That's how I got my Skywarp. I couldn't find him separate, so I watched a few auctions and got the two pack for a good price.
Please note. Even if it looks like the seller has good feedback, GO TO THEIR FEEDBACK PAGE AND FIND OUT!!!
I hate to caps that, but I'm dealing with a bad seller on eBay with what looks at first glance, good feedback. That's until you look at her feedback page. 150+ retracted feedback.
The buyer promises an item that will ship later that month. (I didn't see that. Don't buy Transformers at four in the morning!) She then says that she isn't getting her shipments in and that you will have to wait. And wait. And wait. (I've been trying to work with her for TWO MONTHS).
If you leave negative feedback for her, she will neg you right back, even if you paid on time. Then she will tell you that she will remove her neg if you retract hers. Which is why she has 150+ feedback retractions.
Not trying to scare anyone, just trying to explain why you have to be so careful. I've been on eBay since 2001 and have never had this happen to me.
