    Start up a boycott and more will join you I'm sure, but yet here you are on some boards complaining about people complaining.

    It not that he thinks that people have no power to effect change, because they do. It's that we fans don't have the WILLPOWER to effect change.

    It's basically his MO. He brought up suing BBTS when they missed their ETA for the Springer and Blitz.

    Not sure if news, but a friend of mine was able to locate Acid Storm on a store shelf (Vernon Hills, IL) . It looks like Soundwave was put out earlier this week and sold out.

    I was first batch, got a "backordered" confirmation. Which is not really much better than not getting anything at all.

    That must've been a hell of a walk to your kitchen. Did you have to fight a tiger or something?

    Yep. I'll have her take one.

    Cool, I hope you get it.

    When you have the pic start a new thread saying "XX found at retail."

    And if they keep screwing up so badly that we can't get these figures, what, exactly, is the tangible difference between the current situation and cancellation?

    I've been watching the site practically all day and haven't seen it in stock yet. I think tonight I'll just order the Takara reissue and let Hasbro/TRU abloobloobloo about piracy or video games or whatever they blame all of their problems on this time.

    I didn't intend for that post to sound rude. I didn't mean to offend anyone unless they intend on buying it JUST to turn it over for an extreme profit by restricting supply on a hot item. The reason why I say "accused" is because I don't know for sure, the guy could've made it up and it could've actually been him, I don't know. That's why I said "accused," I don't know the entire story. This guy was saying that this other guy literally went in every morning for a while when it first started hitting retail and bought literally whatever amount they had to sell on the internet. I don't condone violence, especially over a toy.
