    Default Hey, kids! Sharkticons!

    Pop over to eBay to get into some army-building of little Gnaw figures still in their packaging:

    Would these have come from your local Canberra Big W perchance?
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Yeah it just seems like scalping of $5 toys to me.

    ^ Rather than taking a pot shot, it would be more constructive to junior members of this board to:
    + confirm the items are in fact from the recent BigW sale AND not replacing previous purchases of army building
    + remind them that scalping is not condoned

    Hi MissDaria,

    With the BigW sale, it would be a bad look if these items were recently bought from there & flipped to profit from other members on this forum.

    It is also possible that they had an army of Sharkticons before the sale and now have to sell them off at a loss... but would have been good to say that in the post to prevent suspicions of it being toy scalping from the $5 BigW sale.

    Best to leave it be than to encourage sellers who are flipping items (not saying that MissDaria is doing that) to lie.
    All you'll get is every single scalper coming up with a story here.
    We all know where to get them cheap and are aware of sales and retail pricing, so if it doesn't sit well with us... just ignore the post

    ^ pretty much this.

    As Fred Durtz once sang (kinda), keep scrollin, scrollin, scrollin...

    Rather than pass judgment or a pot-shot, I just asked if they were BigW stock. They may well be army builder (I know I bought three or four when they were originally released)

    ^ My comment wasn't directed at you. Go back to admiring those Star Wars female leads.
