OMG, this just gets funnier every time you post. Thank you for entertaining us. Please go on!
So tell me, do your lips ever get tired from being a BBTS suckup?

After all what we are talking about in both cases is negligence resulting in economic losses.

You're out of pocket because YOU choose to be out of pocket.
NO ONE is forcing you to pay the higher prices, this is YOUR decision. BBTS is NOT responsible for any decision YOU make.
I get that you want them for your kids, but at the same time, if you can't get them at a reasonable price, YOU GET SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
Did BBTS screw up? Yeah, but they've done plenty to make up for their screw up. That $15 they credited you? That's 7.5% interest, you and I both know you wouldn't have gotten that from the bank.

... make a comment like that again and you get a warning.

On the contrary, I wouldn't have had an issue if BBTS had've done their job properly to begin with. If there was a shortfall when their preorders came in and they'd told me about it then and there, then the problem wouldn't have been anywhere near this bad. Tbh, as this is my first shipped out order from BBTS and it's been this much of a train wreck, I wont be using them again and I'll be encouraging everyone I know to do the same.

It sounds like an accident to me, so I'm not sure it counts as embezzlement.
Hence the reason why I referred to it as negligent embezzlement. The problem for me is that there is clearly an awareness on their part that they're dishonestly guaranteeing that if you've paid for something and have it in your pile of loot, that you will get it when you ship it out. Yet there is absolutely nothing in place (even in the measures they claim to be implementing) to ensure that is the case. The fact that they know that people are getting stung 6 and even 12 months down the track and are doing nothing to fix the problem - combined with an attitude of "it's rare, so who cares".
That goes beyond "hey we tried but sadly mistakes happen" to outright willful negligence as they are clearly aware that the current system effectively makes the POL one giant case of misleading advertising (clearly orders need to be physically allocated and isolated from unsold stock in their own warehouse) but apparently couldn't care less about fixing it.

Anyway, I hope you can step back, take a deep breath, and think more clearly about this tomorrow. Besides, we're talking about Hoist and Medix, and they're pretty terrible.

Plus, nothing beats having my instant gratification delivered to my door ASAP then having to wait for my "loot" to pile up. (way too tedious, sorry BBTS)

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Looks like I should take a look around the local stores and take a look see.

The originals should be long gone. The new "Energize" versions with the blue translucent parts are what is currently available in stores.
They're valuable because supply and demand dictates price. Chase, Boulder and Blades were extremely hit or miss during the first year and a half. They'd show up, be gone, and then not show up in stores again for 6 to 12 months. Meanwhile, Bumblebee, Prime and Heatwave seemed to be in readily available supply. All of the product just kept selling out. I thought for sure when Target was flooded with Rescue Bots last Thanksgiving that the prices on them would finally retain a normal retail value, but that was it for supply. None of the other chains got them in stock and Target quickly sold out because of the cheap $7 price (almost half off). They're valuable because collectors want them and there's not enough supply for collectors and parents/kids. Hence, the crazy values on these things.
And if you haven't watched Rescue Bots, you really ought to turn it on your TV/DVR to have on while you're surfing the Internet or something. It's a decent show. Voice acting is really good. The show isn't dumbed down really. It even dealt with time travel even in last year's season finale ... not your typical stuff for a cartoon that should be aimed at preschool kids.
