These two guys are on sale at BBTS. Is anyone biting for $120 MP-o1b and $87.99 Ultra Magnus?

I was thinking about getting the black convoy, but the autobot symbol really doesn't look like it belongs . I wonder if anyone makes replacement shoulder pieces

*edited due to confusion*

I have MP-01B and I think it's really worth it. I had never had the MP Prime mold, so I was really taken aback by the weight of the figure and just how well done the robot mode is. I'm a sucker for Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy so the black paint and red windows really make the figure shine (IMO). I bought mine for 100 bucks on Ebay with 20 dollars for shipping, so I think the 120 dollar pricetag is pretty reasonable (especially for BBTS). At first, I thought the autobot symbol would bother me, but it's really not much of an eye sore. Alternity Black Convoy has an autobot symbol as well as an explanation. I just kinda tell myself that MP-01B is really just a Masterpiece Alternity Black Convoy. Works for me, and they really look good displayed together.

Got my Black Convoy from Robot Kingdom so that was about what I paid when it came out. I dunno, it's cool, but honestly, it doesn't seem nearly as big of a deal now that I have it as when it was announced.

That's actually not a bad Price for Magnus, but until he receives armor, I don't see the point. But if that day ever comes (and it's not done by TT who releases it along with the cab,) $88 for the fig is probably gonna be a pipe dream!

Back to Black Convoy (sorta,) I kinda have the feeling ghost Starscream is gonna have about the same effect on me. Super awesome in theory, but just something that takes up space on a shelf once it finally arrives...
