Anyone ever deal with guys on ebay trying to shake you down telling you what your selling is too much. Anyway, I was selling on ebay and this guy keeps emailing me making little stabs here and there then finally I said I can't sell any cheaper on ebay beacause of fees but would sell it for X amount through one of my sales on the forums. Next thing you know I'm getting a notice from ebay that I violated policy and one more and I'd get banned. What a weenie this guy is. Here is his auction so if your selling or buying please avoid this guy. He told me a mint in box popy golion is only worth $535.00. I sold one of those 10 years ago for more than that. I hope posting this auction doesnt get me in trouble but this guy has hassled me on two of my auctions recently and thought I should post it here so it gets seen.It's one thing to hassle me but when I try to be kind and he goes and tries to get me in trouble with ebay cause he can't afford my item that's another. Here's a link to ericcruzstealth otherwise know as Weenie www.ebay.com/itm/Voltron-III-Diecast-Matchbox-Made-in-Japan-/171068153383?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item27d474de27

This VV is in my dreams now. I woke up in a panic because my VV arrived with a broken leg and a broken face. More like a nightmare than a dream. Total geek here

Well I just got my email notification. I am hopeful that our delay in receiving ours was a good thing and that Toy Freakz is receiving a truly Non Problamatic Run of these toys. They are awesome to look at and if we can play with them and display them without the issues we have been seeing then the wait was worth it. I so wanted to be one of the first to get this which is why I preordered but now I'm glad I didn't get mine first. I would be pissed if mine came with parts missing. I'm just gonna believe Dave knew something we didn't because we may end up with the best of the batch now that the the QC issues have been addressed. This personally is my first collectable that is a first run. I always buy Vintage. I've learned a lot from this experience. It never even crossed my mind that the first run would have issues but maybe Dave knew this from experience and didn't want the first run for obvious reasons. Hmmmmm....

Hey Demonseed, Definately off subject... I was just playing with one of those Thomas the Transformers that you've got as an avatar I got it for my son thinking he'd like it which he does. He loves Voltorn. He's only four but he broke his Matchbox lions heads last night then found that Thomas in his pile of transformers. Man that thing is poorly made. Is there a better diecast version of it available. The one I bought him is junk

[/quote] I wouldn't worry about this. A license only has to do with official distribution which there are many ways to get around. It doesn't mean that something can't be bought and sold in the U.S., it just means that any USA retailer has to buy from outside the USA from somebody who IS a licensed distributor or retailer. Or the USA seller has to buy it from a "retail" wholesaler, which has nothing to do with a licensed distribution. [/quote]
I was wondering how that worked legally and all thanks for clarifying. As far as buying and reselling if its not illegal who cares. If these "scalper" are buying pre orders then aren't they actually just part of the pre order which helps determine the quantity anyway so there will be even more made by the factory and available through proper dealers. Personally I bought 3, two for display and one will stay boxed. If I ever need the money down the road I sure hope the price has gone supernova on these.

No offense taken. With all the speculation recently I figured what the hell. Ill join in on the fun. Put it this way, I have not called Dave or emailed him about this txt. I fully believe we will get ours and like Dave said if you didnt hear it from him or MP its probably not true. We already know about the license issue so if that the inside info hes referring to then Im not worried

I got a txt from a fellow collector yesterday that has been bugging me. It could cause panic and alarm on this board but since this thread breeds that for some reason here goes.
He wrote:
I got mine on eBay, but I havent got it yet. I have inside information that Miracle did not get the license to sell it in the U.S
They only have the license to sell it in Asia. U.S. retailers are not going to get their supply of V.V.
Now does he know something we don't??
At first I didnt think much of it but after reading the posts from the past couple days Im starting to wonder if this inside info is different than what we all know already.

That thing is soooo bad ass I want like a hundred of them but I'll have to settle for the two I preordered. It will be well worth the wait. Great Video btw. Thanks Dave for the updates and pics of the instructions..

If this gets shipped soon it goes along with what I was told a month and a half ago when we called toyfreakz. Dave wasnt in but spoke to another guy and was told theyd be getting loaded and shipped around June. I put my money down so long ago that not having it isnt hurting me. I too have spent more in a night partying so at least once the two I ordered get here I will have something to show for it other than a hang over and an std scare

Thats good to hear. I too have received numerous updates as well as photographs and my item is to ship today or tomorrow. The posts did concern me to but I figured Id rather take a gamble on this than in a casino and so far it looks like Ive made the right choice. All my msgs were promotly answered. He was able to track down a Popy Golion for me and in box, sealed weapons, chrome joints at a great price. I am very excited to get it and will post pics when I do

Well I have given Battleaura a chance and he gave me a good price. I made the purchase last night and had already read yesterdays post. He and I had been in communication for two weeks and he was very up front with me that he was getting what I purchased from a friends shop. For those that are skeptical I have taken the risk and am very hopeful this transaction goes well. Since payment last night I have received 4 updates so communication is there. I will keep everyone posted and am very excited to get my item which I will keep to myself until I receive it.

Sorry to hear about all the bad experiences. I fortunately had a great experience. I scored a very nice Dairugger XV for an unbelieveably chep price and it came in great condition and was exactly what I expected. Not trying to talk them up or down but I did have a good experience with my purchase
