Not gonna pretend to know the ins and outs of Hasbro's agreement with TRU on this--I'm just going off of similar exclusive production contracts I've been privy to where allowances have been made in the production run for defects--but like I said, the very fact that it's an exclusive and that Hasbro apparently hasn't produced extras for defects speaks to a limited production run. That's not getting into other facets, such as whether or not TRU sees enough sales in the line to justify multiple runs or whether Hasbro even has the available capacity for further runs or whether further runs will prove to be too costly due to the opportunity cost of producing G.I. Joe over, say, Star Wars. No matter how you look at it, it's obviously a limited run.

I don't think insulting rfarell22 is really called for, I have dealt with him before and he has given me great deals on figures. He was merely trying to point out that the eBay feedback system is designed to rate the transaction, such as if the item was as described, shipped promptly, packed well, etc. You may have the "freedom" to leave whatever feedback you want, but if you think an item is overpriced, why would you buy it just so you could leave negative feedback for a seller? That is like walking into McDonald's and buying a cheeseburger so you can stand on the sidewalk in front of the store complaining that the cheeseburgers are over priced. It seems malicious and sort of makes no sense if you feel its over priced to begin with.
And yes, exactly what you said. Now, I will get back on topic. I don't know if it has already been said, but Hastings had the new two-packs in-store today for the super low price of........$24.99!! |

Hastings? Well, so much for this being a TRU-only exclusive/EE limited exclusive. I'm done with speculating over the supply-side of things now. I don't know WTF is going on. I mean, if there's enough to supply Hastings, there sure as shit ought to be enough to adequately supply TRUs, right?

Anyway, I thought EE sold out, but you could be right. Still, seems counterintuitive they'd reserve a quantity of limited exclusives to sell wholesale when they could sell them retail and increase profits. I wouldn't be surprised now if fresh cases of this stuff, including the Marine Devastation and Rock Rampage packs, will eventually hit Ross, &etc. People willing to buy them full price at TRU won't be able to find them there, but will find them marked down at a discounter...if they get there before the scalpers. If that happens, I really won't know WTF is going on with any of this. Last edited by SmokeBellew; 10-06-2015 at 08:37 AM.. |

Now...anyone have a 50th Firefly they want to unload at cost? I'd also be willing to pay a few bucks for the TV camera (assuming anyone out there bought the M.A.S.S. Device set for some reason OTHER than the camera).

Congrats! Make sure you have the proper upper arms for Zartan when it arrives, though. I hear those have been showing up with a backwards arm sometimes.
