Not even mentionning the numerous threads about the figure on this board and other boards.

Man, in the grand scheme of things, why does it matter? The guy got Ultimate Bumblebee for 20 bucks and you seem to be the only person that has a problem with it. Let it go because at the end of the day he's not short-changing you so why be uptight about it, there are far more important things in life to get yourself worked up over. On another note, prices for Ultimate Bumblebee range from £70+ over here in the UK ($140) , goddam rip-off this country.

I never bought anything from Hasbro Toy Shop; actually, they won't let me since I'm Canadian. But I still found the info in less than 10 seconds.

That said, I'm done for today. Enjoy your Bumblebee, it's an awesome figure.

All in all, anyone would have done it. I've had the privilage of it once or twice; never with a TF though.

Great find man, I'm envious. I haven't even seen a UBB in person. :sad:

Nether had I before today....I was starting to think it would never be released.

I saw one in WalMart. It was HUGE, and oh so bee-you-tee-full.

They wanted like 90-100 bux for it though. I was drooling over it and my g.friend was like, "don't even think about it."

Lol, luckily though I finally found a Voyager Prime sitting next to it, so I was still a happy camper.

How is sto_vo_kor in anyway at fault he? He requested a price check on an item, was quoted a price he was willing to pay, so he paid it. Isn't that how shopping works?

It seems so simple to some of us huh? :grin:

I agree about him though. He is so big and fine looking.

However, I'm kinda shady on the price. I'm holding out for a sale. For 20 bucks, I woulda bought a bakers dozen. ;-)

The buyer's only responsibility is to not steal.

The store offered a price. The buyer agreed. A transaction took place. Both sides were satisfied with the transaction.

The store, made a poor choice. The buyer chose wisely.

It's not the buyer's responsibility to look out for the store.

There is NO ethical dilema here. Sto did nothing wrong. Target did something dumb.

What's that they say about fools and their money?

Yep, people tend to forget that retailers tend to overcharge, not undercharge as many studies have shown. I know I have walked out of a store and gone "Crap, oh well, its just a couple bucks." Well, multiply that by hundreds to thousands of customers a day. I think they can afford one Ultimate BB being priced incorrectly. Sometimes even when somebody catches a small price mistake at the register, they don't always say something, b/c that means you have to sit there while they call a price check and people behind you are glaring...for what- a couple of cents.

That's what makes him dishonest. What's more, most stores have Internet access, so it would have been super easy to confirm.

OMG are you still not getting it? It's not HIS responsiblity to do Target's job for them! Even in your own statement you show how the store could have overcome it's own incompetency and found the price for their own merchandise! Besides, even if he had told the cashier it was $80 she would have called to verify and the moron in the toy department would still have said it was $19.

So, please stop saying he was being dishonest and use some logic, it's getting old.

That's awesome. Once I went to Target and had a similar experience with some Alternators that I got rung up as being $5.99 each. When I got home I thought, damn, I should have bought all the rest of them to keep as MISBs or to sell. Was too lazy to go back.

I take it you don't even own the toy then. Funny how pretty much all negative comments about UBB are coming from people who don't even own the **** toy.

You're so angry...

Have you considered The Dark Side?

It doesn't pay much, but the benefits package is simply to die for.

So is this the thread everyone came to when the scalper thread got locked? Man, some people are never happy. Complaints if you find a figure, complaints if you don't, complaints if you pay too much, complaints if you pay too little, overwhelming joy if you find an older figure for cheap, scorn if you find a new one cheap.

I miss the happy olden days when collecting figures made people happy.

Wait wait wait.

I'm perfectly happy.

My job is relatively easy (hence me posting).

I'm very attractive and have many, many toys.

I'm an example of modesty.

KOF MIRA is waiting for me in the mail today, so it's going to be Blue Mary combos and Duke smashing all night.

Sto_vo_kor got a deal/steal.

It's almost 5pm.

Lastly, I've held off on my second cup of coffee today, so I can enjoy my last two hours relatively awake.

Who's not happy?

Silliness will get you every where, also I'm very attractive and have lots of toys, and women... wait, I only have one now...but that's all I need anymore..

But Toys are more than any man needs...

Screw this debate, target messed up, it's their fault, and what's more, someone said it earlier... they sold it for what it was worth... :grin:

Truth hurts doesn't it Hasbro!!! DOesn't It!! AHHAHHA hahhahhahahahahahhahahaha :lol:
