Got 2 emails from Nippon Yasan about MP-20 pre-order. First one requests payment, second one basically says "oops. The item is now delayed to Sept. Never mind for the first email".

LOL.

LOL.

Heard from a friend that they did that a few months back as well for MP-20

I wonder why they haven't taken the listing down if it's sold out though...maybe a few more will go up (doubtful I know)? Hopefully the hype will die down after the initial batch of ebay and craigslist/kijiji postings go up and sit for a bit. I'd probably be willing to pay about $100 for it since it probably would have been close to that from Hasbro after shipping and exchange.

Yeah, I'd probably do $100 on the set too. I saw you at Target yesterday I think, I was in a rush and had to run out. Did you buy any of the on sale games?

I'm probably in Target every day since my office is attached to the Central City mall lol. I bought a ton of the clearance vid games last Friday...I probably won't get around to playing them for a while but can't pass up decent games for $7-$10 each. Most of them aren't that cheap used.

Just preordered Takara's leader Jetfire from BBTS in the hopes that they get rid of the chrome. It's worth the extra cost, IMO. I'm hoping I can manage to get in on HLJ though, I just wish their site wasn't such a pain to navigate. The release couldn't come at a worse time, but maybe I'll have some Christmas money to spend or something....

I'm leaning towards the Takara as well. If the initial pics are accurate, they went with no chrome, and a few more paint app details on the body.

I think it pretty much matches the very first images we saw, so I hope nothing changes. The flat red & extra details really go a long way to make the figure look good.

Got PS3 Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Dragon's Dogma, Dishonored GOTY, Rayman Legends, Puppeteer, Vita and 3DS Arkham Origins Blackgate for $10 each, and Dead Island Riptide for $7. Selection and some of the prices vary between stores since a lot of them are at Manager discretion (I've found the most selection for temporary clearance prices at Delta Target in my experience). The report hit Red Flag Deals last Friday so most of them are gone, but might be worth checking a couple of Targets.

If you look at this RFD thread, it tells you what games people were reporting were on sale:

Yeah, I got a few at Surrey Target on Friday. Checked Metro Target this morning and everything on sale is gone!
