  1. naw I would totally tell him that in person. The same way I would ... TM Joerhyno Edit: Now, now TM.. let's be civil... Thanks, mate, for proving my point. Pretty easy to see who's the businessperson and who's the mouth-breathing troglodyte. Cheers!
  2. More likely it teaches him not to respond to complaints in the forums, because the anonymity of the internet allows people who wouldn't have the bollocks to make snide comments in person to snipe away as if they have a pair. I've spent a lot of time in these forums the last two weeks (mostly started checking for Comic-Con information) and I have to say that I'm not sure if it's a by-product of the collector mentality, or just a general sense of American entitlement that makes people feel as if those figures were rightfully theirs. A pre-sale implies the item is not in hand, and you'd have to be a real archie not to know you might not get it. Even retailers who have things on order with their suppliers might not get the items they've presold...shipments get allocated all the time. The fact that his auction stated what you would receive in the event the item could not be filled, and that was honoured in this case (as the feedback most customers left would suggest) speaks volumes to me. It's an obvious disappointment for those who didn't get the item, but the very fact that this bloke had a guarantee in place that told you exactly what you'd be getting should the item be unfillable should have been a giant red flag that you were taking the risk of possibly not getting the item. Maybe you should have hedged your bets and bought another from another pre-sale...then you wouldn't be crying about it now, and if you'd ended up with an extra toy maybe you could have turned around and sold it yourself, or traded it with a friend who didn't get one. If you ask me the real villain in this whole situation is Hasbro. A limited item at a regional show that they didn't bring enough of and sold by the case the first night seems like a big "sod off" to their customers to me. I saw them kick people out of line at the show for being "dealers" yet sold entire cases to others under the guise of making sure the collectors got first dibs. Isn't it funny that so many so-called "collectors" have these up on E-Bay for 80 to 100 dollars. I guess the real lesson here is if you want to get first crack at something, don't let Hasbro know you run a legitimate business and are trying to fill orders offered at a reasonable price...pass yourself off as a "true fan," buy it all then rape the fans for all they've got on E-Bay. Mr. Bullock, I've never heard of your company before, but after I saw your post on here attempting to get the matter sorted, I am impressed. You'll get trolled and burned at the stake in the forums, of course, for daring to be imperfect amongst so many flawless trolls, but any rational person will appreciate you taking the time to set the record straight. You may have lost a few buyers over this, but you've earned a future one here.
