Classics in Belgium, Europe! But they don't come cheap...

Classics in Belgium, Europe! But they don't come cheap...

Postby Chronic Tronic » Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:00 pm

I don't think this has been covered before, but if so, I apologize.

To my surprise I discovered 3 different TF Classics in stores in and around Antwerp the past week, Jetfire, Mirage, and Astrotrain. I bought the first 2.

Mirage came with a "free dvd", but at €19.99 (that's a staggering 27 dollars!!), I couldn't help but feel ripped off. I had to have him though.
I saw Astrotrain in that store too (at "Fun", near Merksem and Schoten, for those few Belgian board members.)

Jetfire set me back another 20 euros, at Bart Smit, downtown Anterp (Eiermarkt, again, for those rare Belgian readers).

Notice the difference in the packaging. We don't get stats or a bio :-(

I would assume so.

Mirage rocks :)

So this hasn't been covered before then?

Those boxes, do suck, sorry bout that, at least you found the figures that is the important thing, but geez, that box looks like it is a knockoff that just copied the images.

Hopefully, in the U.S. we will not start making toys any more then bi-lingual boxes, and end up with crazy things like that.

I feel for you though I like to keep the bios and such as well.

I thought this would have been news or something...

Did I miss previous Belgian sightings?

Those are expensive for what they are. I'd expect to pay 19.99 for Jetfire, but not Mirage. Mirage near me costs only 9.99

Welcome to my life :-(

They are pretty expensive in Denmark too ...

Deluxe = 150-180 kroner
Ultimate Battle with NO dvd !!! = 300-320 kroner
Voyager = 300-350 kroner

......

now let me explain the valuta, ( 100 kroner = 18$ )

I didn't bought the silly ultimate battle pack without dvd, i ordered my set from bbst too a FAIR price infront of these !

Enjoy Belgium

And just one more thing that I noticed. I understand packaging has to be changed for the sake of translations. Hence the big block of flags and that nations language next to it instead of the bio and back stories and whatnot...

but in doing so, don't you think they'd remove the numbers and lines that show points of intrest as the listing of these points now seem gone?

Bi-lingual boxes suck. They ruin modern day figures, they ruin reissues. Half of my reissues are European, and they have about 7 words in every language imaginable.

My other reissues are American Imports. They look lovely. All of them have their bios on, and really feel better quality than the crap Hasblo UK give us.

No biggie :)

I just assumed someone already reported Belgian sightings, and that I'd missed those.

Good news either way!

I'm hoping for more of them, especially Grimlock and Bumblebee.
