    Btw, big thanks for this, I got my partial refund to get me down to the lightning deal price. They asked for a screenshot and I gave them yours as proof, e-mailed me back an hour or so later with the refund.

    Regarding Amazon's price policy, it seems that they are fairly flexible, since I purchased more than a week ago. It's probably at the discretion of the CS rep handling the chat / email, but I'd bet that if you are the type who rarely asks for a price correction and buys a fair amount from them - they should just give it to you without issue.

    cool, glad to hear it was of use. I would have missed this if not for the people on here so I'm happy to be able to give a little back!

    Customer service does seem to be Amazons main focus, they understand the e-tail world better than anyone else and know that a bad experience can cause a loss of that customer and the loss of future customers as they will complain to others.

    Goes the other way too, keep your customers happy and they will be your marketing!

    cool just ordered....now to box up the other one and send it back. I was pretty mad when amazon would not refund the difference on the one I ordered 8 days ago, but now all is forgiven!

    Agreed, glad they are so easy on this stuff and I love the online chat feature too haha.

    That sucks, they seem to have refunded others though, but at least their return policy is easy peasy :)  Which I really love about them!

    Now this is funny as hell. I ordered Tryption on thursday for 150 something. I tried to get them to refund the difference yesterday based on the lightning deal, but they said they cannot. So I shot them an email and today they not only refunded the difference but gave me a $50 GC for the inconvenience!!!

    Well, if you're not an Amazon Prime member, there's your answer right there. The lightning deal, I'm told, was exclusive to those folks, whereas this one seems to be available to all.

    I don't blame them for not giving a refund if you wouldn't have been eligible for the offer of the moment.

    (If I'm wrong, then please accept my apologies)

    I'm not sure about the Lightning Deal being for Prime members only but they wouldn't refund me the difference when the deal was active and I'm a Prime member. They didn't even ask me if I was, just said it couldn't be done. So, I just placed an order during the deal and will return my previous order instead. Maybe I should've done what fake did and gotten $50 out of it! That's the thing with Amazon CS, it's all a luck of the draw.

    Agree with you there on any case with online retailers.

    I paid ~$174 after taxes for my original order vs ~$127. The return would be worth it.

    I nearly wet my trousers when I saw that price. I looked around at some other sites and could not find a better deal than that. I'm so glad I was able to snag Trippy for such a good price! Now my G1 Metroplex has someone to brawl with.

    Just opened my Trypticon. Man, I was missing so much during my childhood. Now that I am an adult, I have greater expectations from my figures, but this guy is still very imposing. All the Iron Factory/DX 9 figures are now a lot of fun to pose with this guy.

    I have to add my voice to the "my trypticon arrived damaged" crowd. I am an Amazon prime member but UPS was very slow to deliver and I finally got my package tonight. Here is a picture taken immediately after I opened the shipping box. After seeing this I did not take the toy box out of the shipping box. I will be returning it for a replacement. Sucks but oh well.
