    Default Well that was an utter waste of money

    I was in Target about half hour ago looking for the new Alspark Figures, no go But i didn't want to go home empty handed, so i got a Fast Action Battler Smokescreen and Ramjet. And how very annoyed i am at these things.

    I know I should have done some data collection before I brought these things, but i haven't gotten a new store brought Transformer in over 4 months, so lets leave my stupidness along and trash talk the Fast Battlers shall we?

    Argh! You're better off going to eBay. They are awful figures though the paint jobs look decent enough. Any chance you can return them? Say that it was because the toy was defective. Loose, won't transform properly, missing missile. Try and get ur money back, bro. (Hopefully you kept receipt!)

    Might I ask why not? It's like our only other avenue from otherwise sucky toy stores around here.

    ..ah yes, I know all too well the feeling of buying a crap Transformer just because you don't want to leave empty handed... especially after doing a massive hunt where you spend an entire day zipping between numerous shopping centres across a dozen different post codes. (-_-)

    Well, I started to develop a problem regarding Ebay, Transformers and Money. I asked them to ban my account, so I could no longer spend vast amounts of money on plastic toys that I love to collect. They did, and now I can't use my old account or make a new one.

    That's a crock of crap. If you made a mistake buying a crap toy, what gives you the right to return it missing an accessory or say its defective when it aint? Atleast if the item is boxed, the store can try and resell it, but a carded toy is harder to sell and missing accessories will make it harder unless it is significantly discounted. Atleast have the gall to accept you bought a crap toy rather than trying to return it incomplete or pass it off as defective when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place.
