AmazonUK Cancelling Masterpiece Optimus Prime Orders Due to Pricing Error

Hahahahahahaahah take THAT all you greedy scalping assholes who bought 10 at a time!

Seriously tho, this has got to be the juiciest justice I've seen in a long time cause you know scalpers and the like were just scooping these things up. To all those who legitimately thought you'd get it at a cheaper price, that sucks that you were misled. But come on...coooooome on! You didn't believe that price point for even a second did you?

Nooooo!!!

Considering I just bought DotM Jetwing OP 50% off from Amazon - yes, I did believe it.

I did too

It's a real shame, looked like a brilliant figure and really wanted it for the price but just can't justify a 3 figure price point

I want to know who wrote in the review section on amazon for the listing, telling amazon it's really a £200 figure !!!!! Seriously you guys should check it out

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" *in Darth Vaders voice*

Now I'm glad I imported 1 last summer and got a lucky preorder in through tru because I knew crap like this and tru would happen. I am pretty close to giving up collecting because its getting pretty annoying having to deal with these dumb companies and stupid scalpers. I fully blame scalpers for what's going on with the in store prices for figures. People who don't give a rats ass about transformers are running around preying on fans of the franchise by buying up everything. The supply and demand is all messed up because of scalpers and hasbro knows that so they raise the price on everything. 2012 I freakin bought almost everything and I don't even want to know how much I spent. 2 mp primes, 1mp Thundercracker, 1 mp red alert, G2 Bruticus, foc sdcc Bruticus, sdcc Shockwave and Destro, all the foc figures including Soundblaster and Soundwave, Prime 1st edition, and a bunch of generations and universe figures. That's a lot of damn dough and I'm leaving out my joe purchases. I think I'm going to cut back and only buy masterpieces from now on because this is getting nuts. I remember when you were able to buy 2 of everything without breaking your wallet or worrying about having to call 50 stores to see if a figure was in. This really sucks for people who can't afford mp Prime because he's awesome. To be honest though he's not worth $100 or $179 which is how much I paid for the 2 I have. These should be $60 figures and not a dime more. Good luck to all the true fans on getting Prime for a reasonable price and thanks to all the scalpers for adding 15 mp primes to their cart that probably alerted them that something was wrong with the price. Greedy bastards.

Wow, what a defeatist bunch!

We don't know what the correct price will be, we may not be getting it at £35 but we may still get a good deal. So don't log into eBay just yet.

What Bumblebees are guys clogged with at this moment? since prid bumblebee has come and gone in the US. there are actually very little bumblebees in the US shelves right now.

In the UK we have PRID Bumblebee, Stealth PRID Bumblebee, Weaponizer Bumblebee, Cyberverse Bumblebee, DOTM Bumblebee, Bot Shots Bumblebee. Basically we have more Bumblebee on the shelves than anything else, it's been that way for a while.
Beofre long we'll have a lot of Beast Hunter Bumblebee and his many repaints and slight retools - Bumblbee with spikes, Bumblebee with spikes on spikes, Bumblebee with spikes on spikes on spikes in black.

The chance of MP-10 being released in the UK are very slim.

I had two (to display one as bot and one in alt) pre-ordered with Amazon.co.uk. I'm more annoyed with Amazon that they don't even list the cancelled item in 'your orders' and just send an email, with no evidence that I'd even made the order in the first place.
I would have liked them/amazon to admit they made a mistake, and to ask if I'd like to be put on a first refusal type list. Instead of having to check forums etc every bloody day until they relist it, if they even do.

I blame the moron who posted in the amazon uk that the price is too good to be true and to the ones that chatted with amazon remarking how unbelievable the price is. When I chatted with them I was specific in only asking if its amazon itself selling it not a third party and if its not masterpiece prime since there is no pictures if it was returnable.
