>>10888538There’s a narrow window on ebay that lasts a couple days after when the figures ship before they start skyrocketing to scalper prices. If you know roughly when something is supposed to be shipped you can check ebay and find a few shops selling them for around MSRP.
Every figure I’ve been dicked around with on preorders because they were cancelled or shorted I found for about the same price this way.
This isn’t some elite hack but it’s a guaranteed purchase and the easiest way to get these stupid fucking things that gives you the least headache. I’ve had orders cancelled that I placed thirty seconds after they went up.
