    SOLD - SORRY TFW! I WILL DO AGAIN NEXT TIME!!!

    [​IMG]

    Hello,

    I already have my own MP-10, and have another I am getting in the morning. I have deep connections with Toys-R-Us through mutual friends and get copies of the manifest of their truck shipment. I am able to have them pull and set aside whatever I like before the public has access to it.

    I know many of you are having a HARD time finding this guy, and in some markets they are already selling over the original MSRP...

    I am not here to make a dime of anyone, rather to help!!!

    So, when I pick up this MP-10 in the morning, I will sell it to whomever I have made arrangements with first. All I ask if that you pay $100 for the toy and the shipping charge. I will even take care of the tax.

    Because this is a SPECIAL deal, I will only do it to the lower 48 in the US. Ok? PM me if you wanna take this special offer. Feedback link is in my sig.

    Hope this helps someone.

    -Jared

    I dont care what the price is. I am getting it for $99.99, so that is what I will sell it for. $119.99 is BS. Absolute crock of crap.

    I got mine for $99.99, and so should every other collector. Anything more, in my opinion, is stealing.

    Just playing devil's advocate here, but how do you know that whomever you sell it to here wont turn it around on eBay for a profit? Might be better to do this for someone you know/trust.

    I dont. I would hope, that the honor of being a TFW member would keep them from doing such thievery. The god of cybertron will smite them if they do.

    I know I am doing the right thing... thats enough for me. What they do is on them.

    Oh man, this is tempting but I am just waiting for my preorder, but that is the problem..."waiting" I don't know how everyone is getting their hands on MP-10. My preorder said that he would be shipped out Oct. 14th. Whoever doesn't have him yet should definitely buy this guy

    how much do think shipping would be to NC 28803? I really want one but the guy I talked to at my TRU said they have all been claimed for the next 6 weeks worth of shipments at least.

    In my opinion: yes. Its still a great value, but my first one I even got for 20% off of $100 with a coupon. It makes me so UPSET to see you guys having to pay so much to get something. Its a freaking toy for petes sake... and we are the collectors. Jacking up the price is punching us in the gonads.

    Really cool thing your doing! I'm just glad I was able to hook people up before the huge price increase. Wonder how much of a "loss" did TRU take by sending these out first at the "promo" sale price, then the middle of the night price jack. Most I payed for Prime ( out of 6) was straight retail $99.99 after I got TRu to price match themselves

    See, that's what I'm saying. I think a lot of the "evil" eBayers we see are members here. If I didn't already cave in to one such eBayer I'd be all over this.
