    You’re right. TFSource provides an essential service and betters all of man(child)kind. I shall issue a formal apology at a later time.

    They're going straight to hell.

    If anyone pays that price for Telsa 1.0.... (holds head in hands)... What is going on with the world?

    How do we stop anyone from paying that price? We must save them from this insanity!

    And to think they consider us friends and family. I daren't think how they treat anyone outside their inner circle!

    edit: We have a word for people like this here in the UK but I'm afraid I can't type it...

    edit 2: No. Seriously. How do we stop this?

    Its also pretty easy to ridicule them for scalper behavior. No harm in calling out these places for this kinda stuff or for thowing out a warning to fellow collectors.

    someone will pay it, and the next time around it will be even more, they will keep pushing until they find the ceiling. as long as there is one moron out there willing to pay what they ask they will keep doing what they are doing.

    True, but they also deserve to be dragged out into a public square and ridiculed for their obscene way of business. This is the sort of shit that makes me no longer buy anything from their website.

    Eh, I don't even find value in that. Just point out to potential consumers that there are cheaper options out there, and let them make their own decisions.

    Some companies that charge too much still have a loyal customer base for other reasons. People can make their own decisions.

    They should rebrand to Sclapers'R'us.

    I wonder what they'll charge for Spindrift 1.0 in a few years?

    edit: TFW2005 should take down all advertising that directs people to their website :D

    Ridiculing a store in public is a form of warning other customers. Do you honestly not understand that? I feel as though your comment was made in bad faith to start an argument.

    Don't @ me.

    During the last week of September a fellow TFW2005 member reached out to me and I bought an immaculate FT Willis from him for £100 all in (postage included). There are some really decent people out there, and if you're watching the thread pal I can't thank you enough. I feel like if I hadn't met you through the boards here I'd have been in the realms of desperate prices down the line. Willis was my missing piece for the FT collection and now I'm all up to date thanks to you. For some perspective, have a look at the US eBay prices people are asking for Willis and it'll just show you that not everyone is in it for profiteering. And when a well known retailer is playing these awful selling tactics it's so so disappointing to see in the community. Such a shadow on our hobby. The more people who know about this scalping way of business the better. It's truly disgusting. But like someone mentioned previously; some moron will pay it and the cycle continues.

    Anyway... let me end this comment on a positive note and say another huge thank you for helping me out and being an absolute stand up guy. I'm so pleased to know that there are some decent private sellers out there not looking to mug someone off. Cheers to you pal. I owe you a couple beers at the very least.

    20" Devastator is my top want. I'd like FT to finish at least one combiner before they start another, but maybe once they figure the combiner recipe out they'd be a good choice.

    I re-watched most all of G1 this year and am halfway through Victory now. Still don't get the love for Predaking. I mean, I was specifically trying to figure out if this guy has a face/head or if the lion on his chest is meant to be his head.

    But peaking ahead to Zone it looks like Predaking finally gets a real face.

    That's his real face? You all are kidding me, right? Two vertical tailfins that kind of resemble eyes and a series of horizontal lines for a mouth? At least he gets a hat in Zone.
