I mean, I already had shelf-canon in mind for the Bay-head dinos so it's not that bad but those G1 heads look sooo good. Bums me out.

At least the deco on the sdcc set is better than these generations dinos. So you still have some nice quality figures and at the prices they have been going for on e-bay, that set probably cost you less than this set would cost (with one toy less of course).

william-james88 wrote:Finally, Platinum Trypticon is now available at its exclusive retailer, Amazon.com. Oddly enough this happens to coincide with the exact day that he is removed from Amazon.ca, making it seem like this is an inventory transfer. While the retail price is now confirmed to be 169.99$ US, Amazon is selling it currently at 163.32$. This is the cheapest price he has ever been offered at for American fans, are any of you getting him?

I was so confused by that at first thinking Trypticon turned into a mamoth (as in the prehistoric animal) in that series(I never read war within)

RAR wrote:I like Scavenger in pre-Earth form - that would certainly make a nice change from all the Earth mode Contructicons - perhaps this would work nicely in the smaller 3rd party sizes too since they contain a fair amount of pre-earth modes.
I like Pre-Earth Modes a lot but I never know what the consensus is about what people like best Organic or Mechaniocal Animals, Modern Vehicles, 80's retro vehicles, Pre-earth Modes or whatever.
Personally I have no specific preference and just like what looks nice or seems 'fresh'.

I totally get why he may be too pricey for some people. But compared to the market, he is technically worth a bit more than that actually. He was selling at TFsource for 199$ and completely sold out. http://tfsource.com/platinum/trypticon/
So anyone getting him here is getting it at a discount compared to market price. If he sold out at tfsource, I highly doubt he wont sell out when he is worth less. Platinum Blaster and Perceptor are already sold out at their exclusive outlet (target) so it seems this year there is a huge interest for rereleases. I, like you, was waiting for the price to drop on amazon.ca (it was at 173$, so comparative economy wise) and it just went away.
All I mean is people are buying him at more than this already so I expect him to sell like hot cakes at this price. And it can ship worldwide so everyone who wants one (like Japan who is only getting a few of these) can now get him for the cheapest price possible. So be sure that you dont regret it if he sells out before reaching the price you would preffer.

nycPrime wrote: I could be wrong but there doesn't seem to be that much interest in this figure at this price point because: 1) it's been available from a 3P seller on Amazon for $200 for a while now, which isn't that much more than retail price, and 2) it's still available from BBTS and Amazon for approximately the same price.
Kind of hoping for a good deal during Black Friday/Cyber Monday like how the tripe changer set went for $50 during Prime Day.
Fingers crossed.

Here's SDCC 2009 Ratbat from the site galleries (though this is a sticker, you'll get the point):

Lastly, a note on Platinum Steeljaw's weapons. They actually have the chrome stop to allow for a nice, smooth connection to the body of the tape. This is awesome! This same feature disappointingly doesn't carry over to Ramhorn's weapons. I can't find myself lamenting Eject's guns being all chrome, since like most versions of the mold they don't stay in all that well anyhow.
So hope that helps any cassette collectors still on the fence with this one. There is one real, actual variant in here in Eject. Can't believe it took it being "in hand" for me to catch that!
