I thought I'd update those of you who are after the Visual Works Exclusive Green Ratchet and do not want to pay out $150 for one that seller Hydra AKA Black Gears is offering the figure for $99.99. Here's what Hydra had to say
Emergency Green Ratchet:
I am offering the toy at $99.99 each, $50 less than online retailers, and a very competitive price considering the cost to obtain the item. Shipping to USA, Europe and Asia via EMS
will be $18 for the first and $7 more for each additional figure
ordered. This the cost of one would be $99.99 plus $18, two would be $199.98
plus $25, so on. At this point I have enough order forms available to fill numerous orders so I am not imposing a per-customer-limit.
However, I only plan to accept pre-orders through the end of this month, so it would be in everyone's best interest to put your order in ahead
of time. I absolutely guarantee support for all orders placed, although if my stock of the item sells out I may have to discontinue orders
earlier than planned. The item will be shipped out promptly when it is released in April. All those who preorder from me will also receive a
Japanese KitKat bar, although I don't expect that to be the deciding
factor
in anyone's order.
