Don't get me wrong, I see it as a easy way to cash in, but hell people work hard enough for their money as is, why should they have to give up even more.
It sucks!
Yeah, scalpers are sort of like sharks, their necessary but when there’s to many, you get into scalper infested water.
Though it was very tempting back in December when Ultimate BB was going for $100+ on eBay...

Hasbro can't ramp up production of the Animated line when the series is out and they need to capitalize on sales but they can churn out more repaints? OK, there are a few originals here but come on, the Jazz mold wasn't so great that most people will buy 3 or 4 of them. Barricade too.
Give us the damn animated figures already-or new universe figs. Enough with the movie line already!!!
Bitter moment over...

So haul tailplate and get on them shelves.

Granted, 50% of that is my fault for not saying no past a certain point, but it ain't all me. The whole Concept Camaro Bumblebee fiasco and the overall figures shortage was nothing short of insane and I lost a lot of respect for Hasbro over that one.
*sighs* I don't know anymore. I hate to admit it, but I'm thinking of culling my collection in spots and cutting back on purchases.
I could be growing up. Nah. I'm just really P.O.ed.

i think the new Prime's a pass for me. one LC is enough; IMHO it's very n00b-like to me to get another LC just for the paint and the xacto-knife accessory. most of the Premiums i'm getting are deluxes, i'll just have to figure out how to dispose the old ones because i really hate doubles in my collection.
i have the same experience too. i guess saying "no" a little too much got me lagging behind on some of the recent releases, thus making it a headache on my part to track those figures down all over again. but the BB-Scalper fiasco happened here also, and that really sickened me. as i have said earlier, this never happened in RID/AEC here, only in TFTM.
that, plus the repaints, really makes my interest in TFTM sink to record lows. that's why after getting the Premiums i want, i'll stick to getting the BW/AEC/Alternator/Masterpiece TFs i still need for my collection and never buy another TFTM toy again, unless there's a really irresistible bargain popping up here.

I sell the occasional figure and when I do I don't mark them up. Hell there's some members here that can tell you, when I can, I give maybe for cost, but usualy for nothing at all.
As far as Transformers are concered, I'd rather be a member of a fandome, as apose to part of an infestation.
But hell if you think it's nessicary, keep spreading the desiese.

Liege is correct, and he even gave me a great deal!!! So Scaplers Suck!! That's my point of view, friends hook friends up, and if you need cash, look up the value online in a price guide, but scalping an new toy that came out and charging extreme amounts is just wrong!! Movie Concept BB was the perfect example of Greedy Scalping on eBay AND NOW THOSE SAME LAME Punks can't even give em away...

There hasn't been a dry spell like this in a while. Dear Hasbro- dump the movie garbage, and please release Animated and Classic/Universe. The movie characters based on pre-existing characters still look terrible, even a year since we first saw them, and the new characters have so little too them- you might as well think they were in the movie.
I'd buy a purple and grey repaint of Classics Astrotrain though, please.
