However, I don't think they interest me nearly enough to be worth convention set prices. If they were released as regular figures, at regular prices, my opinion might be different.

For me, I don't mind paying large amounts of cash on figures I feel are worth it. Henkei Thundercracker was well worth $80 IMO, however, any figure from this set does not look worth $80. They're still good figures, just not that good.


Understandable.

I predict these price ranges for the figures post convention:

Thunderclash: $80
Scourge: $100
Kupp: $100
Flak: $100
Landshark: $75

The figures cost $59 a piece if you spilt the $295 cost up by five.

Then again, for all the people complaining about price and the comparisons to Henkei exclusives...$59 for any one of those exclusives is pretty darn good...

I might try and pick up Flak and Scourge after the convention.

But I don't really need the full set.

It's hard to say what the average person is going to do, but once a lot of collectors get one figure from a set then they start gobbling them all up.

Tehan again, you have the 2005 set where that never really happened.

I just want to see Ebay in June and July :)

Ugly...

That's what I don't get.

All of these figures are at the very least, well decoed. How exactly, is Flak an ugly figure?


I don't know if we're looking at the same image, but like someone just said "to each their own". For all those that desire them take'em away!! B-)
