I ordered like over £100 worth of stuff I'm sure alot of people did with all the new stuff out. Were you told the price went up on your order acknowledgement? Cos' it's £15 mine. Maybe I'll get another letter.

i thought 2 figures for the price of one had something wrong??? i expected this. but not illegal. maybe it was cinequest (or whatever company) has raised the price. but i still think £19.99 is alright? for 2 figures which is usally another £1o. anyone else agree with me?

Well I’ve confirmed my orders and even though I haven’t received the letter my 2 Pack price was raised, so I ended up canceling it and probably buy it from a US store. But fortunately, Anyanka is still £10.99.

what did you get?
and i think it's fine for them to do this, it's not their fault if the price of the figure is changed. besides, it's not like it's changed by a ridiculous amount, it's only a fiver.

I dont see whats not ok about them doing this I think thats slighlty out of order for you to 'complain' anyway, its not as if they've put £30 on top of the £14.99 I think £19.99 is a VERY reasonable price...Anyone disagree?

i agree vamp. i expected this set to be at LEAST £30. I was surprised when it said £15, and i'm still surprised now that it's £20. It's a very good price.

how many times have i said ITS NOT THE FIVER! ITS THE PRINCIPLE OF IT ALL!!!!
Its with your whole "only a fiver" attitudes that they get away with this
I mean I would have happily paid £50 for Anya figures ... but that doesnt mean Im gonna give them it if they just have a change of heart and put up the price
how would you like it if you went into a shop and picked something up for £15 and went to the till and they said "actually we've decided to charge you £20 instead", would you be so "its only a fiver and I want it anyway" then?
VampSpike how DARE you say its out of order for me to complain!!!! WHO DO U THINK U R!?!?!? I know my rights as a consumer. And telling me "as if you complained". of course I did!!! i mean i had to send them the extra fiver so what you think it killed me to include a note saying I wasnt happy (as well as a scan out of my law text book saying it was illegal)
Afer what are you saying its not illegal for? IT BLOOMIN WELL IS!!!!! I am a law student I know laws regarding promoting items at a price and then asking for me.
In fact when Forbidden Planet phoned me to discuss they knew this too!! and gave me the whole explaination story.
Oh well when I am enjoying my great free rare gift from them and you are all sitting on this board talking about how youll gladly be ripped off Ill be the one smiling
im not visiting this board anymore with people like you lot on it. how dare u all criticise me.

When you examine the whole situation, it really isn't the money that's the problem...it's the principle of the situation.
BFM had ordered his W/T Two-Pack having a set amount he would have to pay. He shouldn't have to go beyond that set amount because Forbidden Planet raised their price. Forbidden Planet's price raise was their decision...not BFM's. He didn't agree to pay the extra money if/when the prices of his ordered figure set went up.
BFM deserves the W/T Two-Pack for the amount of money he originally paid. He shouldn't be forced to cough up the extra cash to pay more for the figures he already ordered.
Who cares whether it's legal or not. It's morally wrong...period.

fair enough then, but i still disagree. its not FP's fault that the price of the item was changed, and i see no problem with them doing this.
that's my opinion anyways.

I pre-ordered the Willow/Tara 2-Pack the day they went up on Forbidden Planet's website. As of yet, i haven't received a letter advising me of the price increase. I really don't mind if i'm asked to pay the extra £5. I was suspicious about only having to pay £14.99 for 2 figures, and then when the images of Willow hadn't been released, i thought "Oh the Willow figure mustn't be great etc..." Luckily i was wrong & both figures are terrific looking. In my opinion, £19.99 is still a good deal for a 2-Pack of figures.

Actually, I think that bunniesfrightenme is talking absolute rubbish. If you order goods on the internet and the price increases you can exericse your to cancel the order if you don't want to pay the higher price. Even if you take an item to the counter in a shop and the price that rings up on the cash till is higher than the price on the item, it's only a good will gesture by the shop if they sell it too you at the lower price - perhaps good customer relations, but they aren't obliged to! It's not illegal to increase prices on goods. We live in a free market ecomony after all. Sorry for being dull, but I hate it when people spout out the "truth" when it's obvious they don't know the first thing! BTW, I still think £20's a steal for the UK!

As for bunniesfrightenme..... I think you'll find if you read the Forbidden Planet magazine you'll see it'll say something about 'pre-orders' in the small print (along with the sentence about prices are not final etc....). And as your a 'law student' i would of thought you would have looked straight there. So you basically moaned, thats what you did, dont give me this crap about 'principles', I hope you enjoy your free gift

It's not principals at all. Forbidden Planet said that was the price because it is what they were originally told by Diamond / Cinquest or whoever, they were told that it was the proper price - it is in no way their fault.

yep exactly. and vamps right, it does say that in the catalogue. anyway, if you weren't happy with the price increase, you could have just cancelled the order. but lets not get into a big argument
