    Its weird Skywrap hasn't gone back instock, but both of the other transformers exclusives sets went on sale and still are instock? Hell the Marvel legends Magneto 3 back went on sale twice last month and both time it sold out and its back in stock again, same with the Alpha Flight set went on sale sold out and within a day its was back instock. For some reason I didn't check on the 29th and I'm guessing that's when it sold it out, the price drop to 41 bucks and everyone was like yep it time to buy it.

    I honestly doubt it will come back in stock. Their exclusives are available for a long time, then once the initial stock dries up that's it.

    youre right, especially with the alpha flight being put back in stock really fast. I don’t know why they haven’t restocked it as it seems more popular.

    Trouble from a long time ago. The ex kind of ruined it for me and now Ebay won't let me re-register.

    There are ways around that. If you've changed ISPs since then, just register using a different email. Your IP changes when you change carriers.

    PayPal is an issue, too. Can change ISP's, but not names.
    My girlfriend has an account, so maybe I can talk her into getting me one.

    I really do hope the Skywarp set does come back in stock. I don't want to pay more $56 to complete Spinister.

    Yes, mine came the same way. Was surprised to see Omegas box inside the Hasbro shipping box inside the Amazon box.

    Not likely. It's been available for about six months. Eventually, stock does run out. The problem is, once it does, there is the flood of people who suddenly flock to eBay or other means to "gotta have it now" and that is why the price skyrockets.

    However, patience does prevail. At one point Blast Off and Punch/Counterpunch were in the $75-$90 range, but after a while, the eBay market gets flooded, and there are sold listings for as low as $35.

    Usually what happens to me is that it says it'll take a month to ship but usually takes 3 days to a week. Not always, but it's common for me for that to happen.

    Re. Skywarp. I fucking need it! He completes the Siege Seekers for me and is one of the few Siege figures I don't own.

    Exclusives are absolute BS, but even more so when you're stuck in the UK!

    Meanwhile Amazon UK had him listed for a month or so, continually varying the price (I ordered two so I don't have to keep transforming/swapping out display pieces)... I HATE this crap with exclusives!

    Same with the Firestorm set. Wound up buying that in the US sale for slightly more total and cancelling the UK order.
