New Variant Ratios on TFAW

I think there was an email from TFAW about new pricing - cant remember if its preFOC or post-FOC.

Yup just searched and found it. Started 4/18. The ratios they drop ON FOC technically arent POST FOC so they really shouldn’t apply… Right?

Its up to TFAW. I think they have been charging more for some of the high spec variants. Still better than many other places IF you can get them.

On FOC for Tfaw is Post-FOC. The pre-FOC prices lock at 12 am Oregon time (PST ?) the day of FOC.

Yeah… I tried to PRE-ORDER for $2.79

Yeah it won’t allow it!

So this is the end of Tfaw this book was priced normal discount $17.50 earlier today and now it looks like TFAW is a speculator and repriced the book $59.99 for Sunday for all you to be gouged. I’ve been using Tfaw for 3 years and it’s no longer cost effective I can buy things cheaper at half a dozen other places and with free shipping lol.

My drops

Dc up

All have been out since Friday, only cart drops today.

There can’t be DC cart drops on a Sunday

This was available as a preorder more than a week ago. As you pointed out, TFAW had adjusted the price, pre-FOC. Would have been locked today at 2.01 am CST (FOC 05/01). Maybe TFAW had an additional copy listed but someone could have dropped it prior to the time above so that it becomes available today. Too high for me !

Any other new books ?

They will lose people in DROVES if they’re going to jack up books 250% like they were some shady LCS.

Just grabbed these. I’m at work and I’ve been checking since 11pm.

I stopped buying variants and ratios from TFAW awhile ago. Once prices crept up I quit. Stick to cover A is my mantra.

Since when do they charge over ratio? Getting greedy.

The gi joe 293 was most likely my drop. Glad to see someone on the forum was able to grab it.

I still pay attention to the variants, IF I can get them; the prices are still better than other retailers, for most variants. Just have to be prepared to get them late, for sure, or not at all, or damaged, like all online retailers.
