I do have a God Fire Convoy so the Blue would just go to him. But would it be a bit much? Decisions decisions. With Botcon right around the corner, do I really wanna blow 150 on swords?

I am trying to find the ??? one right now. I'll let you know when I find it, and I will!!!

Just ask the guy who sells them on eBay. There is a yellow circular sticer on the side of the box that marks which color it is.

You just have to ask him for the "SECRET!" color if he has it.

But three is a bit much. Two is about right, IMHO.

I agree. 2 would be perfect. However, 2 will cost me just 8 dollars less than3. Eh, maybe ill just grab the lot of 3, and put the silver one on Carbomya for 50.

For some reason, ever since seeing the Super God Sword in Maximus' hand, Ive had that old dong, "Everybody is Kung Fu fighting" stuck in my head. :cry:

Are you people seriously saying this thing is worth ~$100au+???

No man, the REAL "Takara"-branded one goes for $170-$200 US EASILY.

It was only produced in very very very small quantities.

This sword is an exact replica, a knock-off. It only runs $50 US on eBay.

But yes, there are some idiots at BOTCONS and on eBay who pay that much for a plastic sword. Hell, for $200 US you could get a mint G1 Scorponok with all his parts! I know, because I just got one for a few $ less than that.

But we are happy because their is an alternative to the $$$ real deal.

Who cares if it does not read "TAKARA"? It looks just the same. Plus, my wallet is $150 US heavier.

Well-worth the $50 US, especially if you have a Fortress/Brave Maximus.

The only real one on ebay right now is actually 400 + shipping. The blue version for Omega Prime is 200 USD.

I NEED ONE OF THOSE DAMN SWORDS! :-x

KO. I'm too cheap to ever buy a real sword.

LOL, I hear ya. Seems like a waste to spend 500 extra to get the real versions of the two swords.

$400?! That is freaking insane!

And I bet some guy will pay that thinking he got a deal...while he lives in his mother's basement. :lol:

Good on you. You will not realize the scale of the thing until you hold it in your hand.

It is, as Jazz would say: "Gianormous".

Did you buy it from that one overseas seller selling like 10 of em?

I'm still procrastinating. I think I may wait till next month since I'm probably gonna end up blowing a hefty amount at Botcon.

Nah I got it off a US Seller.

Whats so great about Botcon?

Dealer room and just fans there with stuff to sell.

Always good to have extra funds just in case something extraordinary pops up.

I would not know.

But I read somewhere it runs like $300 just to get through the door. Plus, lodging.

I also hear of MASSIVE price gouging. Example: TRU Exclusive Soundwave re-issue. MSRP: $39.99, he was charging $100 for it. Just a tad insane.
