Still hope official MP comes out, but then again I also hoped since I first collecting!

And, of course, TFSource offers free shipping on orders over $150! So Giant could be yours for about $380!
Of course, Rodimus Prime seems to have decided on Hercules, and TFSource is asking about $520 for that set (and another $50 for the Rage kit) so not as nice as the place Gauntlet101010 is recommending. I love free shipping, and if god forbid anything goes wrong, TFSource does also have excellent customer service, but unless the place Gauntlet101010 suggested charges over $100 for shipping, you'd obviously be spending a lot less there.
Actually, looking at the place Gauntlet101010 recommended, I see they also have an offer of all six figures plus the Rage kit for only $20 more then without the Rage kit. With that, plus $50 shipping... For what these figures plus the rage kit normally go for, $470 shipped doesn't seem a bad deal.
Rodimus Prime, I still like Giant better, but even I'd be a fool not to say that if you've decided on Herc, you should buy it now before this price goes away!

I noticed BBTS has SG Herc (Perseus) with Rage addon for $450+ 16.xx Shipping for a total of $460ish shipped. Though the item is sub standard condition. If anyone has bought substandard, how banged up is it all? So I guess if you really want Herc and can live with the SG variant, this is even cheaper than chimungmung.
Anyone have other reliable/good store recommendations?
Robotkingdom has herc for $450 + at least $60 in shipping
Ages3andup has Herc for $600 + $45 for Rage addon and has Giant for $400 (Yellow) $450 (green)
I'm just looking at starting my combiner collection while maximizing my funds right now.

A quick check of eBay shows Giant for insane prices, well over what he goes for in stores that still offer him. Hercules looks like he can be found for a little cheaper, but for about the same price as stores that still have him. If this is the case, I think people would be better off going through reputable stores rather then hitting up the secondary market where you take your chances with the seller you're dealing with.

And all of the auctions you posted are ended, most of them around a month ago with at least one over two months ago. Probably why none of them showed up on my search.
Such prices may have once existed, but prices fluctuate greatly on the secondary market. They don't seem to exist now and there is no guarantee they will do so again in the future, certainly not with great frequency. You may see an occasional auction for a good deal from someone looking to unload it quick, but I expect that will be the exception rather then the rule. And more likely then not, they will be used versions, which could be stressed in ways you'll have no way of knowing about until you have it in hand. There are some things out there I can buy used with confidence, potentially fragile third party Transformers are not one of them if there is still an option to buy it new for close to the original retail.
Right now, you're better going with some of the more reputable stores, especially as protection against any potential defects where someplace like BBTS or TFSource will be able to replace or refund you, where as an eBay seller is just as likely to keep your money and say, "Well, sold as it. Not my problem."
This is especially a concern for people after Hercules. If buying from the secondary market, for all you know it could be old stock from when there were known defects, and you won't have a way to get the fixed replacement parts.
