I guess secondary market it is.

Are these bots who flip or legitimate fans buying them all out (all 3 prints gone)?

Update: I just saw a listing on Ebay a few minutes later for $449.99 Buy it Now (variant version) - at least the seller offered free shipping.
Wait for the APs before going to secondary market.

BNG actively targets flippers after a drop and cancels their orders. See here: https://twitter.com/bottlenecknyc/st...710161922?s=21

Is that in their sale terms? Otherwise not sure that would be legal for them to do.

Probably is; they’ve also been doing it for a while with no challenges. Flippers are too broke to go to court.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Wow, good on them. I wish Mondo would do the same. Most of my prints are purchased from Bottleneck.

I remember reading a story a while back about garage sales and how some companies want to figure out how to bypass consumer rights control their products past the original purchase so you can't resell them, you basically are only purchasing a "license to use" or something like that. I don't remember the specific details, but it was pretty scary for the consumer to have companies trying to get that kind of control over your stuff after it's "yours".

I don't mind these companies canceling large orders with obvious intent to resell, but it gets tricky when you are this micro controlling.

Production photos of Prime 1's Rotunda Rex are out. While it looks excellent and they even made the tacky nameplate optional, somehow Chronicle's version still charms me more. I think it's the simpler presentation and the fact that the base is smaller in relation to the dinosaur, which makes the dinosaur appear bigger.

Looking forward to seeing how this one turned out. Hope it's good.

If you do indeed complete the transaction and receive it, please post photos! I know you will, but just thought I'd ask to be sure
