February Finds

[5FDP]

Refund/exchange time!

It came off of eBay, so for the effort/time it would take me to glue the leg vs organize a return I'll just glue it.

I think the lesson here is never open them. Ignorance is bliss

Nah, I don't play with mine as much as Goki seems to but sometimes I do take them off the shelves when my other half isn't home

The lesson is to buy your toys from regular stores where they can easily service refunds and exchanges! (although I know that Grappel was an absolute beeotch to find in stores here )

Play more... play lots!

Second time in two days I've seen Aussie collectors complaining about Grapple and co (Strafe, Lugnut, etc), on different boards.

I can still grab multiples of any of them, for $30 each, at a local Toyworld.

They were packed full on the shelf, and the overhead bin/top shelf thingie was ceiling high of them as well.

Arcee can verify that (well, maybe not the ceiling stuff. She is a short-arse :P )

$30 for Grapple now that is cheap . Local retailers only sold that low if they were trying to move stock (sale price) but so far Grapple didnt last on the local shop shelves IIRC....i was just lucky that day coz I found 2, bought 1 and texted a buncha local guys for the other - whoever comes and gets it first is a winaah!!

You might find the people complaining don't have access to Toyworlds (and the equivalents). I have this feeling that NSW doesn't have any.

Toyworlds are the stores I'm staking out to see if they get TF:Prime toys in. No luck so far.

That is a very good idea Paul. When I bought SS Grappel there were heaps on the shelf at Toyworld. There were also heaps of Lugnuts.

due to the lack of stock out there, i finally can put up an acquisition for the first time in 2 months ( thanks Hasbro )!!!

was in k-mart and was disapointed at the same old same old, when i thought i would just have a rummage in the shelves and Behold someone had put the Lunar Crawler Cyberverse set up the back and underneath some (3) BB and (1) Shockwave Cyber sets.

And also got it for $13.75, it was the only one there.

Sydney doesn't have Toyworlds, making it difficult for fans from there to find these "easy to find" toys.
