JB0 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 As of this moment, the link is active and says "only seven left". I'd poke it, but I never bought an Alpha, and the Tread by itself is just kinda ugly. I think Toynk Toys is probably pleased at the success of their clearance sale, and highly unaware of what they could've gotten for these things on eBay.

slaginpit Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think the only way we are going to get a decent Alpha and Tread is if its done by 3rd party. I mean look at some of the most complex transformations IE Megatron, Op, and many others are done so well by Maketoys and others. This is BS how hard can it be to transform a jet whose legs are its intakes and arms missle pods. Good God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 You might want to check your garbage can. Well I know it IS stored with other garbage figures like the old Banprestos and some other Toynami junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well, I'll be a monkey's brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate... I actually got a shipping notification with a tracking number and everything; estimated to arrive 8/29. BEST ... DEAL ... EVAH ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSenpai Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Wow, I actually clicked on the link when it was still in stock but figured they would never actually ship those for that much. Maybe some of you that bought multiples can spread some of the love around here? ;-) Even with a small markup to cover original shipping and some profit, it's still way cheaper than anywhere else online.

505thAirborne Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 There are a few more of those Betas left, hussle up if you want one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yeah, either they keep finding more, or payments are failing and they go back to stock. Two left right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 WOOOW!!! if you guys got that for $4, I'm just gonna say good job!!! I have all 3 and paid about $70-$80 a piece back in the day. They aren't bad toys. Best Beta/Tread we're likely to see IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 dammit. Missed again! Keep checking that link, so far it's been updated three times with at least 10 Betas added. Good hunting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glane21 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My shipment of 7 betas should be here Monday . But I see in the tracking that they were shipped via Parcel Select Lightweight. 7 betas would require a big ass heavy box... So I'm getting dubious. We'll see.

SuperSenpai Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I searched for Toynk and found their website. They are selling the beta on their own site as well... but for a lot more: http://www.toynk.com/robotech-new-generation-beta-fighter-mpc-volume-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Damn. Walmart keeps redirecting me to the Mexican site because of my IP. I can't get into the US site no matter what. Edit: I got in, but I couldn't find the listing. Just a sold out blue one that went for $130.

SuperHobo Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It probably would have been easier for ToyNK just to cancel all orders than to go through the headache of all of the returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
