Moved, no worries.

Mine should arrive from RK tomorrow with Mad Blender probably on Monday.

I'm just having a real hard time even coming close to justifying the cost for these guys. Maybe I'll see them at BotCon and change my mind, but I'll stick with my Walmart Constructicons for my Classicsverse display otherwise.

Meet somewhere in the middle and go for Giant. That's what I'm doing!

Still, I do want to see Hercules completed. Size comparisons and the like while a full Seibertron gallery! Or seven I guess...

Mine's listed as paid right now.

I read you can get all 6 shipped from etoysjapan for just shy of $500...

On any other day, that would have just become my new sig quote.

They only have Structor and Exgraver in stock. With shipping, hypothetically it would be in the $520-$540 range while Giant will be closer to the $320-$340 range. As long as nobody tries to ship it for $200, Giant's still the way I'm going. That said, again I want to see them both, together and separately. It's a good think Hasbro's giving us the year off!

I'm just going off what someone said about the order they placed, that I believe was in the US...that it was like $48 for shipping for all 6...so a total of like $498 for them all. Guess it's pretty irrelevant if they're out of stock, at least till they get more.

As for Giant, so far the only place that has them for pre-order are charging $154 a pair shipped...or $462 for the whole thing at that rate. Granted, shipping should be cheaper if/when they're available to order on this side of the pond, but I think they'll probably still end up being about $400 shipped.

I've had a hard time justifying them the entire time. El Duque can testify of this.

Basically, I went insane a few weeks ago and just bought Exgraver and Heavylabor with serious buyer's remorse. Then they came in the mail... any shred of buyers remorse faded in the awesomeness of those 2 figures.

Now I can't wait for Structor and Dr. Crank to arrive and to finalize my order for the last 2 figures.

I wasnt going to get these either, untill the "missing out" feelings started to sink in. Also I knew I was going to kick myself later if I missed out and the aftermarket prices for this set soared.

So I broke down, I just try not to think about what it costs!
I'm not even really sure why, Its well within my monthly hobby budget. I think its just the fact of owning a $600 figure, its new to me.
