    It was LMIB, and by that I mean that the sticky tape and been cut but the toy was otherwise unhandled. Seemed to be a change of mind purchase from the original owner. So yeah, granted that it was technically a second hand toy, but still... managed to get it cheaper and faster than waiting for TBI to deliver the brand new Cordon that I paid for last year.

    I got my other Cordon from Mandarake, who of course don't charge me until the toy ships. I'm really not a fan of stores that have the audacity to take my money first and then fail to deliver.

    But where did you get it Gok? You said the cost was about half so that puts it at around $90? That is an insane price.

    Mandarake for instance shows the price at around $130 before shipping. Then add shipping which is somewhere around $20-30 and you are at $150-$160. If you had a discount code with TBI then you could have picked up Cordon for around $155 incl. postage, $144 if you purchased it with another 3 items.

    Got it from Mandarake. It was 7500JPY ($96) before shipping, which is roughly half of TBI's price. I agree that it's insane, but I wasn't complaining! It still worked out to be less than $120 after shipping, so still cheaper.

    But I'd still like to receive the one that I preordered from TBI since I damn well paid for the damn thing. They've been offering me discount codes which I couldn't care less about. It's all far too PC-esque for my liking.
