^ Did yours come in a box? The last time I ordered a figure from Europe it was sent in a bubble mailer. Amazingly it didn't get wrecked but as a seller I know that's rare. I always send mine out in boxes, bubble mailers are only good for books or clothing usually.

Anyway mine is due anytime until the 15th. I probably should have ordered that dragonfly vehicle as well, but I strongly have no desire to own any vehicles (I still hate them) so I thought it would be a waste of money. I own the ones I have now only because of the stat boost to my waifu. LOL

Frankly, I don't believe Dark35 because I've never seen regular Thrillipede instore, he isn't on the EB Games website or any catalogues AFAIK, SilverWolf deconfirmed him and there was that time Dark35 was wrong/lied about Luminous parts in Imaginators (sorry for calling you out on that, but it still happened).



What don't you believe me about?

i order mine from ebay as well but like 2-3 weeks ago, i dont think it has even shipped yet. it says it should arrive mid August, i have a feeling the person selling them is trying to get more or something.

I noticed that he's currently higher on ebay now than last month. It seems that the lowest price is keeping at $48 shipped only because someone ordered a load of them from Europe and is flooding ebay with them.

He probably won't go too much higher as it seems that one seller (Rush Gaming) on Amazon.uk has an unlimited supply of harder to get Skylanders. He has Spotlight and Blackout for under $20 which is very reasonable. I may order a Spotlight and Buzz Wing from him as it'll be cheaper than buying them from anyone in the USA and I doubt I'd get lucky enough to get them on the cheap (my usual $2 dollar garage sale finds).

If you bout from this seller get your money back as he doesn't have them in stock and doesn't know when he will get them

http://www.ebay.com/itm/THRILL...E:X:BCS:US:3160

This was his reply to me asking if it would arrive this wk like the shipping said.

I'm sorry, Thrillipede has been delayed by the manufacturer.
If you do not wish to wait I can give you a full refund now.
Thank you
Have a great day

^ That's bad but it does make sense as I wondered how he had so many. A popular scammer trick is to run a legit account for a year or so and wait for the paypal/ebay restrictions/limits to go away. Then you list a few hundred of the some super popular item to get a flood of money over a couple days. Then you take all the money and run.

Examples of this is $50 brand new Wii U or PS4 systems. Ebay usually catches them fast when it's really obvious like that and they will shut the listing down and refund everything. Sadly they don't usually catch on to the cheaper stuff like $25 dollar figures when the seller seems legit enough and made it though restrictions.

Don't know if that had happened here. It could have been a horrible misplanning. It's why a seller should never pre-sell anything as you cannot be 100% sure you'll get it. A red flag that it was a pre-sell was the huge waiting time to ship. He probably ordered a ton via Toys R Us and they shut him down or something.

Either way, he sold 177 of them (probably much more in pairs with his vehicle) and I cannot see any that was actually fulfilled. He will be loosing his account soon as ebay has a 5% sellers defect policy and he only has about 400 positive feedback. I think that's about 20 defects he's allowed and I'd wager he'll get at least 200 defects to his account over this.

Anyway, the Amazon.uk seller I had mentioned before (Rush Gaming) seems to be out of them! He was basically keeping prices down on these for a while. So give a few more months for supply to thin out at the $45 dollar level, I feel that he'll probably double in price (if not more) by Christmas time. I wouldn't wait any longer to get one if you're still debating about him. I don't think we here in the USA will ever see him again in the $20 range.

Hmm. I wonder if the Aussies are willing to trade a Yawn Trap set for a Thrillipede yet? Seriously, I rather have the Yawns vs. Thillipede as I still don't care a whole lot for SuperChargers and Thrillipede is rather ugly. LOL!

We personally never buy from a seller with any negative feedback, and that jdcabez has had negative feedback for at least 12 months.

Usually we only buy from 2 or 3 eBay sellers, they seem to have everything, perhaps they're employees or something.

If the seller won't refund you can always go through eBay and/or PayPal.

Even if they did refund, we would leave appropriate feedback as to why we're not happy so others can avoid getting scammed too.


I remember I bought from eBay overseas, this german guy, he was painting gold and silver SSA figures...well he didnt count on the fact that we actually open up rare figures, and I found the paint came right off on my hand, it was a Silver Dino-Rang, as well as the others.
But eBay took care of us and refunded our money back, pictures and video were required, but that is why we always take pictures of the box when it comes, as we open up the box, and as we open up the figures.


Stay safe out there!

If you guys need to buy from a reputable buyer on eBay, let us know, we can point you to a few good folks that we've bought from for years.

I had a bad experience with jdcabez. They were using a photo I posted on DS of Splat. I sent them a message asking not to use my photo to sell their items. I didn't get a response. I sent another message explaining they do not have rights to use my image on ebay, and that it was an edited photo. They responded by removing the watermark they put on it and continued to use my image until they were sold out. Bogus

Wow that sucks! I dont know about eBay rules on copyright or protected images, but I would imagine they would not be okay with that jdcabez scumbag seller doing that.
eBay is filled with bad and good sellers, resellers, but it's important to let others know when we have a bad experience so we can help out each other to avoid the scammers.

I dont always eBay, but when I do, I buy cautiously. Stay safe out there my friends. smilie

Hey Ports! I currently have two bad feedbacks and four neutrals vs. some 1200 positives for the year on my two accounts. Would you refuse to buy from me? smilie How were those Skylanders posters I sent you by the way? LOL

Just teasing ya! I know what you mean though. I tend to look at the experience factors (if they are a real business, how much they sell and for how long). I know from personal experience that high volume sellers cannot ever maintain a 100% perfection, so I tolerate a 1 to 2 percent bad feedback rate and I rarely have any issues with them.

My issues are usually from inexperienced people who are not really sellers with a lot of positive feedback (mostly from purchases). About 50% of the time they tend to do really stupid stuff like not pack something well enough to survive a trip though the mail. I end up probably only buying 3 items a year from sellers like that and a few dozen purchases with legit high volume sellers with a reasonable amount of bad feedback.

But honestly this Thrillipede seller fooled me! I was going to buy from him as well but the guy over on Amazon UK appeared to be a legit registered UK business to me, so I went with him instead.

I just hope others won't have too much trouble getting their money back! I feel really bad for you guys who didn't get one as he basically doubled in price since last month when you pre-ordered them... T_T; The younger buyers especially as it's a horrible learning experience about rarity, supply and demand...

I just got mine in today (8/4) and it was a European one, due to the two notches for the hook.
The figure was the same design as the Easter variant. The original design was suppose to have a third grenade in the middle hand w/ the pin in his mouth and more strapped to him. But they took the Easter version instead and gave him his regular colors.
It seems like they're making a lot of epic fails: bad paint jobs, not releasing items in certain countries (no Yawn traps for US? Where's the love?) and now the massive delay for Thrillipede to the US. I ordered mine from EBay because I don't know if this character will be released or not.
I just hope this doesn't happen with SI.

I just ordered Buzz Wing from Amazon from 14.99. However, Activision can kiss my business good bye if they think that I am going to pay double of what is already a high price to get the last figure from overseas. Why couldn't they just release it here? If that is the way it is going to be moving forward then I will just wait until the game and figures are rock bottom prices towards the end of the game cycle to pick them up and avoid putting any extra money in their pockets. I don't want to wish failure on them for this but at some point their head and their behind need to be pulled apart.
