Prime looks good in that box.

I have enough Movie Primes so it is a pass, and that price point only makes it that much easier to say.

Should I change my mind, I'll take my chances with retail at $20

Hmmm.. 50 dollars for a 20 dollar toy , or
66 dollars for Leader Megs and Brawl as a clearance set.
Decisions, decisions.

Then again with shipping it's about the same as retail. Although,
for people who've had a hard time finding either it is a good deal.

Eh. Not really all that impressive, Prime looks good, but both will be a pass since BBTS is way too overpriced.

not that interesting, time to pass and save some $$ for upcoming Classics 2.0

Why is BBTS so ridiculously overpriced? $50 for a $20 figure? $28 for a $10 figure? I'm pretty sure I'd be able to get these same figures a lot cheaper on eBay, if I wanted them.

Not big into battle damage.

If I was I'd custom that myself.

Ok, so now battle damaged repaints count as 'premium' as well? :shock:

I'm sure it was posted somewhere, but where do these repaints come from? As in to say, which stores will be running these as exclusives?

Obviously, not Target since they should already be going with Deep Space SS.

I'm not a big fan of the whole battle damaged look. I prefer my TFs to be pristine, even though most paint apps you find in stores are anything but perfect. And, besides, even if I did want these, I wouldn't get them off BBTS. Too overpriced.
