    Yeah, $180 is a perfectly fine price. That's roughly what it was retail originally.

    Sad if they've become a scammer. Not sure why they even try it since Paypal has a large window for returns and is known to side with buyers often...

    I don’t believe PayPal holds funds like AliExpress. So once they get their money they run leaving the buyer or PayPal to take the loss.

    Was that after tax?

    It is weird. I am a Joe fan and so had some interest in the mold. Prime color didn't appeal as much as the jungle camo (if you're going to be a Joe vehicle, be a Joe vehicle; not much of a disguise if you can't change your colors! But I digress...). Watching reviews I just wasn't sold and had resolved to pass on the figure.

    Checking out the new mold, the backpack/blades and brighter colors make a much more striking figure, and I like the versatile ways the missiles work with the robot mode. Feels like less of an emphasis on a base mode and more on accessories? Anyway I'll be happy to have it.

    I think if you are a first time eBay seller, Paypal might hold your funds.

    Probably part of the reason they run a legit business for a few months (along with building up a customer base and good reviews) before tanking. I got burned last year on one selling the Takara Nemesis Siege Prime that suddenly broke bad.

    Absolutely, at least you got a figure. A bunch of us received trinkets, seafood can, you name it.

    $206.84 USD after taxes, and was $189.99 at the Buy Now price. Now that I'm home I can actually look it up, LOL

    Yeah, with the BST here, showz, baba having his own site , there is very little reason for eBay these days especially since the flash sales have vaporized. I’m glad I got a lot of my stuff during the “golden age” of eBay

    In case anyone was wondering, it looks like those who said "scam" were correct!

    Seems to be a lot of those as of late. Pretty sure you dodged this particular one, at least?

    Have a number of Prime's incoming (BMB OS MPM4 KO, TE01, GT Op Ex, and Optus Pexus) so I held off and watched. Just pulled the trigger at Terry's, which is moving up my list of China exporters.

    Good store, that's where I got my OSKO of Gravity Builder from.

    Mine is missing his right index finger and the chosen prime has been unable to get me a replacement from TFC for... four months now?

    the kings of customer support.

    Sorry to also be that guy, but does anyone know how to get in contact with TFC regarding replacement parts? I grabbed a sealed STC-01A, but it has a sheared off knee ratchet that's driving me crazy. I've emailed the address listed on their Facebook page, but I kind of suspect that might only be intended for their domestic market customers and haven't heard back.
