And only ships to US. To me, he seems dodgey, but I've been known to be wrong before...

So it's probably Shane McCarthy. ;)

well, judging by the rate that drift is being snapped up at all the local stores, i wouldnt be surprised if he reaches that price on the black market (AKA ebay) pretty soon.

and what was it that griffin said?
something about how all it takes is one seller to jack up the price for all other sellers to push up their prices and then it becomes the norm?

fingers crossed that they bring out more generations as i seem to have missed that boat. :(

Strangly, that person only has the one toy listed. A real scalper is one who buys up a heap and lists them high to monopolise the market.

I think it is someone who knows there is interest and 2 month gap to America, and if one of them is desperate enough to buy it, I think it's good to finally have the tables turned for once.
(just as long as it doesn't start a trend and stores here are cleared out before us locals get to them)

He/She could be testing the waters before they put up more listings:confused:

Looks like the comic book series "Last of the Wreckers" has inflated prices for Overlord:

No, I don't think I would be paying $800 for an incomplete Overlord

They ended up going for AU $25.49 and AU $31.00 respectively. Looks like he's not going to make any money off this :p Take that scalper scum :D

Haha! I totally wanted this guy after reading that! $800 is crazy talk though.

Did you see the fort max there?: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/G1-Fortress-M...#ht_500wt_1154

He got totally pwnd by Overlord. $250 is a slightly more acceptable price.
