Letter of Complaint to TRU Online

[drahsrebu]

I for one am grateful that TRU Australia made Soundwave available online.
I accepted that I wasn't able to obtain one without paying inflated prices, until I stumbled across him while doing research for work.

Needless to say 2 days later he was in my hands.
Extremely happy

At least it looks like we prevented a flood of Soundwaves on Ebay AUS, as only one seems to be listed since it was released here. I would have hated to see fifty of them show up on ebay this week at over-inflated prices.

Dang, thats right near me! But its not me! Frankly happy i avoided all this bullshit by getting the japanese release... We put up with so much shit here, it's just not worth the time spent worrying over it. There's no reason we shouldn't have reliable ability to preorder anything like you can in japan, it's just plain ass-backwards here.

I don't think there was enough even to go around in honest.

Which got me thinking.... Are there scalpers out there who are also members of this forum? Like a double agent. It's a horrible thought.

Id love to "offer" that guy a punch in the face

Possibly but I bloody well hope not!
It's just as likely that they're people who aren't members and use the good will of the people that do post sightings & other related info here, simply to further satiate their greedy nature.

The important thing is though that people don't give in to these Expletive Deleted by paying their outrageous prices!

Seek out other avenues and don't hesitate to ask for help from members here who are often more than willing to point out a proper bargain.

Surely a more measured response would be to aim Megatron's fusion canon at the guy and fire away.

Well that is not only thing he/ she selling at a higher price especially local release
