Wrestling Trader sold-out in like 3 minutes  They even limited it to 3 per customer and still went that quick. |

Cheers mate, I've literally only just got back from work so I missed out on this and I'm absolutely gutted. No idea why they didn't just do a proper run on this as it would clearly sell. I've been going on about a Hayabusa variant for months now 🤷 I really really need that blue attire. |

Wrestling Trader sold-out in like 3 minutes They even limited it to 3 per customer and still went that quick. I said a few pages back that they could repaint Hayabusa a dozen times and I'd buy them all, and I meant it. I'm devastated that I couldn't grab one but hopefully there'll be another opportunity. |

There was talk in a Facebook group that scalpers were ordering dozens and that’s why it sold-out instantly, but not sure how that marries-up with this announcement of another run - surely having set the 3 per customer limit then they’d just cancel the scalper orders and announce those ones would be going-up again? Anyway FC still had it in stock a little while ago, but the shipping from the US obviously makes it tough to go there. Trader did have some damaged figures that lasted a little bit longer as well so I grabbed them (having had my regular order declared ‘out-of-stock’ at the last possible second…!) - hopefully they’re not too bad, but as a MOC guy then it’s a bad situation all round. |

It's despicable, but it's the nature of the game now, there's some sad bastards out there. I'm glad you managed to snag one, even if it's loose, but yeah that's pretty shoddy if you're moc collector. Hopefully we'll get a date for the restock soon, and hopefully they anticipate a lot of buyers and make sure there's enough to go around, which would hopefully put a dent in those scalpers' profits. |

I was holding off on it because of the $40 price point but FOMO got the best of me. I just ordered one

But I salute you, sir, you only live once 😄 I'm gonna chance waiting for the time being. If they release a white variant tomorrow then I'm gonna go full Michael Douglas in Falling Down. 👀 |

I only had Dynamite Kid from Chella, and honestly, I was so disappointed with it, I refrained from ordering any others…then I get to see a Hayabusa (red) in person and am kicking myself I couldn’t order one as it’s sold out and been doing 60-90 on the secondary market…today’s announcement/release was such an awesome surprise, not that I wanted to spend $40. right now, but I had to, he looks great in blue and the cardback is a nice touch…

Yes. When I saw that it was already sold out, I decided not to bother and just buy it from FC. 40 per figure, 45 for postage. So for two figures I am in for 125 + 19% taxes. Better not think too much about it. |

I can't wait for my two Dynamites, tbh, looking forward to them. Personally, I hope they put out a few different Hayabusas in different colours, but that's just me 😄 |

Better not think too much about it. That's the only way to look at it, lol. Try not to think about it too much, but yeah, the shipping is hefty. |

That looks really good. Very close/almost exact to what the old Hasbro's looked like. I hope some of the other figures that they have coming up look this good. |

I sold my Adam Bomb yesterday. No way was the bubble staying on to be displayed MOC, just sold it at cost plus shipping. A bit gutted as I was really looking forward to this one, but I'm hoping the Glow in the Dark Variant will have the bubble issue sorted and I'll get that one.
