18,730 JPY (=$155.27) and 16,960 JPY (=$140.60)
It looks like those with the lower price have damaged boxes. So, based on what I paid for shipping, which was SAL, this would land him at about $185 shipped to the North America.

But you cant buy those anymore though. And Legends Ultra Magnus had that too. I didnt think about it being damaged boxes though, that makes a lot of sense!

Oh sorry! I didn't notice the GIANT button at the top that reads "ORDERS CLOSED".
My bad.

It gives a description of condition under the heading, Product Notes.

Just as probably hundreds of people reading this got their hopes up

I did some digging and it looks like Nippon-Yasan currently has the cheapest UW Devastor, at ¥17,180. AmiAmi's is ¥18,730 and on backorder. HLJ has it for ¥20,000, while 1999 has it for ¥22,500.

G2 Superion came back in stock for like five minutes. I missed it again, now the earlier link from the news post is dead. Just wanted to give a heads up about the link.

Sounds like a pain in the rear. Man he must be popular

Either that, or they're just getting a couple in at a time at various third parties that are hosted on amazon, just need to wait a little, I'm sure online retailers will be flooded with these

I clicked on the link at one point just for giggles and some guy had 10 for $200 each. I was a little suspect.

Are the G2 sets expected to be hard to get?

Not sure if they are, but hopefully other sets are not this hard to work with

No, he probably just bought them all and is trying to scalp them before bbts and the like gets them

Menasor is the only G2 set that has caught my eye. Something about all those crazy shiny metallic paints

Is there a MSRP or at least a typically expected price. I have $99 in my head. That seems like a good deal for all six members pimpin' new threads.

Not in the least. They will be available at TRU, Amazon and Walmart at least and all hovering the 100$ price range. Should be similar to the extra CW figures that were found all over the web. This is just people who really want it first (reviewers and very eager fans, nothing wrong with that). Just be a little patient, you will get yours soon enough. I am waiting to get them for 75$ cdn. If they dont go down that much, well its ok I dont feel I will be missing out too much.

Oh I got the joke. AB may be plastic goldenness, but he's not literal gold plastic

Did I ever tell you guys about the story of when a friend gave me BW Transmetal megatron? He told me me had a slight crack but that it could be fixed. So I went to work. As I was gluing a small piece another one started breaking. So I went and started fixing that one. Then his arm came off, then his waist. The robot literally crumbled in my hands. I was sitting at a mall cafeteria near a Canadian Target as I saw the toy crumble. Little did I know it was a ghastly omen.

And then Armada came along and remedied this in the best way

No, this was referring to the link that previously pointed to the listing for the sets sold and shipped by Amazon themselves. That link is now dead.

Bigbadtoystore.com has Combiner Wars Sky Lynx Pre-orders available.

Yeah, onslaught was the same way - I thought they were being cheeky in showing us which figure in the case they figured we'd be buying;

You should do the smart thing and just order the case, I did

Naw, I just hold off on preordering guys. They always end up showing up to me in the store or on another online site in stock at a much better price for the ones that I want, and not have to get extras

Yeah, but I need me both of these guys - especially Sky Lynx, so, for retail, why not; I don't want to risk missing either of these guys (moreso than any previous wave, hts is spotty, and my local stores are worse - but I'll wait on the wave 1 limbs for hts) So, I'll support bbts

BBTS has been good to me, especially with their PoL and reduced shipping rates. Don't tell anyone, but I've been moon lighting with TFSource.

Yeah, but they seem to get less variety than bbts, they don't take shipment of any rid stuff, nor do they seem to break up cases in which popular figures are in (but I'm far from an expert)
