Wow!

This seems quick for MMC, doesn't it? I just got the 10-day letter from BBTS saying Cynicus will be processing soon. Now I get to see if I want the rest of the DJD....

Received email from BBTS that the figure came in and processed and in my POL. It's listed as "Sold Out" on the web site.

I got it too. If it sold out this quick, I'm glad I jumped on it. I'm shocked though.

Pay to play, is also a sports game gambling or stock trading term. As long as you pay to play, you can keep gambling or keep trading. to win money.

Please, if your going to use a term phase hundreds of times a year. Please go to Wiki and research what it properly means.

No, he was completely right in using it. From your own example "Pay to play, sometimes pay for play, is a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage (play) in certain activities."

The privilege to engage in certain activities. Transformers collecting is indeed an activity.

Thank you. You nailed it spot on. Transformer collecting is definitely an activity we all engage in. And in todays economy, being able to afford third party prices is definitely a privilege.
