MP12 preorder via ebay

Its seems to be second run of sideswipe. Very good deal if you are not in hurry but I am not a fan of pay first pre-order.

I've seen pre-order type listings on eBay for all sorts of Transformers in the past and like you have been very wary of the 45 day limit on paypal claims. personally I'd wait till it's within that window or go through another source. Even if it's not a scam, is it worth the risk for 10 to 20$

There's pre orders on Ebay for Wheeljack as well!

A+ Anime arent too bad to communicate with. I haven't purchased anything from them though.

As stated, problem with pre-order is when you paid Paypal and is way off ahead of the Paypal claim. Its not worth the risk or hassle as you really cannot predict what will happen.

Further to that, if its a scam, thats the end for you. Trust me Paypal would care less as the transaction is considered expired. If its not a scam and there are issues, and the owner refunds the money you can be worse off if Aussie dollar is not as good. I had refunds before and I found myself $5 worse for the same amount refunded.

That works out to be about 162 shipped for both. I prordered my g2 sideswipe for 78aud ems with tracking. What are the chances of other online stores offering sideswipe reissue for $80 shipped? If its likely then might as well wait.

Thanks for all the replies guys, you reaffirmed my thoughts, not worth the risk for the small savings involved.

They are pushing my risk-o-meter button with this one though:

That is a huge saving compared to the current market rate. Although I am surprised its a pre-order considering that hasn't this been out for a few months now?

That's up for bid not buy out.
