Yeah, that's a pretty gross habit that needs to stop. I mean, everything that's new and somewhat difficult to obtain is getting scalped these days. That's pretty low though that they would do it under a guise.

Yeah and the fact that it was obtained through another distributor and not Hasbro directly means they didn't get it at the typical 50% discount of retail. Toysnowman only made $10-$20 profit per set. So if CMD wanted to keep it's typical margins, they had to sell for more, which they did.

CMD told me they got them straight from Hasbro Canada, not via a distributor.

What does it matter? Most of us all got our coneheads. That's the main goal.

That is a total dick move.


Toysnowman put these up at $80 a piece. I know he got my business in the future. I also know of a few others that took their business to him.

CMD are pieces of shit
They buyout WM stuff when it goes on clearance and immediately put them up on WM marketplace for quadruple the clearance price.

I wish TSM got all the coneheads

Most? I would hazard a guess that there is still quite a large group that didn't get these. I wouldn't be surprised that the number who didn't get them, myself included, exceeds the one that did.

I would say this is true. I was lucky enough to grab a set but most of my friends who wanted them missed the opportunity unfortunately

I certainly didn't get mine. He's wrong.

Toysnowman had it up for months.
No reason to not order??
Thats on you.
I'll admit a little skeptical at the time.
But I ordered and my coneheads arrived.simple process.
