I wasnt surprised to see G2 Ramjet on e-bay. But in retail ??? After it was sold out the first day TFCC put up the pre-order ??? TFCC should really do a better job of weeding out scalpers. Maybe just limit selling one of each figure per member. Anyways, Im glad I got mine.

Agreed, this is just ridiculous, sadly I was one of those that didn't get a ramjet. Its very unsettling to know that Tfsource managed to buy up a good number of the figures without the club doing anything about it.
The club really should counter this by opening a second pre-order. Although it does not look like they can. Perhaps in the future they should make the preorder 1 per account, at least for a few days, so that everyone has a chance to get one like they should be able to.
My advice is to not buy these from tfsource. Maybe if they keep them a good while it will detour them from trying more petty scalping tactics in the future. Its bad enough that some members are buying additional figures and scalping them off, let alone with big shops swooping in and making it worse.

What was the original price of the G2 Ramjet fig from the TFCC? I missed out the first time around but I dont think the price was $100. The price of this guy is going to go through the roof on the secondary market.
