Hold up - they kept some back?
Geez. That's pretty unscrupulous.

Re: Fansproject TFX-04B Shadow Scyther Trailer Set being shipped
Wow, this is like the genius monopoly strategy.
I'm surprised that Fans Project doesn't object to TFsource's tactics, but then they just might not care at all...
This is not the first time they've done this, infact, they do it all the time, it's just become more much obvious (like caught red-handed) this time around, especially since it's an exclusive from them.

Re: Fansproject TFX-04B Shadow Scyther Trailer Set being shipped
I understand holding a certain percentage of stock back in case there are issues with returns. I don't really get selling this off at the inflated price. Well I get capitalism and all that, but it just seems like a crappy move to pull on an exclusive item.

They more then likely get back a percentage of the sales back from TFsource, so they probably don't care so long as they get the money for it.

They can probably make more money by selling more "similar" units, such as the TFcon fiasco. I really doubt anyone in Japan or some other countries heard of or even got a chance at getting this.

FansProject doesn't get any extra money from TFSource scalping these for $360. All FansProject got was their original wholesale cost, from the original orders.
The closest to another "Shadow Scythe" would be a blue version, if they decided to do one.

$300 on TFsource... well it's cheaper than eBay temporarily...

Re: Fansproject TFX-04B Shadow Scyther Trailer Set being shipped
They're probably hold backs for replacements and cancellations.
People on tfw were nerd raging...it was pretty good. In the end, I'd rather see TFSource get $300 than see tfw scalpers gloating about how they bought up a bunch to resell on ebay.

Curt ended up deleting the entire facebook posting and will probably sell them on a personal ebay acct.
