    PayPal can only make them refund you if they don’t deliver the product.

    Mine says that GS will charge PP once they process the order so I'm not out any money right now.

    Yeah...companies can cancel your order for pretty much any reason they want, as long as they refund any money paid.

    Does anyone know if GameStop carried MPs in the past or is this their first time?

    I wanna say I saw one of the beast wars guys on there but what they carry seems to fluctuate. Most of what I’ve picked up from them from sales like these were DBZ SH Figuarts stuff. I thought in that line they carried all the non web exclusive figures, but they’ve skipped (piccolo for example is one I’ve been keeping an eye out for) some of those this year so IDK.

    But I’ve gotten some pretty good discounts on preorder figures in that line and haven’t had them cancel on me yet, so we’ll see.

    Do have one figure that I haven’t had ship yet though, and I’m pretty sure it’s been released at every other retailer.

    Oh yeah, that discount is an obvious error, and for fun I did look up their Conditions of Use:

    It couldn't be clearer about what's gonna happen as soon as they catch those errors. They can screenshot all they want, and talk to Paypal till the cows come home, but they consented to all of this when they clicked purchase. They got a better shot at sprouting rainbows from their b-holes than getting GS to take a loss on those figures. Hopefully everyone chasing this unicorn also has a pre-order somewhere that listed a legitimate price as well.

    I think you guys might be crazy to assume GameStop will still be in business by January. They’re circling the drain other than a console launch maybe giving them a temporary Shot in the arm.

    Totally plausible.

    Cancellations are a high probability as well.

    But there is no risk, you either get TC and save $50 or just buy your backup preorder. GameStop doesn’t collect any money until the order ships. So it’s worth a shot.

    Yup. You got it on the mark! Fine print sez so.

    This too. They're really running on fumes as of now. :( 

    Isn't that like, kicking a downed man while they are down? Cancelling that is.:cry

    Just did GameStop. I don’t have any faith in them, but if Thundercracker flies in under $200, the I’m sitting pretty.

    You haven't paid attention to their stock the past week or the news for that matter. They aren't going anywhere and the guy from the Big Short who noticed the housing market was going to collapse invested in over 11 million shares in August. Stock doubled last week and new direction from the top.

    Hmmm..... In UK (Kapow and tfsexpress/omegalock) Thundercracker is a little cheaper than Starscream. That doesn't seem quite right.

    You can just see by them selling Thundercracker how bad their business is doing, them shifting to selling collectibles like a comic shop instead of used games

    They've been selling collectibles for at least 20 years.

    yeah but they have shifted their focus to more collectibles based recently since they're getting out of the used games business

    Sorry I forgot people prefer lazy common sense responses
