We recently heard from Ron and Pat from Jay-Ron Raceway Collectibles in Riverside, Rhode Island on a sale for consumers that Dynamic Forces is running on its Website.

 

In a move that makes no sense, Dynamic Forces offered a program to its retail customers on line that offered them resin statues at half price, which is well below our cost.  After selling a pair of statues to a customer, Spider-Man and Green Goblin, the customer came in and cancelled his layaway because the retail price was $99.99 each and he could buy them for $49.99 each on line.  Our cost was $64.99 each.  Because of this he also cancelled all other statues he had ordered from us.  Now Dynamic Forces is offering other statues on line at half price that we are still paying full price for.  Retailers are getting the short end of the stick here.  Retailers should fight back and boycott them.  We intend to. 

 

We contacted Dynamic Forces and got this response from Nick Barucci and Joe Rybandt:

 

February is the 10th anniversary of DF and we're having our first ever sale. We're adding 10 items a week to the site, at a discount -- 40 items total for the month. We are not adding additional discounts to these items; selection is random.  Before anyone talks of a boycott, I would hope that we could discuss middle ground with those that feel hurt by this first ever sale at the DF site.  If retailers are currently stuck with a new item that we're offering to celebrate our 10th Anniversary, such as the Spider-Man and Green Goblin bust, then we will be happy to trade them the items for in-stock DF items.  They can drop a line to Joe at joer@dynamicforces.com and he can respond to them and see what they want to trade.  We'll do it MSRP against MSRP - so we'll trade them for $99.99 for any busts that they return.
