    Confusing Auction

    So, the guy bought the figure at Target, probably for $12.99. He damages it , doesn't mention it anywhere in the auction and asks twice what he paid?

      He shaved off some of the extra weight and volume to save you on shipping! How ungrateful...

        I sent him a message questioning him about cutting the card in half and charging double retail. I doubt he will respond

            Kelly's a peg warmer here so he's going to be stuck with it.

                  I really don't understand - in general - why these are being sold on ebay for more than retail since they are available on Targets website (most anyway) - Am I missing something - maybe low numbers??

                        Well the only Target stores are in the USA, and online they only ship to USA & Canada, so I guess these guys are going after Mego people in rest of the world?

                        Luckily I live in Canada. Mego fans elsewhere don't have that option.
