    Heh, I'm in the uk so it's definitely not me, way too far to go! I got the impression from the auction that the deposit just made sure he tried to get one and would refund you if he didn't manage.
    I think they have a certain amount per day so everyone has a chance.

    Nah. That was the Mushroom kingdom Techno Toon Titans that are on sale at the Con. They had five hundred produced too. The first days allotment of R-08D did sell out though, according to TFH. There is a second day though and we don't know how many they had on hand at the show.

    Also if it was one then I'm.. Sort of okay with it. Sort of. I thought the guy was trying to scalp a number of them, which is what I had a big issue with. It reminded me of that one board member who went to various TRU's in his area, bought all the MP Grimlocks he found which was like twenty, and then was selling them on Ebay for like 2 two three hundred bucks. It really left a bad taste in mine and everyone elses mouth and he lived on the other side of the country from me and I had no interest in the reissue. It just seemed like a shitty thing to do.

    So, when I saw that listing, and saw a presale deposit it just really rubbed me the wrong way and made me flash back to that, and it just /ate/ at me. I've always tried to do my best to help out my friends and fellow fans in my area get the things they're looking for, and to see that level of selfishness just burned me up. Like I'd not have had an issue if the guy had maybe two he sold, for spares. But the number, and the dickishness of that just made me really, really, loathe seeing fans screwed out of something by someone. So I'm sorry if I've been a bit harsh, that just really made me think back to that. If it was just one, or two, I'm fine with it. I just thought he managed to somehow get ahold of like twenty of those things or more an just went to town trying to milk the market, and I don't like that shit. I really hate seeing people taking advantage of others like that.

    Don't worry about it, if he was trying to sell 20 for that much I wouldn't defend him at all either, but for me, just offering to get one for that at least leaves people to make their own mind up :) 

    But yeah, at least over in the uk we don't have much worth scalping ;) 

    Well i do have a MOSC Windcharger if anyone's after one... ;)

    Quite possible if you used your real name for the reply as it wasn't under Cenokibble. :)  I was just going off memory on my first post with the numbers but then I went and dug up the correct numbers on FB, just had to find it as I wasn't sure if it was under the MC, MI, or Ceno pages that the discussion took place.

    If that's the case, the affiliation between TFH and MMC is much deeper than I thought it to be. I have spoken with a TFH staff in the past, and he described the business relationship between TFH and MMC to be relatively minor (when compared to the likes of BBTS and TFsource); for MMC to dedicate an entire run to TFH, is nothing short of mind-boggling...

    TFH is a pretty sizable retailer for MMC products, besides they leased an entire booth at the convention just to show case MMC prototypes among other things. so meh. whatever i guess.

    Jealous? No. Plotting his demise with a group of people knowing after the deed is done only one of us will have his R-08D and thus only one of us can walk away? ..More than likely.
