This guy is just horrible.  Someone I deal with that is on ebay goes by the name of badboymn.  He only had a 3 rating on ebay and now he's got 2 because of this jerk off.  badboymn lives in Canada.  What he purchased was Laserbeaks weapons.  Now being it be laserbeak, how much do you think it would have cost MIB to ship this to Canada?  Maybe 2.00 tops and I know that for a fact!!!  In his ebay auction he stated that it would be an additional 14.00 to ship for international orders. Now is it just me or is Canada not International but Continential? When you see television shows or look at other items, Canada has a bit more shipping then stuff in the states.  My friend was willing to pay 7.00 at least for shipping.  This jackoff wanted 14.00 plus 9.00 for the weapons.  My friend who buys things for his nephew who is sick from cancer could not afford this.  In his ebay auction he did not specify Canadians would have to pay this huge amount.  After he refused he started getting threatening which would be normal.  But then after a while he started to email him with racial slurs against Canada and all other countries other then the United States.  I'm an American and I found him offensive.  Furthermore, he threated to leave
negative feedback and should not pay $27.00!!!!  He mentioned that he should be lucky because laserbeak goes for $40.00 and he was still getting a deal.  Not only that but he forwarded every single email they sent to him. It was rude.  My friend informed me and I looked at Ypsitoys profile on ebay and noticed that he had many negative feedbacks already.  I told him to go ahead and put another negative feedback for him and take the negative feedback from him as ebay users will see how much negative feedback he has and your 1 little negative which albeit might be bad since you only had 3 won't be that bad since he is a bad seller.

I think it's a real shame when someone tries to rip another person off like this.  Not only that but someone showing no remorse whatsoever of a kid dying of cancer.  I know some users on ebay overcharge shipping but not 14.00!!!!  Think about it, Megatron from Japan costs 20.00 to ship to the U.S and Canada.  That's a far, far bigger package and comes from farther away.

These are the two assholes:

Ypsitoys@aol.com
bbowman@htonline.com

They do have a webiste but I don't know what the URL is anymore.
Could care less.

Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Men In Black collectibles are nothing more than a 2 man fraud machine. I STILL feel raped from 1997's Megatron encounter. I had just gotten back on the internet and found T.F.s for the first time. I'll admit I was floored by the prices.... Well they had Megatron. Had the pic showing a complete! Megatron. Everytime I contacted them...it got worse. "We don't have him here at our warehouse." "We don't have the long piece of the silencer" "We're not sure we can send him to you with laws in effect." (U.S. citizen mind you. *rolls eyes*)

FINALLY go ahead and pay 100.00 even to cover ALL charges. "We're sending him this Friday. Thanks." Guess what...they're closed on Fridays. So it was waiting until Monday for them to send it. Nope. Said it'd be next Friday. (CLOSED ON FRIDAY!!!!) The following Wednesday they said "It should've arrived. Hmm. Are you sure you're telling us the complete truth? Hmm? ;-) Come on..."  To make a long story short...I was pissed. Waited 3 1/2 weeks. FINALLY he arrives. I get him out of the shipping box to find he was bought from another store! The idiots forgot to remove their invoice! They paid 60.00, I ended up paying 95.00 for it. (I hate me sometimes.) His condition?
>_<  The pegs near where his "butt" in 'bot mode which hold the legs up during gun mode...broken off, so his legs dangled.  Left arm reglued! All the snap-on accessories were loose as all Hell. Chromewear up the tailpipe. I email them and they have the gall to say "We want that invoice back...immediately! You'll have to pay shipping." I said no way and got a few emails that were pretty rude. 1 contained a BRIEF part of language which I will not repeat here. Anywho....I kept the toy, and the invoice. I went to the postal service to file fraud charges, but they said since I got the item, no dice.
( :p @ the U.S.P.S. )

So overall they were:

Slow
Decieving
Crude
Filthmouthed
Fraudulent

You'd do your best to avoid them. They're nothing but trouble, and theirprices are high as can be. Makes a bad price guide say "GOOD LORD DAT'S A LOT O' MONEY!"

One more thing. Their "warehouse" is actually the second guy's house. I called about a Dinobot from B.W. (I was desperate, so hush. :p) "Loose, missing sword. 55.00, oh God! Hang on! My dishwasher's beeping" right then I knew they lied about it all. I just screamed out an expleitive and hung up.

Avoid them at all costs, you'll only feel terrible and hate yourself in the morning and everyday after.

I'm glad BotCon got rid of those bastards. Heard they tried to sneak into '99s B.C. and got promptly removed by police. Good...I'd reformat them into piles of shit if I could.....
