Quelle surprise.

For those who are flaming on Amazon UK... how childish can you be?

Like, seriously? You're going to write bad reviews just because they made a mistake pricing it? Honestly, I don't know what I hate more: whiny, undisciplined cadets in my NJROTC unit, or whiny Transformers fans who flame on crap just because someone made a mistake/something didn't go their way. I was about to lose it reading all the hate posts when the mistake was discovered. It's human nature to make mistakes: don't point out a speck of dirt in someone's eye when there's just as much dirt in yours.

£35 wouldve been an amazing price to get a f***ing masterpiece for, but its not a decent price, its an insane steal of a price. It was an error, so they cancelled everything. you think they should lose £65 off the RRP on every figure just because somebody made a mistake? thats greedy, entitled bulls**t.

A ridiculous number of fans need to grow the f*** up

Im calm now dear, think you ought to do the same unless youve orded one too?

Not sure where you got the extra £65 from, but anyhoo...

I will now take solace in opening a couple of MISB whilst opening a tinny!

Actually, i ordered several. Wanted a few cases for trade and resale in a few years, and like everybody else ive lost out. but im not THAT bothered, I just find it disgusting the childish responses ive seen. We're still gonna get the toy, just not at the bargain price, its ridiculous.

and the £65 was from board members on Full Metal Hero, theyve spoken to amazon and several reports indicate that the RRP is £99 (hence the £65)

I understand the frustration and outrage. This is like the Optimus I've dreamed of since I was seven years old, but as a teacher with a wife and two kids, I can't justify spending over $100 for a collectible toy. Jetwing OP was 50% off, but only for like two days and now the price is back up around $100. "Too-good-to-be-true" price for a very limited time (and thankfully for me it was Christmas time!). Amazon's in their right to do whatever they want, but the right thing would've been to honor their listed price and just go ahead and jack it up for the remainder of its sale.

I'll take that Perceptor you have at the bottom right!

>Fifty bucks? I ordered mine!
>I ordered another!
>I Ordered ten!
>I made several accounts and bought them AAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!


So, the scalper's dreams have been crushed.
Buahahahaha! Called it!

I just hope that the correct price will not be too much above 100$ and the ones that dont have his/her own MP-10 yet will be able to order it.

Jin saotome i dont care how great custom figures you make. This was a jerk move. You mean you never go out and bargain hunt. Good luck on selling your custom figures. If this was your own creator own business .little guy trying to make a business.indie band I can sorta see where you are coming from. But after being wronged by TRU to sell tf masterpiece at a rare quantity and slowly jacking up of what remains. And ebay prices going like crazy.Tf fans deserve some good luck to fall in their favor once in a while. It only appeared here in canada one time and small quantity and never appeared again.

If you cant see the link I posted basically jin proudly boast it was he who corrected amazon of the price.

So jin is basically saying that if goes to a car dealership and finds a car at a great price he would go out of his way to convince the dealer to raise the price. Hope you do this when you buy a house too.

I dont give a flying fawk about your hate on this guy and you should have known that "luck" was no luck at all and it was just an matter of time before an Amazon executive noticed something was wrong.

Also, see my location? Yeah, I'm from Québec. TrU dont want to sell anything that have no French on the box here, even online. No GDO, no exclusives of any kinds, especially no MP at all. I had to get mine by having it middlemanned from the USA by a nice Seibertronian. Even then, I had to pay 30$ more in custom fees and almost 50$ of shipping on top of the original 110$ cost.

If you are not from Québec, it's just too bad you lost your changce to get it for "cheap". I guess you'll have no choices but to rely on Ebay.

EDIT:
Oh, I just noticed that you hate The Jin. So, just go back trolling /toy/'s BST. Ask for MP-10 at "bro prices". It wont do much because you'll just be shouting along the mob.

Well kenrabat i dont care if you dont care what i think. If jin saotome likes to get the credit for changing the price and posting it in amazon.uk i'm giving him credit. Call him a hero if you want.

And yes kenrabat ..its the jin. What of it ..is it because its him. I cant post that its him who is proudly posting on amazon.co.uk patting himself on the back. I dont care if he's judd nelson. Hotrod himself. Unless your directly affected by price because its your business. Its a jerk move to go all corporate. I put less blame on amazon for cancelling the figure and most likely not giving any discounts to those that preodered it beforehand.
