to fight for the meager scraps of exclusives Hasbro tosses to the ravenous hyenas than I do! ...I might have to battle you guys for the Starscream/CC/Megatron set tho! LOL! That is going to be a serious fight cause we got TF fans throwin' bows to get those too!
