Man, this last week was murder.

For my bank balance that is.

I got word from Transfigure Toys that MP Megatron was on the way and I had to pay for him, eep ... snuck up on me he did.

So $165AU ($135US) later he's been paid for, just gotta wait for him to arrive.

Then comes the BotCon announcement. The only way to get a complete set of Classic Seekers will be to shell up to $340AU ($279US)! OUCH!

And then today I went shopping ... and what did I find?

Titanium Rodimus Prime, Starscream and RiD Optimus Prime plus Classics Ramjet, Cliffjumper, and the latest three packs of mini-cons. All up just under $150AU ($122US).

So all up for the week I have paid out $315AU ($258US) and found out i'd have to double that again if I seriously want to complete my Classic Seekers.

And for the record, I earn less than $655AU ($536US) a week meaning if i'd jumped straight away on the BotCon thing I would have spent this weeks wages and a bit of next weeks! :shock:

OUCH!

Wow! Shame the Seekers are only availible at the Botcon. Otherwise I would advise you to check the Internet for any better bargins instead.

That price is disgusting, I think I'll just get some spare seekers and repaint them.

I know what you mean. I only work part-time, so most of the $500 (US) I make each month should go to tuition (fortunately have free room and board). Still, I carefully select a few TransFormers to buy occasionally. I wouldn't mind finding loose copies of Ironhide and Chromia from last Botcon, since I have E-Arcee riding E-Towline like he's a centaur. As for the seekers, I prefer to collect Transformers by character (unless a mold is really cool). So I have legends (pretender) Starscream, reissue Skywarp, energon Thundercracker (would like to replace with armada TC), and classics Ramjet. :-?
