    Same. It was the only one I wanted to add to my Prime & Megatron variants. Good luck to everyone!

    Enjoy the Ride's up for sale, the first pressings they had leftover are sold out.

    Looking at the meters, the 2nd releases have come to a dead stop. Guess not many wanted them after all.

    Safe to say anyone will be able to obtain these quite easily. Nice when something like that happens. Don't have to scramble.

    Unfortunately there will always be a few collectors who were kidnapped by ninjas for 24-48 hours and will be riding the waaaambulence into this thread once they are sold out.

    Yeah, the dumb ass scalpers getting stuck with their $150 and up 1st pressings. Personally I felt these were not that great, I liked the Soundwave and the splatter one though. But I liked the 1st pressing versions better. But to each his own. Love to have choices. The scalpers really pissed me off last time, it was in my cart, and by the time I entered my CC info, they were gone. Well, and the site had like a limit of 10 instead of 2.

    The first printing only lasted 5-6 hours, IIRC. While that's typically plenty of time, some of us were unable to get to a computer with internet access or were in a place with no cellular reception before the records sold out. Personally, I wasn't kidnapped by ninjas during that 5-6 hours. I was taking my mother-in-law to the hospital and then working the rest of the afternoon.

    Anyway, yes, I'm glad I was able to get a copy this time around. And that they made enough for everyone this time, it seems. Keep in mind that if they had produced the same amount as last time, they'd be sold out by now.

    I hate to put myself in the place of defending him, but he DOES have his handling time adjusted to allow for it being a presale, as well as it is within the time limit allowed for presales. I don't know enough about eBay presales to know if it has to be explicitly stated as a presale, however.
    But the bottom line is, the guy isn't selling anything that's sold out, hard to get, or illegal/against any rules - quite frankly, I don't care enough to be bothered to hunt down someone that isn't breaking any rules, just to harass him to eBay. That's karma's job.

    It's there, I just made a purchase for one. I just went and purchased every version that was available. The best way I found it was going through all the "soundtracks" and I came across it. You'll probably see The Transformers Movie soundtrack too, just keep going. LOL. Hurry tho, not sure how many are left.

    Pretty sure the Optimus and Megatron versions sold out in like 10 minutes. The Bumblebee version may have lasted 5-6 hours.

    Regardless, by producing this second run in even higher numbers, ETR has all but guaranteed no more sellouts and no future pressings of this release. If they had produced the second pressing in half the quantity, they would have sold out and a third pressing would be right around the corner. All while keeping collectors salivating on the secondary market. Resellers and collectors are equally important in this process. As collectors we may not like this but that's how low print, collector sites continue to create wanted items that sell out.
