I'd be happy with a proper Classics Shockwave

Soundwave and Shockwave? Did I miss something??

In response to Mkall's comment, I actually teach a finance course for a large global corporation so I understand business in today's global economy. However, in tough economic times, you've got to be sensitive to the customer lest they go somewhere else. Companies have to weigh their margins versus customer perceptions.

Not to mention, based on what we've seen for some other recent pre-orders, they are typically the most expensive. I wouldn't expect this to be any different.

I want to remain a customer of BBTS, I just don't want to feel like I'm getting ripped off.

man, i love that shockwave...i'm just not sure i love it enough to pay 160 bucks for a glorified action master.

That's what I'm hoping for really. I don't care if they'll be Dirge and Thrust. I just want those new molded wings. I'll probably still pick up the order, but I'm hoping Hasbro will make use of them somehow as Dirge n Thrust or as new characters.

BBTS is too rich for my blood.When Nov 13th rolls around and these go up for pre-order at Gambo store I will use Rinkya to get my figs.I used them to get 3 Henkei Thundercracker figs and only paid $38.00 a piece for them(shipping included).BBTS is charging $75.00 for one + shipping?No thanks. Yeah they are ripping people off there,sorry.I know they are in business to make money,and I use them frequently.......but they are more than doubling their money on these figs.I am sure they get a bulk discount which would drop the price below the $38.00 that I paid.Here is my Rinkya invoice as proof:
