If you would like to purchase one or have any questions please inbox me or comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible! Free shipping to the United Kingdom & ROI, if you live in the EU I will give discount rates, outside of the EU costs may vary (but will show proof of cost).Thanks!

Voxumo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) *Calculates this*If a person were to wait a month and get this from shop at home, for the US at least, it would roughly cost them a minimum of $15, because even though it says free you still have to purchase something. So $10 for a protector, $5 for shipping, depending on which kind of shipping you choose. So yeah for $15 I could get a protector and the 'hero pack'. There is a difference between making a living, and frankly overcharging.

There is a difference between making a living, and frankly overcharging.You could just order a mini figure pack or something. You'd end up paying roughly $7. So £25 is out the window. They may possibly become valuable around a year after the promotion 1 Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlw123 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) OK I will make some revisions, £10 each, not including shipping.. Hopefully that is a better deal Edited February 1, 2015 by jmlw123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What is going on with you people??? I bought a bunch of these today and will sell them for £5 each when the promotion is OVER! Anyone asking $25 each while the promotion is active should be ashamed of themselves. If you insist on ripping people off then go to ebay, don't insult BZPers who know better than to fall for your cheap tricks... 5 Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!

Pomegranate Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Can't blaim a guy for trying, it's not like he's forcing anyone to buy it. There's some rich, impatient, very excited people out there who may not have any other means to get it and this might've made their day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Nui Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah, it seems like quite an overcharge. I personally think the prices would be a bit more suitable for when the promotion is officially over and there are less of these packs on the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Teresa is operating a business and has been for many years longer than I have. While she may charge a lot for what she sells she operates according to a business plan that clearlyworks for her. I doubt that's the case for this newcomer...

Jobber Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's hilarious seeing people getting so bent about this. Do ya'll really need a reason for why he's selling the promo?Let someone who's interested in buying it worry about the cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlw123 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) OK, I am ending this, I will just list these 2 polybags domestically on ebay for £0.99 starting bid. Thanks to those for realising it was nothing more than just a bit of entrepreneurship... Edited February 1, 2015 by jmlw123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintsmith Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You weren't wrong. When I auctioned Piraka a couple weeks before the release, people went crazy. There are plenty of people who aren't in UK or US and want the Hero Pack. You're just too quick for us because we know everything. Open a pack and sell the trans-orange mask on eBay to the uninformed. Or, as suggested above, wait a year or 5. How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda .

-Windrider- Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Look, there's no reason for this. There's no reason to attack another member over prices. Munty, your first post was just disrespectful. Honestly, I've seen a growing kind of elitism like this in B/S/T lately, and I don't like it. It's not in the B/S/T rules, but there is a rule on respect in the global rules. It needs to be followed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sorry then, I feel like trying to sell a free promotional set for £25 is rather more disrespectful than pointing out how overpriced it is but I agree the tone I used was unnecessary... For the record, the exploit is now fixed in the UK stores.

-Windrider- Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 A respectful tone is all I can ask for. Questioning prices is okay - just when done appropriately. Anyway, after your last post, do you need this locked up then, jmlw? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
