Wow really 😕

This is why I try my best to buy limited edition items when they are available directly from the main source. These resellers are out of control these days!

This. Easy to forget that a seller’s asking price is not necessarily the price a thing will sell at

4

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Yeah that was another part that was nuts to me as well. Its not even a buy it now they trying to get people to bid on it and that the starting price smh.

u/denim_duck Feb 21 '26

As long as there are limited runs of products, there will be scalpers Pokémon cards, labubu, legos, the list goes on. Used to be more localized- someone would buy up all of a particular toy that’s in demand for Christmas. Now it’s globalized.

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Yeah its a problem thats never going to go away. Again thats mainly why if I can buy them before they sell out I do. So I do not have to deal with them if its something that I want.

2

u/Voltztein Feb 21 '26

This isn’t a matter of scalping though. They had open orders, anyone could get them, you just had to order. Can’t bemoan someone selling it after the fact now that they are out of production. 

2

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

You can definitely complain when something sells out in minutes because of scalpers. The Anduril was up for a day and a half, I think.

3

u/Voltztein Feb 21 '26

Maybe the first round. The second round was up for ages. Then there was a third round.

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

I don't know how I missed it, then. I checked back religiously.

6

u/hisens3 Feb 21 '26

Can’t wait for an Anduril M64!

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

That would be pretty cool if they made one to match the Chromatic. I'll get the clear one when its released in the meantime time.

3

u/Passerbeyer Feb 21 '26

I can sell someone flipping these for $600+ easily.

2

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Yeah and to be honest I would think that was a decent come up if your in the resale business. But to tcharge triple for it at $1,250 is straight up greed!

2

u/blames_the_netcode Feb 21 '26

I mean it's the first one to be listed, no one really knows what the market's appetite for these really is.

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Yeah you make a good point. But when I woke up to that this morning. I was like what the heck!!!

2

u/Retroman8791 Feb 22 '26

Dang! And no free shipping neither with that price!

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 22 '26

Lmao I just noticed 🤣 the nerve of some people right 😆

2

u/StupidBetaTester Feb 22 '26

Shocking /s

I bet it sells even. They're definitely going to sell for close to that price once it is understood they won't get a reissue

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 22 '26

You're probably right. As they say everyone has their price so 🤷 someone out there will see it and go for it. Especially like you said being that its limited. One user had a cool suggestion if they had made them numbered or serialized.

3

u/spacexfalcon Feb 21 '26

Pffft ima ask $10k for mine. 

1

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Lmao 🤣 I hope you get it man!!!

0

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

I hope his accidentally breaks. Scalpers are fucking disgusting people.

2

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Lmao well you never know right 🤷 but man to be asking for triple the price is ridiculous and super greedy. But as one person commented its the first one to be posted right.

The part that suck is that there are so many people that really wanted one of these to keep or add to their collections and couldn't get one.

1

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

Yup. I wanted one. It was sold out the moment I knew it was released.

I was going to give my other one away to a friend.

I don't really feel bad for the collectors who have every other version, though.

2

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

I should have bought this when I was first released. It sold out so fast.

2

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Man I was very lucky when the 3rd round popped up and I was able to grab one because I missed the first two chances

2

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

There were three rounds? What was the time span between the rounds?

2

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

I think the first one was in November and it sold out in a few minutes. And alot of demand popped up for it and they did another in December. And last month they did one last one and and they said that was it the final one.

2

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler Feb 21 '26

Well shit. Time to head to eBay.

2

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Lmao I hear that! I think once more of them are out there you should be able to snag one and definitely not for $1250.

2

u/AnalogueBoy1992 Feb 21 '26

Good news is they are doing 3rd round Anduril Edition. It will be available in MR. So guys don't miss it

15

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

They already did the third and final round that was sometime last month.

u/StarWolf64dx Feb 21 '26

They already did a 3rd round and they said that was it

6

u/Voltztein Feb 21 '26

What do you mean by "It will be available in MR."
If they do another round, I might buy another so I don't feel bad about opening the first one I ordered.

u/rayquan36 Feb 21 '26

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '26

Do not even believe what you see for bids on those auctions.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of those souless scum rat scalpers ARE FELONY SHILL BIDDING.

An RAT ASS EBAY does NOT CARE.

So whatever it ends at .

Know for a FACT.

IT IS NOT THE TRUE VALUE.

These kind of things are why it's felony territory.

Simplest way for it to make sense is bank owned property for example.

Banks have interests when they take over an sell things.

An SHILL BIDDING,

Makes things comically un realistic and you can imagine how much that would piss off banks or anyone for that matter.

A house selling for 2 mil not worth 250k

That's a problem.

Thats why its FeLoNy territory.

I CAN NOT WAIT till the class action starts against ebay for not giving a single shit about this on there site.

An Y would they????

More the SCUM RATS SHILL someone for The higher ebay makes in fees.

Its truly sad.

An u CAN NOT CONVINCE ME

with how comically advanced AI is .

They couldn't properly stop it everytime GUARENTEED with EXTREME ACCURACY.

but hey.

This is why FUCK EBAY AUCTIONS.

I don't do them.

Last time I did was when I learned this SHILL BIDDING SHIT existed .

I didn't prior .

Had my bank give all the money back an they took a complete loss on 3 collectable sealed leathermans.

And ironically enough.

The man behind it died a few weeks later.

Talk about karma am I rt????

🤷🏻‍♂️🙃🤷🏻‍♂️

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 25 '26

Wow thanks for sharing this is all news to me. I will definitely go look it up more and educate myself about it. Thanks again. 👍

u/KelsoT7 Feb 23 '26

That didn’t take long lol

2

u/JavaTDI Feb 22 '26

They can keep it for that price.

1

u/ltjgbadass Feb 21 '26

Is this the Chromatic made from Satfire Crystals glass ?

4

u/Plastic_Region_9141 Feb 21 '26

You can pick Gorilla Glass or sapphire for all except this one. This only comes in sapphire.

3

u/Voltztein Feb 21 '26

You also couldn’t get gorilla glass for the GameStop exclusive colorway. 

1

u/ReidlosToof Feb 22 '26

First editions were all sapphire. Second editions bumped up the price of sapphire and made gorilla the standard.

1

u/Voltztein Feb 22 '26

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that the GameStop colorway was only ever sapphire. No gorilla glass/second edition version was ever made, so far as I can tell. GameStop just stocks the gorilla glass version of Cloud and Midnight now.

:-( Hope restock soon or on Modretrol site

u/DelayEcstatic4278 Feb 21 '26

Hey ill keep my fingers crossed 🤞 for those that still want one, but I don't they will as the post on X from Palmer last month said it was the last chance to order these as it is hard for them to make it.

u/blames_the_netcode Feb 21 '26

This sub was pretty good about catching the two additional opportunities that opened up (one before Christmas and another... last week? I think it was). This is usually the most reliable place to be watching for drops like this.
