Ouch, Amazon is the expensive way ... unless you were patient and waited for the occasional good deal. I've been looking for months ... not many deals.

The only way I would buy from them is if Amazon was actually selling the toy ... and not some affiliated store that's gonna charge you out the ass for shipping.

I find Amazon affiliated stores do nothing but price gouge TF's.

Then, you have some ebay schmucks selling Binals for a decent price with "non specified" shipping charges. Yeah, you might want to watch out for that scam.

Or they charge $15 for the figures, but $50 for shipping.

Any newbs should really watch out for these typical scams.

I have about 5 different sites that I still find Binaltechs for reasonable prices. The rare stuff I have to get on ebay though.

I only need 2 more BT's, then I'm complete. It's been a rough journey ... I just started collecting them in July.

Good luck to all!

which ones do you need? where do you get yours? I mentioned in another post that I am lacking only 3 Autobots of the entire Alt/BT line.

you can pick up binaltechs lambor, dead end and swindle at gundamstoreandmore.com

$56 a pc.

Broadblast. Go to toysnjoys.com. they have lots of goodies there, but most are overpriced. Also, red meister(zoom zoom) for $100 there. Not too bad.

Grimlock - ebay. His BIN's are much more reasonable than WJ's.

Swerve. Try to find him loose on ebay. BIN w/ make an offer option. Depending on condition ... you can score him from 75-100 bucks plus shipping.

Laserwave. I can find him for you if you're interested. $75 in an ebay store that I have bookmarked at my work computer.

I'm not sure what level of completion you're looking to get to, but there's damn near 40 of these things.

I need:

- wonderfest black convoy
- decepticharge
- binaltech skids

I would also like a binaltech version of wheeljack, but his MISB prices have not been reasonable on ebay.

You can see my full collection in the other thread. I posted right after you did.

Are you selling?

My region of the world is relatively small in terms of population (~90,000) so I doubt that they will put Alternators on the shelves.

I live in Southern Oregon, which has 8 towns that add up to the 90,000 people. I used to live in places that had more people.

I probably will not sell my Alt/BT collection...in another thread, I listed all of the ones that I have.

I was just at my Walmart last night and they had several alternators including Tracks, Ricochet, Swindle, Skids, Rollbar, Sunstreaker, Optimus Prime, and Shockblast. The've been carrying them on a regular basis for the last 2 months here, and it's not for a lack of transformers to sell either, as they have plenty of classics, and movie figures, as well as a few cybertron figures. :grin:
