I'm a middle aged adult male who plays with kids toys... you can't take anything I say too seriously!
That's pretty impressive to get one for $22. I was trying to get a few on eBay, but they always ended up going for $30+, which was too rich for my blood for a backup (I already have 1). If they are really going for that I may have to try to snag a couple extra after all. I agree that that's not too bad a premium. And as phantom pointed out, there's no profit in it at that price for any alleged scalpers.
There's a bunch going for 35 , yeah but if you even got one at 25 and shipping, what did the seller make on this? 3 bucks? I took a look at the actual eBay fees on a 25 dollar sale, and they get 3 bucks and change on a 25 dollar sale. So... 13+1+6+3+2= 25. If someone wants to work that hard to make 5 bucks... I mean really, you go around for 2 weeks to every target walmart, kmart, tru etc... And you get 5 bucks for that? How many vehicons can you find to make that worth your while before the market dies? What I don't think a lot of you guys get when you talk scalpers, is that transformers is such a goofy brand, that we fall under the radar of most toy dealers. This stuff is it's whole species, and most dealers don't have the energy to buy into this stuff. They can't run off the "girl figure" idea, they don't know who the "good" ones are... And the lines change too fast for them to play. If you're not an expert this stuff and the ranger stuff tend to be pretty accessible...
In case anyone is still looking for these, Wal Mart in canton (ford rd.) had 2 each of prime RID wheeljack and cliffjumper as well as one soundwave and a few voyager optimus primes.
Lansing area.... If anyone is still in need of a deluxe Arcee.... there is one at the cedar K-mart. I've been nearly all over town and only found wave 3 Bot Shots at all Meijer stores.... and one single Voyager Bulkhead (which I bought) at the Cedar Target. Okemos was a joke. The only place I didn't check was Lake Lansing Meijer,soooo.... that's where all the new stuff will be.
Good to hear. I hadn't been out in a hunt this year and just felt like going EVERYWHERE. I hope people are still going to use this thread for sightings. Honestly I don't really want to join a group to reap it's benifits.
By tadave79 at 2012-06-14 OK...Now I am 100% DONE posting here...You guys just dont get it. Enjoy yourselves.
See Ya! For the rest of us... I found wave 3 deluxes at the Saline Walmart. All except the dreaded Vehicon. That is unless some A-hole hid it! For all you sensitive types, that was a joke, you see I was the A-hole who hid a vehicon, thus splintering the Michigan Sightings forum into at least two factions. Hey kind of like Autobots & Decep...nah. Anyways, there were two each of Knockout and Hot Shot on the pegs as seen in the provided pic.
Those have been there for a couple days now...unfortunately I looked all around and didn't see a Vehicon hidden.
Any one going to JAFAX this weekend? It is at GVSU in allendale. I plan on being there saturday morning and early afternoon. Maybe a small meet up?
Picked up the only Prime Dead End @ Woodhaven Walmart. Something bout the loud colors does it for me.
He looks great in the package cant wait to get my hands on him when this wave arrives on my doorstep from tfsource..
Damn, I thought I would be first again! Ah well. Picked up Airachnid, left the rest of wave 4 on the shelf at the Midland WM. Theory about WMs who didn't get the Vehicon wave, getting this one, is wrong.
Hey guys, I'm gonna be in South Haven again for the next few days. When's a good time to get new stuff at their Walmart?? Went there and had crap. Thanks in advance!! ~Will
