I find it ironic that they're donating a portion of Steve Jobs Statue's money to charity. To my knowledge the dude didn't have a philanthropic bone in his body.

Another golden opportunity to make a decent Galvatron even if smaller scale pissed away #-o

Agreed. I was considering getting the Seeker repaint (Bludgeon) until I saw the price. I know it's an exclusive and all, but no, just no. Ain't gonna happen.

I really like that Banzai-tron paintjob. But this is just too high, even from the source (6,825 JPY or $85.50 USD). Add in shipping, and it's more than I'm comfortable with.

Maybe they should've just left these as cancelled... especially since the Masterpiece line is starting to ramp up again.

BBTS must be out of their friggin' minds to think these prices will help them sell these figures. What is going on with all of these price hikes? This is ridiculous! (And no, it's not directly the fault of BBTS, I know.) Retail's getting ridiculous, no matter what country you live in, apparently.

And the Steve Jobs thing? I just find it funny that the man stopped Apple's charity giving, yet the makers of this doll are donating in his honor. It just makes me laugh. Jobs is screaming "NO! GIVE ME THE MONEY!" You just know it...

Megatron + purple does not equal Galvatron.

Most of the time, no, but it does if your name is Unicron Trilogy Megs.

Most people are born with 6. So sparing 3-4 ain't that bad. (J/K)

How in the world are these $140.00?? That is 4 times or more then a non-exclusive. Unless these are also limited to 500 pieces each, and even then it's a steep price.

Oh well, looks like I am going to have to pass on these.
