According to Vangelus he has since come clean about it, said that him, Peaugh and Sean would all pay big money to get toys early from Chinese factory workers who would steal the toys almost a half a year in advance from street dates.
Vangelus admitted his channel would not have gotten the attention and explode if not for those 4 Revenge of the Fallen scout toys he paid almost $500 for to review months ahead of everyone in the virgin Youtube reviewer days. $500 well spend in his mind.
Sean paid almost $1000 for a Animated Blitzwing to review again almost half a year before retail release.
Peaugh with Dark of the Moon toys, Ages3andUp and other 3rd Party companies have also said he is known for contacting them and willing to pay them a premium to get the toy before everyone for a review.
It's kinda madness really. Sure it worked out for most of them, but paying money to get the review first and maybe breaking even.
