I have been looking for Target Jazz for weeks and haven't found him ANYWHERE!!!!

Then I see this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Movie-G-1-JAZZ-Target-Exclusive-RARE_W0QQitemZ280142071977QQihZ018QQcategoryZ753QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Am I mistaken or is the toy that rare that it fetches over $100 now?! The movie's been barely out over a month and why would Target produce so few?! This is all BS!!!!! You've gotta be kidding me!!!

Surely I could see Bumblebee in Japan with the metal finish being so expensive because of how specific of a country it was released and quantity, but G1 style Jazz Target exclusive? Shouldn't these be in higher quantities???

Don't say God's name in vain. Take it easy there.

Wait til they have it at your local target ,and pay 10 bucks instead. It's good economics. Say no to scalper's outrageous prices.

Dude, relax. It's a Target exclusive so they'll probably have an entire end-cap's worth eventually. Give it some time and those idiots who've paid $100+ for it will be kicking themselves.

Take it easy there chief.

As far as rare goes, yes it is that rare because it has been in pre-release. All popular TFs go for stupid amounts of money right before they are released.

The solution? Wait a month.

My understanding is that they are JUST now being released on the shelves. Most of the stores around where i live have so few of any TF toy that jazz isn't that special of a case.

Once the supply actually catches up you will see more of them.

What you are seeing now is that they have not hit all the shelves yet. Once they do the price will fall. Right now you would be paying mainly just to MUST HAVE NOW! rather than overall rarity, Jus tlike the Delux BB's selling for a ton a few weeks ago, and heck even now. In a month or so it will be more reasonable.

Well I'm not infuriated too bad, but it's irritating these damn scalpers make so much off these. I wish it was illegal to sell stuff like this online beyond MSRP if it's still sold in stores. This stuff is ridiculous. And the people that buy from these clowns only fuels their hunger for greed even more.

Customs is one thing, but this is nuts.

If people didn't buy from them they wouldn't exist.

If an idiot insists on handing me all his money why is it wrong for me to take it?

Exactly.. This happens all the time in the world of collecting (not just Transformers either).
Something is freshly released and has not saturated into the market yet, someone snaggs a couple and puts them as uber rare..

Be patient young padawan.

Better buy it now.
Probably the only one anyone will ever see.

Don't miss your chance.

Just because the guy had a "Buy It Now" of $99.99 doesn't mean thats what he's going to get for it.
I picked up this Jazz yesterday at Target for retail ($9.99) so just be patient, you'll find it soon. These are just starting to hit. You can always call with the dpci too: 087-06-0682

I am seriously beginning to hate the movie because of these stupid threads...

I almost agree with you but stupid threads would exist even if the movie didn't. But the movie certainly is making it worse.

i called today with the dpci and was told they didn't have it along with all the other stores in the area so it's obviously not out everywhere yet. i live in pennsylavania so who know when we'll see it here. the frustrating thing is that i live in an area where we're surrounded by numerous targets,wal-marts,tru's,etc. and i've seen absolutely nothung on the shelves for weeks. i seriously doubt i'll find a jazz since i didn't even see a single magnus/skywarp 2-pack at any target either.

Do a completed listings search for "target jazz" and you'll see one that went for $199.95.

I live in MD, so we usually get it late, for some off-reason.

Couldn't you buy it off the site...nevermind, target doesn't do that..right?

That is not expressing religious views, that is requesting not to say that because it may offend him.

That is not expressing any kind of views, it is expressing against something that offends him.

It's a shame religion complicates everything.






I really, really, REALLY hope G1 redeco Jazz hits the UK. I so want that one. We did get the UM/SW 2 pack, and the CL Soundwave pack, so maybe we will?

With Target on average it takes about a week and a half for these things to move their way west to east. Be patient, you'll get it.

It's a shame some people think religion complicates things. If there was no religion / law, then the world would be even more chaotic.

Though I agree, religion does produce some ill-effects especially when they preach love but practice war; but that isn't how it should be, those are idiots practicing "religion" incorrectly.

Not to nitpick here but while he may not be "forcing his religious views" necessarily it is undeniable that it is because of his religious beliefs that lead him to take "offense" to what was said.
What if I was raised toworship a chocolate chip cookie and took offense every time time someone said something bad about chocolate chip cookies?
Where does the circle of taking offense end? Everyone has the potential to be offended by something right?
It's best to just not touch the subject of religion on the net much less a website devoted to transforming robot aliens and all things related.
Now I am not anti-religion by any means but some folks need to grow thicker skin and realize not everyone believes as they do. If your world is rocked by " J H Christ" (which is not taking God's name in vain by the way) than your convictions probably aren't as deep as you believe.

Don't force your non-religious view on us, by saying its okay to say it.

Either way, do whatever the heck you want, say what you may. That is the beauty of Freedom of Choice.

Do not expect other people to be respectful to you if you keep disrespecting others.
