Also, regular retail stuff so less concerning to preorder.

Hoping SS69 hits a Canadian site soon though. I want to know what our MSRP is. 270 USD. I'm expecting 400. Hope it's not more, hope it's a bit less. Hope I can get it on a 20% off sale at TRU lol.

TFToys.ca has the Devastator set up for preorder as well for $419.99.

30+30+40+40+40+40+70+70=360

oof... hope that's just cos it's a small store and TRU/Amazon have it for less. The box doesn't justify an extra forty. Meh. It's a goddamn shame finding Scrap Metal or, more importantly, Long Haul was and is damn near impossible.

It's still cheaper to get them at TRU, with a 20% off sale, but it involves hunting, price adjustments, has and transit costs, etc. So *shrugs*

They absolutely should have reissued Scrap Metal and Long Haul.

You could get two Scrappers, the arm ports are universal. But you can't get two Rampages/Rampage & Skipjack to function as legs. They are side-specific. I literally had 6 of 8 limbs in the back of my car last week, and found a guy on TFW who was selling Long Haul and Scrap Metal. But he didn't want to ship to Canada, and god knows when I can get them from my friend in Washington state... or pay shipping twice (to her, then to me in BC)... ugh.

Anyway, wonder if the Clone 2pack is ever going to properly come back in stock on amazon. just third-party sellers forever...

Totally, it isn’t even about how much they charge anymore, it is about Amazon not being trustworthy and responsible. They cancel like they don’t care about their customers, no apology or anything. I am extremely dissatisfied with their service, they are just like Walmart. These companies try to kill all the small businesses and at the end.. the consumers get nothing but crap service out of it.

One of our sponsors Ages three and up has them on preorder right now. They're pretty reliable. Canadian company with a brick and mortar store.

And their Devy set is only 370! That's more like it!

Shit, I'm tempted. Do you have to pay upfront for preorders with them? I can even pickup in store...

I agree for the most part...usually try to get things at a Cdn store, even if its a bit more...too bad they have so many exclusives as great characters...it makes collecting here in Canada so much more difficult.

You can choose to pay later for pre-orders

Do they ding me if I cancel? If I can get it on sale at TRU, I'd rather... but also, TRU has been such a pita lately for getting the bigger items on sale.
