It makes me nervous..the guys who have 10 or more for pre-order. I thought there was a limit to how many you could buy, and aren't they really cracking down this year? I've heard the last few years things have gotten out of control.

I'm a little leery of the "early" preorders for a few different reasons. I feel like they're always a lot higher priced than what you can pay if you wait. I've gotten all the SDCC figs about 1 week after for usually 30-35 for the reg fig and then 60 for the exclusive. Zarana, Sarge(TTT included), Suited CC, PDD.....a set has never cost more than 100 bucks, and that was me being impatient. I bought Starscream for 125 and carded dialtone for 150 after the guy dropped the prices because no one was biting. I think you guys are panicking a little because the Con set sold out.

The other issue is with presales. eBay policy states that preorders arenot allowed 30 days prior to shipping. Which technically would be today if they shipped out first day of con. Secondly, EBay only protects you for after 15 days after a purchase. So you wait til the con or after to file a claim.....SOL if somebody doesn't have one or decides to pork you. Jinx isn't "enormous", bigger than DT but less than Sarge......and that year had wrestling fans after him too. Triple T was regularly 60-70 for awhile. It's only recently that he's jumped way up. 90 bucks will get you both Jinx's.

You guys see this thread? Sounds promising.

Yeah, I just checked that out. As I posted in that thread, if there truly are "millions" of these figures in warehouses, and DG is the only store that has stepped up to carry them, it would be nice for Habso to try to negotiate with other discount retailers to carry these.

It's a great idea and man of us are in full support of this line. Just make the damn things more accessible.

well in 2 weeks we can get the official word.

[Fast_Draw]

It may be that DG was the only store that was willing to purchase them when they were solicited.

I think the days of millions are over... That was back in the 80's those days are long gone.. I'd love to see tons of them but its hard enough for DG to get the figures it seems everywhere down south the DG aren't restocking guys can't find them on their hunts... I'll see this Sun.

I don't know if any of you guys like hot food, but Zi went to hell nite at East Coast Grill......wow. I couln't tell if I was drunk or clammy from ghost pepper vodka.

Isn't the Ghost Pepper the hottest pepper with the highest Scoville rating? You're a braver man than I.
