If I see it I will grab one, or two if you both want one

Yep, very few things ever change in this region huh?

Gonna check uncle Pete's and Myer/David Jones tomorrow show there's still hope, however fleeting it may be.

Apart from being the most awesome legion class figure ever, he's only packed two per case. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you

Thanks guys, if I don't see one tomorrow I'll definately take you up on the offer.

Got my beast hunters Ripclaw today and found that Hasbro made her with a soft rubber beast head and her tail is held together with rubber. In a few years I guess the rubber will crack and she will fall apart. Hasbro is giving us something just as bad as GPS for the future

I also have her and the dragon head is extremely soft, and at some point in time it will break.

When gold plastic cracks you have a chance of gluing it back together. But when the rubber goes we are stuffed. Voyager Dreadwing also suffers from RPS...Rubber part syndrome?

If only a 3rd party would make new heads and Prime Smokestacks etc to replace all the rubber safety crap.

I was almost tempted to buy Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime today at Myer's 20% sale -- just cos after watching "Rebellion" I was feelin' mighty tempted. I took the toy and kindly asked for a price check. She gave me a rather impatient look and told me that the price is on the toy. I told her that I thought there was a 20% sale on toys atm, she told me yes and that the price is on the toy. I looked at the price sticker - it was $50. I asked her if this was the sales price, she said yes, and when I asked again, she said no, it's 20% off that price. Okay, I already knew that... I wanted a price check, so I politely asked her what the sale price is (again) - and she quite abruptly said, "It's $40."

Why couldn't she have just told me that in the first place?? Customers can see that there's a 20% off sale - the signs are there. I approached her just to confirm what the sale price would be. I initially decided to skip this toy because the reviews have made me less than impressed about it. Then I saw pics of the TakaraTOMY version... and I've been on the fence about it. Since watch the latest ep of TFP BH, I leaned more toward the "I want this toy" side of the fence -- and I was really tempted to buy a local version on sale today, and you all know how much I love getting toys from brick and mortar stores over online shopping (bleehhh)... but after the attitude I copped from this store attendant, I put the toy back of the shelf and walked away. I've since placed an online order for the TakaraTOMY version. :/

I consider myself a somewhat 'die hard' brick and mortar shopper... I really just do not like online shopping... so a store attendant would have to work pret-ty hard to provoke me into turning away from a real shop and going on the web. (-_-)

Copy and paste that to their customer service page on their website. See if they respond in a manner that suggests they care about how customers are treated by their front-line staff.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't go into stores anymore! They can bitch and complain all they want about loosing business but are blinded to the reasons why. Fact is - you get better service overseas
