    5 people will win the auction for the same price. The price will be the lowest winning bid.

    The dream TRU is a truly wonderful place, no scalpers and every toy you could want, all mint in packet!

    Ah, I seeee, the lowest winning bid sets the price. Thanks Joopsta

    Heh. This new thread is messing me up. I keep checking in the Ebay forum to see if there are any new replies.

    Grats! :D  how much did Magnus set you back? Found mine about a year ago in a tiny toy store in Chinatown here in Manchester for £75, thought I was never gonna find him. And much rejoicing was had :) 

    You and me both mate, lol

    The HTS news has me feeling a TINY bit silly for BIN-ing a Voyager Optimus a couple days ago, but then again, I'll most likely have Op in-hand before HTS has it on-site.

    Can someone tell HTS we need Grimlock on there extra-early as well? :) 

    I suspect people are going to be refreshing pages on HTS every 10 seconds starting at midnight, and the Animated toys are going to sell out with an almost SDCC-level quickness, depending on how much of an initial shipment they get.

    HTS is only getting in Deluxe Op on the 25th. Voyager Op is wave 2, meaning later release.

    Hate to say this, it was brought up in the HTS thread...I have a feeling it will be prorder from HTS, and the toys ship on the street date. (like the currently available Indiana Jones stuff ships in May)

    They do that with a lot of toys, including the movie line last year. I can't see them shipping TFA before the rest of the movie repaints are out at retail. I would make no sense from a buisness standpoint.

    I'd be fine if I'm wrong and they do ship out, but I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet :(

    Iron Man stuff is the same way. Peaugh did say that he called and they said they'd be ready to ship... But that doesn't mean anything.

    I honestly would have no trust in what someone from HTS tells me. After the Nemesis Prime/Rodimus fiascoes, I've learned my lesson. 2 full days of waste and agony over something I could've got on the 'bay or BBTS with no hassle or misery, just a little more cash. I have no problem spending extra cash, rather than sit there hitting refresh all day, wondering when the hell I could order them, which in both cases, was, NEVER!!!

    And their shipping is horrible, and a lot of other folks would agree. No packing, often leading to damaged boxes. I open them anyway, but it is nice to have a minty box, especially when you are doing a gallery. :banghead:

    Yeah, HTS is close enough to me that I know what kind of people must run it (can you say... Spitting distance?). I still love that SDCC Rodimus sold out FROM MY CART.
    We must expand to conquer the entire board!

    Wait, no... Then I'd have to actually look to find things. This is easier.


    I was catching up on Peaugh's video reviews earlier... All I'm gonna say is that I'm tracking down a Voyager Prime more now than ever.

    Well, I've heard from a separate source that these are in fact in stock and will be shipping. I guess we all find out next week. :)
