Hart flyer $33 leader Ultra Magnus -Sham?

So the Hart flyer has Ultra Magnus for $33

His name, class, line, picture, and even size in cm.

But when I went there, it was only CW Armada Megatrons, tagged as "Ultra Magnus $33".
Same sku.

Sham much?

Re: Hart flyer $33 leader Ultra Magnus -Sham?

Sounds like what Canadian Tire did over Xmas with "Generations Brainstorms" that were actually all Gen Roadbuster and Sharky.

I'd chalk this up to toy incompetence vs intentional scam: one SKU for CW Leaders and they grabbed the first pic/product info they found.

It *may* be possible some stores actually did get some UMs too, but again maybe not.

Yeah it's just pulled from the SKU. To the store a leader is a leader.

UM was $35 or something a couple months back, it's not that astounding a price.

Woohoo! Just got in the game and got CW Armada Megatron from Hart... Thanks for the tip. I was looking for the g1 version, but in retrospect, I like this version very much.

Yes, I know, I am really late in the game.

Yah, I suspect the same.
Still, I got a rain check just in case, and made sure they wrote "Ultra Magnus" on it!

Re: Hart flyer $33 leader Ultra Magnus -Sham?

Considering UM was scarce to nonexistent at retail in my area, even paying full retail price felt fine to me to be able to get my hands on him online. So I'm going to disagree 100% with what the other poster said, $33 is in fact a great price for this figure, assuming you can actually get it.

No, I mean $33 isn't so out of the question it implies a scam. It's a great price, it's just not so astounding I think there's shenanigans.

You're very welcome. Glad someone got to take advantage of their sham!

No, no, price isn't the scam.
Incorrect product is the sham.

Given the scarcity, and time passed, I doubt any other stores have him.
