Only thing on there I would consider a deal was the leader class Brawl at $48.88, he will sell for more than that on ebay. Everything else seems slightly overpriced.

The only reason I found this site is because I am looking for Transformers Universe- Deluxe Class Ratchet. They have it for less than 30 bucks and it's usually well over 60-70 on ebay including shipping.

Ah, that's a tough cookie. There aren't any red flags when I'm on that website and it looks legit. If you really want Ratchet bad.. I suppose it's worth the risk.

That's the best price I've seen on Universe Ratchet in a while. I say go for it. Place the order on your credit card, and worst case scenario if you don't receive the toy, you tell your credit card company the business never sent your order.

I actually just placed an order there two days ago. I haven't recieved an order confirmation or anything yet or even a ship notification. The only reason I ordered because is the only place I could find that still had the TFC-005 Gear of War 2 set. I know BBTS has a pre-order but who knows if they will ever get it back in stock. They also had the legends rodimus for a decent price which I also ordered. I saw the ratchet and thought about it real hard but haven't decided to get it. I will let you know if it worked out. They also except and are verified by paypal so I decided it was worth the risk.

The question is: why would anyone want that figure that much?

A late comer completist or a big ratchet fan maybe?

Or maybe because Universe Ratchet is relatively rare and he fills the Classics Ratchet role perfectly fine.

Yes all those seams in vehicle mode are annoying and the screw holes on the shoulder suck. But it's part of completing the classics/universe/generations collection and Ratchet is a pretty important character.
