    Are you encouraging scalping? If so, please don't.

    These toys deserve to be owned by fans, not turned into a resale commodity. Still remember the clusterhug that was trying to buy Pit of Judgement.

    FYI, I changed my display plans for TFTM and no longer require my Pit. It's MISB if you are still looking.

    I bought it when IDT first listed, so I paid c.£100 last year.

    I did post my sales at weekend, but it's now on ebay. I've upped the price on ebay, but I'm happy to knock some off for a UK threadizen.

    DM if you're interested

    No you miss understand, a few of us on here will buy multiples to then pass back to the community, recognising not everyone manages to buy at the right time and then faces ebay woes.

    Ebay alone results in price hikes from sellers buying at retail due to fees and costs etc even without scalping.

    Equally some of us buy multiples as we also like to keep some misb and in storage. I used to collect triplicates or more on everything so had one to open, one to display misb and one for storage.

    Pit of Judgement, like many others was open for pre-order at sensible pricing for a while. This is definitely going to be a pricey set once sold out.

    People missed out, prices rose even at retail.

    Eg as per below assistances offered.

    Game in Mansfield had a kingdom optimus at £51 and the earthrise one at £25. Madness. Lots of kingdom deluxe and a 4 studio series. Loads more choice than usual.

    Do we know if the Pulse Ravage is a pre order or available when it's on? Like will they charge tonight like a regular purchase or will it be a pre order?

    Could still happen, Omega, Jetfire and Rainmakers are still only just showing up again after siege, so still a chance.

    I don't much care if they source them from America or Hong Kong so long as they are available again.
    In Demand said they were looking into The Buzzworthy pack - but didn't say who they were looking to source them from.
    Runabout was due a restock in October - it seems to have vanished though.

    No Promises but there was a fairly solid rumour/s that one or two established UK retailers were going to be getting the 4-pack in.

    The one I heard a fairly strong rumour from has said that they're stepping back on Transformers, as they're no longer part of their future focus.

    Their planned future is in movie toys , heritage lines (Lego and Barbie were mentioned) and pocket money toys apparently. Personally IMO a lot of the £7 or less stuff should be scrapped or banned.
