WJ - Have you ever bought anything from that Ebay seller? The prices are very attractive, but buying from a seller in China sounds scary. And the negative reviews, some for MP Grimlock (what I'm also interested in), don't help.

I'd be a hypocrite to say just forgive him when he didn't have any respect for you at all.
That being said, if some other pharmacologic substance scrambled his logic etc, it be best to cut off ties and keep him as faraway as possible. Change your home locks etc. The PC route of saying this is a disease (addiction) or you gonna replace your brother with something made of petroleum products? Those are living in lala land.
Don't bail him out.It will show signs of weakness. Many an individual tried helping their neighbor only to pay the ultimate price. They no longer are thinking straight. Forewarned is forearmed.
It wasn't a drug addiction he had, we believe it was a gambling problem. We suspect that every time he went over to the next town to sell more of my figures he would then go straight to the Hard Rock that lies just off the interstate between the two cities and spend the money there that he got for my figures.
He had little respect for me, my hobby, my property, etc. Forgiveness is not going to be easy.

Your most generous donation arrived in the mail this morning. Many thanks for your kindness and assistance in my current endeavor to reacquire what I've lost.Ironhidensh wrote:Sabrblade, PM me your home address. I'm sending you a generations Rattrap. No charge, not even shipping. Might take a couple of weeks to get there, might not, not sure yet on time as I'm currently on vacation, and will be for the next week and a half.
What happened to you was pure ****, and just plain sucks. You deserve some kindness. Rattrap isn't much, but I hope he makes you feel better.

They have a few Timelines figures listed as In Stock, including the 2006 and the 2012 boxed sets (though the 2006 set is astronomically expensive--I paid $800 for mine).

If overpriciness is their only issue then that's good for me, since at this point, I've little to no alternatives in finding another BotCon 2006 boxed set available for sale to replace the one I've lost.Tyrannacon wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Re-posting this question since I never got an answer:Sabrblade wrote:Anyone here ever buy from ToyWiz before?

I haven't myself, but I know people that have ordered from them. All have pretty much agreed that ToyWiz is pretty over-priced. They didn't say they had issues though with making and getting their orders, just they felt the price gouging made it unfavorable.

The only other site I've seen one for sale on is this obscure Japanese website that I know nothing about.

That's... debatable. If it is a factory in China using the real molds to make extras on the side and sell them cheap without Hasbro's or Takara's consent (and, consequently, not paying HasTak for the use of the molds they own) it sure as hell isn't an official product. A factory produced knock-off is still a knock-off in my book.

But at least its debatable and not a sure fire KO And anyways, while I am assuming thats the case with the MP casettes (since they are selling a mountain of those things) I cant assume thats the case for all the toys (like TAV Dreadwing for instance).

This is definitely a gray area. Personally, I'm only interested, and buying, official products. But I did take a chance on this MP not-exactly-official Grimlock. To me, it's official enough lol.
