    Dammit. I have them all, and I only got two of the Diaclone ones when they came out. I couldn’t justify getting the others... well now Grimlock and Swoop are in my stash.. too bad they don’t have Snarl.

    No one seems to have Snarl... I haven't even checked eBay.
    EDIT: Just did. Triple digits, across the board, all hailing from Asia. Wow.

    I'm sorry, I should've clarified, Brunt wasn't $12, he was just below $17.

    Ah well. It prevents the sale from going through when you try to check out.

    Yeah, I was playing around with it and added 2 $19.99 items to my cart and it was charging me $10.02 plus shipping, so it appears the code was reversed. It should have been "free shipping over $50" and what it was was "charge the difference between total and $50, then add $8 for shipping"

    We'll see if they cancel the orders. If its like 5 orders they may process them but if its 100 they likely won't. It looked like it was all products (or at least all toys) so I guess it matters if this error was publicized on more than just this board.

    It was on Twitter, so it'll probably all get canned.

    The discount was working for virtually all items on the site. It was some kind of misapplied ThinkGeek rewards coupons - there were a bunch of different dollar amounts, which were each automatically applied up to once per order - so if you ordered a $50 item (like Ectotron), the $50 off coupon was applied, making it $0. If you added a second Ectotron, the $25, $15, and $10 coupons were applied, making it free as well. You'd be charged for any further items you added to the cart (or the balance of any items not evenly covered by an available coupon).

    I made several orders this morning using this, and they all currently show as "In Progress"... except Ectotron, who's MIA from my order list. If this was primarily shared around as a way to get Ectotron free, it's possible that most orders were made for him and he's the only item they noticed the issue with (and so the only thing they'll cancel orders for). I don't know where all this was shared, but it didn't make it to @videogamedeals on Twitter, so it might not have reached a lot of people that would've used it to buy games.

    Hmm. Well just in case: Do we know who Gamestop ships with? I may be trying to redirect a package in the near future.

    There wasn't a code, the coupons were automatically being applied.

    Alas! To have been so close to the 2019 version of the $.01 Devastator. Never even had a....ghost?....of a chance.

    I’ll see myself out. Good day to you all.
