So... I ordered a set of 8 DTC Wave 3... they got sent to the wrong house and singed for. So the chances of me getting it are dead.
So I've tried everywhere, Brianstoys, Big bad toystore... Everywhere(I can't use Hasbro as they discriminate against non-us residents despite being a worldwide company) and I cannot find another case of 8... heck the lots of six are all sold out. So now I have to face thechance of buying them inidvidually and with $9.99 PER COBRA TROOPER , and $6.99 per Saw Viper as an average... I am none too pleased. I ended up paying £35 (about $65) for that case(plus shipping) and now I'm looking to be paying closer to £60 (over $100) to buy them individually.
This has totally ruined my weekend as I could get a set of 15 Convention exclusives for $200... that means that I'll be paying roughly the same price as convention exclusives for these regular figures.
But this is the knock-on effect that excessive troop building has on the rest of us. Whilst an army of 200 Cobra Troops may look cool for some of you... it means the rest have to pay sometimes over double the RRP.
And what's worse is that I can't order till June/July... meaning that wave 3 will be even harder to find... and even more expensive... So is there anywhere where I can get a set of 8 that will most likely have them by that time?
I've had to rewrite my future dios enough (and since they were meant to arrive in April... this has explained the absence of any issues since then. I just got tired of waiting a few weeks ago and started... however without Med-Alert and a Saw Viper I can't really progress much)
Thanks Cool
