I think this is the listing *with* the book. I'm not sure BBTS was ready for us to news this yet.

I got mine preordered.

Pricey, but worth it.

Yup, same here... Pre-ordered, but pricey. I'm gonna have to keep that PoL simmering for a couple of months longer, even though it contains Generations Warpath, Thundercracker, Wheeljack and FP Warcry and Flameblast :)

I hope so. The book would be cool and all, but 120 is way, way too much for my TF fund. I understand the cost it takes for BBTS to get these, but damn.

Yeeeaaaah... I'm definitely gonna have to say it's not worth $120, unless you're rich and $120 is pocket change to you.

It's a great figure, but not $120 great.

Actually, if Hasbro only do one repaint of Jazz I think I'd rather it was Dead End.

Given the fact that I'm now in grad school and facing a mountain of debt, I will have to settle for living vicariously through other people's collections.

You don't have to be rich to drop $120 on a Transformer. I'm certainly not "rich" by any definition, and I've spent more than that on a single toy while living on a modest newspaper salary.

Well, you are right; you don't have to be rich to spend $120 on a single toy, but the idea just seems a little less appealing when you're not. For me, that's pretty much my whole "Fun Budget" for over a month, and there are a lot of other things I could spend my money on instead.

That said, I REALLY wish I had the cash to get this guy, book or not! Maybe I can set up a payment plan with BBTS or something?

Holy freakin' crap!!! :shock: I can't believe what they are asking for this TF. Yeah he looks great don't get me wrong there but how much again?? Now if he were a set including a repaint of another figure then yeah I could spend that much. Gundam...and people were beefing over the cost of United figures. Well how about this one seibertronians...'nuff said! :CON:

Skids and Screech were $70 each.

Electro Mirage was originally $90.

Yup, just like I said earlier, it's the FP Cliffjumper head dilemma all over again.

When those toys came with books, they were about the same price. BBTS: Mirage + book. I'm assuming that Stepper will come with some publication as well.

Yikes, that's a bit more of a gouge than I was expecting having had ED Ligier and Ghost Starscream from BBTS at 90 a pop. Got my preorder in, but if this does turn out to be with the book and the toy is listed on it's own later at a better price I'll cancel and swap then. Going to be a while before these hit in any case and I should have built up quite a bit to ship together by then. This is probably going to be my 'time to move the loot' figure for this summer.

Oof! I really want this figure but not sure I want to fork out $120 for him. Anyone of the opinion I should do it anyways?

Oh, wait $120 is the real price?
Re: BBTS pre-order for Million Publishing United Stepper (1212125)
Posted by Blurrz on April 21st, 2011 @ 6:49pm CDT
EG Optimus Prime was $110 on BBTS. I know it's a Voyager.. but.. times change, and the US Dollar is much weaker than it used to be. I might only be a few cents or so, but still that's quite alot and add inflation + the demand, a price tag of $120 is pretty respectable considering some of the other Tak exclusives we've seen.

However, it's a bit of an outrage for a Deluxe, considering Ani Black Rodimus is $85 and EG Prowl is $100. And I don't exactly think that Nebulon/Nightstick is worth $30 more. Oh well.. you gotta pay to play these days.

at 120 dollars with a movie line and other 3rd party goodies(causality) id say its possible and likely. i still cant get over 120 dollars for a deluxe thats just 8-}

Yeah I would just commission Frenzy rumble or someone else to do this mold for me..$120? Pffft I'd rather buy socom and mortal kombat :P

Both of the figures that have had huge prices cuts are Strafe and DS. Stepper is not comparable to Gentei Strafe or Gentei Dark Skyfire. Strafe used the Cyclonus mold, where in many fans just felt that it didn't capture the character.. even though the comic did help, and the figure is freaking sweet with the Gold targetmaster. Dark Skyfire was wicked, but at the same time, many fans didn't feel it was all too good as it was just a reiteration of a character and wasn't required. However, Stepper's character is someone who hasn't had a Classics-verse reiteration and just check out the board support for this figure, it's crazy.

For those worried about the price, keep on mind that...

Entirely possible, but in this case I'd rather know that I've got one coming than wait it out for the sake of 20 or 30 dollars, hell that ain't even a good night's drinking.

I was once so naive, but it takes experience to be more sophisticated with raw dawggin selection. Until then, feast your eyes on a real sexy bitch:

If Hasbro really does decide to make Stepper, Nightstidck/Nebulon will probably be left out since he's gangmolded with U-Cyclonus. Look at BiS Cyclonus, Nightstick has the same shade of purple as Cyclonus on the feet and waist joint.

Posted by Nekoman on April 22nd, 2011 @ 11:22am CDT
It's cool, but for $120 (which is reasonable) I'd rather have something else that I don't think Hasbro will make. I'll probably pass unless I find it significantly cheaper.

It'd be neat if TFC made stuff like this easier to get for US folks, maybe have their own production run with a unique box and art.

Agreed, I'm Jazz got the Bling, then Stepper is the one that SELLS the Bling to jazz.

In retrospect, not as much sense as it made in my head

Good idea, might make Strafe worth buying now.
