So let me see, the cases were out on the floor? Or did the random guy walk into the stock room and grab them?? Your story has holes in it.

Not to be a dick, but the guy who takes NO for an answer will never win. You should have taken yourself up there and grabbed them.

by **Bigdaddymcqueen** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:02 pm

no the new people pulled the pallets to the floor, not knowing the do not sell signs!!(stupid i know) and if i'd have gotten a call, i would have been up there, in a heartbeat!! but they were not suppose to ring up!! and they did!! the guy is there almost everynight, looking, its not the first time hes done this! when i worked there i would'nt give him or any other scalper a chance, but its changed since i left! oh well, someone will pay his inflated prices i'm sure, i'll just sit and wait for now!!

Uh..no.

Masterpiece Starscream is a Wal-Mart exclusive. Encore Starscream is the G1 reissue from Takara, which can be purchased on WM.com The stores will be carrying the Masterpiece figure, not the Encore Japanese reissues.

There is a difference, and the uninformed will get incorrect information. This must be stopped.

When in October where they suposed to put them out, just any day or coorsponding with the movie DVD release?

by **WolfDawg** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:21 pm

I'm guessing it'd be corresponding to the DVD...but I could be wrong. I'm just glad to know there's at least a relative date that he'll be released. I wouldn't worry about the scalper though. I have a feeling he'll be easy to find at Wal Mart. Kids are going nuts over the movie toys. Movie Optimus is impossible to find, yet the 20th anniversary primes are overflowing at every Wal Mart I've been to in the past week or two.

by **Kimmer** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 10:18 pm

of course that scalper douche is an ass but is it just me or does wal-mart purposely hire retards? that scalper would never have had the chance to get them if only these employees knew what the hell they were doing and followed the policies.

that's probably because they're 80 dollars and not that good a toy compared to the other MP's.

1.) Unknown. Though we're guessing it will be around October 16th when the DVD hits stores.

2.) It's a UPC, because it's a Wal-Mart exclusive. (Target uses DPCIs)

The UPC is: 6 53569 27551 0

Good luck.

Well you gut check that guy, you don't want to kill someone over it. (Although, as Counterpunch would say...this doesn't sound real.) No offense...

by **AntBot** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 10:53 pm

*sigh* Why can't we all just buy 1-3 of each? It's people like this that make me sick for buying on eBay, and I rarely do so for that reason.

I buy on ebay often because it's the only way I can get some figures.
