Re: Earthrise Thundercracker/Skywarp two-pack released in Canada

Wish I had access to a tru so I could get rainchecks.

Im stuck relying entirely on the website.

Hopefully they'll be up there any day now.

They're welching. Rain checks are good at any store.

Just managers and people who don't know their own policies or are being dinguses.

Manager runs the SKU proper in their system, says their location is not scheduled to get any, and states their store is a "Do Not Ship", suggesting they are unable to get one (I guess?)
Anyways she iterates (what we all know) that rainchecks only good at the location you get them at, "and we aren't getting any, so..."

So at 7:30pm, I've missed the sale *sigh*

Should I have pressed for one anyway? I'm more likely to believe a manager than a counter-serf, but I'd also believe they just welching out of issuing a raincheck
I don't know what to say about that but I've never had trouble using a rain check at other stores

Maybe I just need to live in a larger metropolis, where managers are more used to dealing with collectors
(or gone up to Ottawa maybe)

Probably also maybe, might have been a healthy dose of "it's less than 30 mins until we close, get out of my store"

Oh well, maybe will be up on the site next week, natch

That's right. I was just told from one of mine that they're not in the inventory. I'm certain that's the case for you, too.

Correct, the SKU comes up as a baby toy. Their system is messed up.

Re: Earthrise Thundercracker/Skywarp two-pack released in Canada

Unsolicited opinion on these cats:


Having seen these in person - I had to pass: didn't like 'em... I think I'm cool with the 6 iterations of each I already have :|

(...and this is coming from a "Skywarp mark" as they might say over on the pro-wrestling boards)

Fixed that for ya. ;P

I really want this Thundercracker but I really don’t want to have to spend $80 (+tax) “for just him”. (I don’t want Skywarp at all.)

Maybe if another sale hits and I can actually find the set I’ll give in to temptation.
