Been at $184 on BBTS for a while now. Thankfully I pre-ordered it when it was $169, so they've honored that.

Yep, I preordered him long ago on BBTS. The price is still showing as $159.99 for my preorder, hopefully it won't change.

189$?

It better pay for my cab ride home after shafting me.

seriously, 189$ for a figure the size of MP10?
It better have a working MP3 player to make it worth that.
It's not complex, it has next to nothing moving in Deck mode.
Where is the price increase coming from?

this is now a pass.

BBTS went through a few price changes and tried to honor prices of their early pre-orders. $190 is just too much, so I'm glad I have my price set at $159. I really don't want to wait a year to possibly get a Hasbro release (or be disappointed).

Try some of the Japanese retailers, they may have some reserved pieces left or (in one site's language) have a provisional preorder. The prices will be decent, but then factor in another $30 for shipping.

Wow. Now I really wish i had pre-ordered him while he was reasonable.

I guess I'll wait until hasbro decided they want to do him. Or not if he's missing the tape bots or has different ones.
