Now the buyer is refusing to accept the package if it doesn't have a fucking tracking number. To my knowledge, the only international shipping that's trackable is USPS's Global Express. This is such horse shit.

He keeps blabbing on about something trackable that starts with CX 0000-00000 ... but I have no fucking clue what that is.
I think CX is Canadian Express?

Tell that asshat that shipping terms were listed in the auction, and he should have reviewed/asked questions prior to bidding. Placinng a bid=binding contract, it even says so before confirming the bid. Drop negative feedback on his ass.

Edit: That's why when I ever get around to ebaying my stuff, shipping to continental US only. None of this international or Hawaii/Alaska crap.

I'm assuming he's talking about the ones that use all the same molds but different plastic.

Starscream
Ghost of Starscream
Black Starscream
Sunstorm
Thundercracker
Skywarp

I wish he could do:

Ramjet
Dirge
Thrust
My understanding is the he is doing all 6 of the G1 jets. Not sure if he's doing ghost/black starscream or sunstorm.

update on this Canada bullshit ...


I don't want anything to do with this retard. I issued a refund and called it quits. I told him that the auction stated "USPS AIRMAIL" ... nowhere did it state "GLOBAL PRIORITY". If I were to force shipment, he'd say he never got it ... I'd have no proof it got delivered.

He'd have to toys and get a refund. I'm at a total "no win" situation.

I refunded the total, and ate the $2 in eBay fees.



Global Priority on this thing would have cost $34. FUCK THAT.

:down: I hate international shipping. Tell the guy to piss off if he can't accept the auction terms. Damn illiterate people.

Some retard got tricky with my US Shipping only and ended up being in the Virgin Islands. It was partly my fault because I glanced quickly at his address after he paid, saw the normal 5 digit zip code, a "VI" and assumed Virginia for some odd reason. It was for a Civic front spoiler so I planned on using UPS or FedEx and at the mailing place they quoted $330 for UPS and $240 for FedEx. Me = :jawdrop: I took it to the post office, $9.50 for USPS. :chuckles:

:werd:

Shipping the AFA P-king completely sucked. It arrived in Austrailia sans the koala poop as I had hoped, but the acrylic was shattered by the Aussie Post. I finally ended up settling with the seller by giving him a $50 refund.

I am never selling outside the continental US again. It's just too f-ing troublesome.

I would have refunded that Canadian ass-hat his money less the listing fee & final value fees.

Jets in OG packing. I am so screwed.

Hey guys, if you see any knockoff Primes or Crystal Cassettes surface on eBay, please post them up here. (Derry needs help with this) On the Primes, look for bulk sellers. I don't care about someone selling 1 ... 2 or more, post it up. On the Crystal Cassettes, any and all that appear.



Not good ...
http://cgi.ebay.com/the-limited-edit...QQcmdZViewItem
- They stole Derry's pictures
- They're using an IL address, but actually shipping directly from China without notice

Trainee007 is NOT an authorized reseller (the irony)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-G1-...QQcmdZViewItem
- ripped image from wangyonghai


This is allowed
http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-G1-...QQcmdZViewItem
- wangyonghai is the only Derry authorized reseller


What does this mean to us?
Derry owns the Prime and Cassette presses. He runs an operation with wangyonghai to produce replicas. Derry is trying to keep things to a limited feel, so he's counting everything that's being made. Right now, press runs are being made and sold behind his back.

If this doesn't stop, there will be 100 red foots. There will be 2,000 crystal tapes. There will be variations outside of his control.

Most importantly, these presses need to stay in shape for the ENTIRE Prime run (Chrome, Gold, etc) ... if the presses are blown out making high quantites of black prime, we all get screwed.

I can't tell you how many times I thought about that. :hs:



I feel bad for Derry because he's trying to protect his investment, although blackmarket. He's trying to produce dream figures Takara wouldn't touch. I do believe Derry is in this for 2 things:

1. make money
2. supply figures Takara wouldn't do. He wants to listen to the fans and give the fans what they want. The suggestions aren't falling onto deaf ears.

2/27/06: I suggest Crystal tapes
2/28/06: 11:59pm Crystal prototype images are in my mail box.

The red foot is suggested. The red foot is made. HAN is the only TF group in the WORLD that knows this is coming. A freaking HONDA board has insider information to all the upcoming KO's. We're all helping call the shots.

Derry is very good to us here on HAN and I think we owe it to him.

^ Maybe we should find a way to move the entire KO discussion off HAN to a SOC-like invite only message board?
