Not suprised about these cancellations.
Yeah good luck on getting them on bait advertising. It just won't happen. ACCC will not get off their back side and investigate and even in the unlikely event they did, it would come down to the word 'reasonable'. Any half decent lawyer will cover their back side on this.
Just to be clear, I am not saying that it is not bait advertising. I am saying that they can probably establish at law that it is not.
Yep, got cancelled as well! :mad:
Feckin' TRU!
I don't think it would classify as bait advertising.
It wasn't really 'advertised', just on clearance. Or am I missing something?
That was my thought too just after I posted it. Clearance of an item could mean the difference as it was about liquidating stock, not maintaining it.Quote:

between here and FB, I'd have to count at least 20 or 30 people missing out so far.
They can't even sort out case assortments, leaving you to buy 'random' figures...all the way up to leader class. What makes you think they can track stock in real time? :PQuote:

Some scalper ones have already shown up on eBay. One guy in Perth advertising one for $190 - nearly 3 times what he would have paid :eek::mad:Quote:
