Scalpers up the price on orange one's cause these are only suppose to be a UK exclusive. The fact that someone has one of these in the states they think they are worth a ton of cash.

Most people on Ebay are stupid, on both ends of the stick. Scalpers, and the Rtarded buyers that pay their prices.

Maybe a little more, but it won't be over $100.

Only way to. Unless they get them from the wearhouse before they ship overseas. It's been known to happen with Diamond Comics. People pick through cases looking for exclusives and scalp em early.
What we should do, is show Joe, then have Joe report it to someone. And then what THEY should do, is buy it from the person, get the return adress, and fire the dumbass once they find out who he is. Then file a lawsuit against him and get their money back, and then some. :D

I'm not so sure there will be a massive drop in the price of these.
As I've mentioned before, pre-orders were limited to one per customer and the website is showing the Orange Haya as 'Out of Stock' now rather than 'Available to Pre-order'. Does this mean they've accounted for their entire online stock? I dunno but it's likely considering the hype around this one figure. If that means they only have stock left to go into their stores you can bet it won't be much and you can bet it'll be picked clean pretty damn quick. We do have scalpers here too ya know and they've likely seen what these are going for already.
If that's the case you guys are going to be seeing alot more of these on the Bay. On the basis that some of the Series 3 Walmart/Toys 'R' us exclusives are fetching $100 each still I wouldn't expect the Haya to drop in price too quickly.

Thats true, but they're still a hell of a lot more accesible to you guys than an exclusive that is limited to one chain of videogame shops in the UK (and Oz, but how many of you ever get anything shipped from there?).
It would be interesting to know how many are actually being supplied to Gamestation because the Halo figures are not as much of a craze over here as they are in the States. What was left of Series 1 got reduced to half price fairly quickly in Gamestation stores, likewise on Play.com

Excpet my contact preorderd 3, in store, and they let him do it. And will call him when the 3 come in. So I don't think all Gamestations kept it to 1 preorder per person.
Gamestop was supposed to hold to 1 per person as well, but as Meatwad has proven you can order alot more then that. He got 8 from preorders alone. ;)
Also remember, Diamond exclusives were limited to comic shops, which aren't everywhere, but since they've been released I've seen 15+ different ones on EBay, and know half the board already got some, me included. So the "hardest" to get figure out there, is as common as most of the other ones. The figures we don't see alot of, are the figures that aren't being mass distributed yet. Don't worry, I don't believe the Orange is gonna be too much more expensive then a Blue about 2 months or so after they're released. ;)

Pre-ordering instore is a completely different kettle of fish. If you know the staff and they agree to hold stock for you that's a bonus but all it means is that there will be less for other customers to buy so it doesn't make them any easier to get hold of. Besides, unless he actually paid for them already I wouldn't go counting your chickens
I hope I'm wrong and you yanks are able to pick these up at affordable prices but I still think it all hinges on exactly how many were produced and whether there is a healthy showing of them in the stores.
Trunks3540
10-13-2008, 03:41 PM
We're thinking they're gonna be like the Gamestop exclusives when they come out. 8 Oranges per case, 1-3 cases per store +whatever was preordered. And as far as I know, you have to put $5 down on a preorder here at Gamestop. Is Gamestation the same with those? I know my dudes getting them from the store, not the site.

10-13-2008, 03:45 PM
You don't have to put down a deposit when you order online with Gamestation.
Not sure how it works in-store but they don't have an official in-store pre-order system.
I seem to remember Graham tried to pre-order one when he was instore a week or so back and got told "No", although I could be completely wrong, probably am.

My dude did it like 2 months ago or longer. They might just have cut off the preorder date. Gamestop stopped their preorders 2 weeks before they got the figures. And it'll take longer for Gamestation since they're further away from the wearhouse ;).

That is an awfully strong accusation. I'd say it's a little ill-informed as well since the seller is in NYC. It's probably a cast off of some sort because of the armor.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that you seem to be getting REALLY twisted about a figure. I mean yada yada yada it's unfair, blah, blah blah. But hasn't every Halo exclusive so far shown up in the McF store? There will be cheaper ways to get your hands on him and they'll almost certainly be better for your blood-pressure. Chill out.

It was said earlier, either in this topic or another, they claim to work for TMP. So if they do, they steal it from their employer. And I'm not posative of that, but how else would they get it before the store it is made for has? Gotta either work there or know someone that does.
And it's not about the figure. It's about the principle of them stealing the figure before its out just to hike the price and make $200+ on it. It's been known to happen in the past, and will continu in the future. I've just seen so much of it I'm getting fed up. It also depends on my mood sometimes is on how I will reply to these kind of situations. If I'm in a good mood I won't be as mad, or just provide info instead of ***** about it. But if I'm in a bad mood I'll prolly end up going off on a rant or something. It's just how I am lol. :D

Wait, how is it stealing? People get stuff from their employers. Hell, I've seen Joe post hauls that he gets from TMP. I forget what their employee pricing is or whatever, but they are allowed to do whatever they want with the figs they get. I'm sure it's "frowned" upon by them or whatever but for $300 they can frown all day long. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that was Joe himself selling the figs. ;) :p

10-14-2008, 04:56 PM
I never knew they just gave figures away at TMP. Most companies don't do that. And I don't see why TMP would give away one of their short packed and hardest to get exclusives. But even if they didn't steal it, they're still ripping people off. And most of the others like this I've seen they *did* steal it from the company. I guess $300 is worth more then a paycheck every 2 weeksof the same value or higher to some people.

Not sure if they just give them away but I know they get a discount at least. Joe posted about it one time....can't remember...
But then another Staff guy posted that he showed up in his office one morning and the whole set of Series 2 was there, including exclusives. I'm sure there is no shortage of "short packed" items with they are making them.

Ok I need to put a stop to all this. First off YES TMP employees get free figures after being with the company for a certain amount of time. HOWEVER they will get fired if they are found selling those figures and I believe that any store exclusives are not included in this only normal production pieces.
NOW what I think happened is many times companies will send out samples to various places (magazines, web sites, etc) so pictures can be taken and articles can be written. Also anything with a license involved means that final product approval needs to be made by the company that owns the license (ie bungie) meaning that samples of all the figures are sent to that company for approval. What has happened in the past is these pre-release figures get into the hands of people and get sold. It has happened with club exclusives before (stealth scar pred).
I think is is discusting that you would blam someone you don't even know about stealing figures. I can assure you that anyone caught doing this gets fired and taken to court. This very thing happened with someone that stole a pre production sample of the world series barry bonds figure. It seems alot more likely that an outside company is getting these figures early and someone there is selling them.
Frankly this is absolutly nothing new and I don't see why you are so pissed. You are not the one bidding, you already have yours ordered, and it is not retails are going to see this auction and jack up the price. Calm down it is just a repaint of the figure that is already out.
God I hate Halo.

80% of the time, the only way to get something from the company you work for without buying it in the store is selling it. And since this can't be found in the store they'd shop at, there ya go. There are a few exceptions which I found out. So he might not have stole it. But he still should get fired for scalping it ;).
Manga_Spawn
10-14-2008, 10:39 PM
Still not listening. I said that these figures are given to outside companies or whatever so if someone there takes it and sells them Mcfarlane cannot really do anything. Being that there have only been what 3 on ebay it seems like that is more likely than someone at Mcfarlane risking their job for a couple bucks on ebay. Plus anyone can claim they work for Mcfarlane when in reality they do not have a huge number of employees. If someone did indeed steal it they will get theirs.
Honestly just forget about it. The poor fool that just paid $170 is the one that should mad. This will always happen. As long as you are smarter than the idiot that bid then who cares. :)
Trunks3540
10-14-2008, 10:43 PM
It'll make the ebay scalpers jump their prices up. They see $170-$300, then they'll be after them. They see them in their native country, they'll buy em all, and try to scalp them for over $100. That's what happened with the S2 Blues. Scalper made the demand, and shortend the supply, and made them the higher prices for a while. That not only burns our UK bardie friends out of buying them to trade for us, but getting theirs as well. That's how it works. Eventually they will go down. But probebly not under $40. Because of these ****** bags selling them for over $100 a pop.

It'll make the ebay scalpers jump their prices up. They see $170-$300, then they'll be after them. They see them in their native country, they'll buy em all, and try to scalp them for over $100. That's what happened with the S2 Blues. Scalper made the demand, and shortend the supply, and made them the higher prices for a while. That not only burns our UK bardie friends out of buying them to trade for us, but getting theirs as well. That's how it works. Eventually they will go down. But probebly not under $40. Because of these ****** bags selling them for over $100 a pop.
Personally I like the exclusives, Ihate the limited supply. I mean, Todd doesn't make any money off the secondary market....or does he???? LOL
UPDATE: I just saw an Orange Hayabusa(no lie) he's probably going to be a giveaway at an online Halo tournament. More info will be posted as soon as I get confirmation.

That'll be just dandy.
Todd makes money off the regulars since he has the exclusives. While people go looking, if they don't find any exclusives, they pick up another figure to help with the disapointment (not everyone does this, and not all the time). And if they do find one, sometimes it just doesn't feel right buying 1 figure, he needs a companion :D (again not everyone does this). Plus most people are hunting for the exclusives and buy the main set all the way. If there weren't any, the line would still do ok, but not be as big a success as it is. People would still buy the campeign figures, but prolly not as many. The only reason I have as many Covies as I do is because I feel the Spartans outnumber the Covenant figures I have. Still do with all the ones I got. And now the Elites are there to help the Spartans out. The Covenant members are extremely outnumbered.

Y'know, I unno why they make it a one day listing. Unless they can get in trouble. Cause if it goes up to $300 in a day, imagine what it might be in a week. Course it could also backfire. But it seems to me someones paranoid. ;)

Actually, this company runs a consignment store and they sell items for customers. So actually whoever dropped off that figure for them to sell is not taking any risks here. I think the person who dropped it off told them to do a 1 day auction so "They" can sell it rather quickly.

I make some of my auctions a day. Depends on how fast I need the money, and if I think that the item will sell for same price in a day or in ten days... It's a common practice.

I didn't know that. Most auctions I watch or partake in are usually a week or so. Shortest one I ever was in was 4 days.

Not me either... I'll wait for the mass production to arrive. I'm sure some online seller will have them for far cheaper.

Yeah, when the silver came out, i thought it would be really expensive. But a few people had tons of them. I picked 2 up from one guy selling like 10-15 of them for $19.99 each, with $20shipping ($8 for second figure)
Im sure the orange will be simular once they come out.

Sounds like the same guy I purchased (Silver Mark VI) mine from... Really fast shipping too!
Was it a seller from Singapore? Just curious.

They'll drop soon enough. Once they come out in the UK the ebay ones will drop under $50. Hopefully alot less.
