I found a RID Railracer on a website for $30 plus shipping.(Not going to say which site, just in case.

) I know this is good price and I'm going to buy so what are some things to look out for. Plus the best part the only thing missing is rapid runs missle.

What do you mean, what to look out for? Rail Racer for $30 is either a steal or a scam. You won't know until you get the figure. Or don't.

Loose joints, plastic cracking, pretty much any QC problems.

Also I did buy it so the site was crave. They have great deals over there, for example I bough cybertron cyro scourge for $20. So now I will have change my sig.

That's a fantastic price if the only thing wrong is one missile missing.

Damn, I dropped a little more than that just for one third of hime. $30 just seems too good to be true for the almost whole package.

I thought that to when I bought him, but the shipping of $10 makes up for it.

Deals can be found. I picked up the Sonokong versions of JRX, seperately boxed versions rather than the gift set, MISB for £30 and shipping a couple of years back. Best combiner ever.

Well I finally got some word on railracer. The seller didn't notice that they sold so they shipped yesterday and are suppost to be tomorrow. Also the seller said that he put some reprolables on the trains. ( just faction symbols) I'll take some pics of unboxing when I get it. Heck I might as well do a vid review.

Well they didn't arive yet but I think they will be here tomorrow( they better be here tomorrow I've waited over a week for them :BOOM:

). I might as well check were they are. I'll keep you guys informed on when I might be getting it.

A couple of years ago,ebay sellers were pratically giving away the Takara Hong Kong versions of various TF toys like Bw2nd,NEO,Car robots,brave.

I remember buying a Takara Hong kong JRX Gift set boxed misb from a ebay seller called LIQDEAL for around $29.99. I also got a car robots Nemesis prime for $29.99 boxed factory sealed.

about 9 years ago I got a Beastwars second Gigatron/trypticon misb factory sealed for around $50.

Just checked usps.com and it is at my post office. Now I have one quick questions, I know the takara version is mostly clear plastic painted while the us one is mostly solid plastic. But which one is more prone to loose joints?

Just wondering because I don't know which version it is.

Well I opened the box and noticed that midnight express's missle was also missing, which I don't care about. Then I saw the biggest problem, the problem was, well he was perfect. No, everything is fine on it.

Hi, So while out shopping yesterday I found Railspike, Midnight express, and rapid run. All three MISB so I bought them all for $60. I'm wondering what you guys think? Was it a good deal or a mistake?

That's a good deal, especially MISB.
