Order was cancelled by Amazon due to an incorrect price listing :(

Anyone else get this email.
Skatterbrain on 04/01/2013 - 09:32

I call shenanigans. Where is the relisted item at the correct price then? The only MP10s I can see are the Takara Tomy ones.

Oh well, at least it wasn't something that I necessarily needed to own anyway..
fookos on 04/01/2013 - 10:20
Have you seen the comments in the reviews on the Optimus Amazon page now? Some pretty angry shoppers in Amazon-world!

Yes, it's disappointing but, c'mon, a business is a business and at the volume of orders they would have received on this item I guess they couldn't honour it let alone even secure the stock volume the pricing attracted.

What's the point being angry, we knew it was a longshot but we gave it a whirl!!

I'm still committed to finding one of these for my son, or me ;) (okay, it will be mine but I'll let him keep it in his room - heh)

Cheers.

EDIT:

Anyone know where to get one of these locally (or online)?

Why are these relatively expensive usually? Price point doesn't seem to justify the product
wtfnodeal on 04/01/2013 - 11:41

LOL. Hope my declaration would exempt me from Gerry, I meant Amazon from pointing me as professional again.
deywar on 04/01/2013 - 13:34

Damn, got the email as well. I was really looking forward to this, as I was going to build a new display cabinet. Gutted :(

    just curious how many hits did you get from your affiliate link
    - gooddealmate on 04/01/2013 - 16:37
      
      Just over a 1000 clicks with 91 purchases… Doesnt matter though more happy with the fact it became my most voted for deal.
    - easternculture on 04/01/2013 - 16:58
      
      thought u would have got more with the 8000+ clicks on the deal
    - NotJustChickenDinner on 05/01/2013 - 00:09
      
      can i ask how much you would have got for each of the 91 purchases went through :)
    - easternculture on 05/01/2013 - 01:05
      
      id say probably ~ $2.50 each based on the 5% commision
wtfnodeal on 04/01/2013 - 20:27

The email mentioned we could purchase at a correct price but I couldn't see where the link is. Does anyone know how much is it and the link please?
- Grimr on 04/01/2013 - 20:29
  
  Prob sorting out the fall out of the cancellations, probably be about 80 GBP. But as mentioned below, can also seek it out at Toys R Us, some still have him.
Grimr on 04/01/2013 - 20:28

If people still want one Toys R Us sells them for $150…I realize this will not be seen as a bargain, but its cheaper than Ebay.
Jkho on 05/01/2013 - 03:27

got the email today…

:(
TILL ALL ARE ONE.

Why don't the mods move this to the forums now that it has been confirmed a pricing error and the deal wont be honoured?
- Moderatorscotty on 08/01/2013 - 12:57
  
  Obviously the report was missed. Use TWAM to get more attention from the moderators.
annoynimous on 16/01/2013 - 11:35

as a closing statement,

dodgy move by Amazon, this deal has been going on for days and written on several websites.

pricing errors are meant to be fix within a few hours.
