Notice the proportion of the other PRID figures to bee, and the ammount of FE bulkheads.
Well, I just went to TRU and there were more FE than PRID... All the vehicons are getting snapped up, but arcee and cliff remains everywhere.
Some redistribution of wealth is in order... I have FE Bulkhead but I'm sure lots of others here would love you forever for helping them out.

Someone I know in Singapore said they recently got Hasbro FE's in (minus Starscream and Prime). But there isn't much room for profit on them. Bulkhead is $50 and I believe he said the deluxe were $25. Vehicon could bring in something but only *just* since he's running about $50 with free shipping on ebay. So estimating international shipping at around $15-20... it's not really worth the hassle, especially once ebay and paypal take their fair share from the listing and transaction. One might make a few dollars on Bulky, but the same issue as Vehicon applies. The profit margins are so minimal I doubt most would care.

if they could, Hasbro would be digging a hole next to all the Atari ET games.

I'm not sure my idea of "helping out a fellow collector" includes a hefty profit margin. Of course, there are folks who might rather buy from a member on here than some faceless ebay seller from who knows where. And, shipping and paypal fees aside, all money will go to the person who bought the thing. Last thing I bought from a person on here, I stuck in a few extra $ because with the exchange rate as it was, it wasn't a huge deal to me, and the guy was doing me a big favour.

Very much this. Many of us want the FE Bulkhead but don't want to pay the $100-plus prices on eBay. If someone in your region was willing to sell them at their local retail price, plus maybe a small convenience charge, they would have the adoration and business of all of us.
