I mentioned in a previous post how this line dragged me back into the world of Transformers.
I first noticed it when I was at Target with my wife one day early this year. I had in my hand a Starscream and put it back. At the time, I was saving money for our imminently arriving baby. So, starting a new collection of "toys" wasn't really in the equation.
Being a child of the 80's, I was instantly shot back in time when I looked at these figures, though. Eventually, we were back at Target a few months ago and I was staring wistfully at the Magnus/Skywarp two pack. The one in my hand was the only one on the shelf and it was marked as a clearance item. My wife convinced me I should go ahead and get it. About a month after that is when I decided I had to have all of the Classics.
Unfortunately for me, I never again came across a Starscream in my area. In fact, by the time I finally made a serious effort to collect this line, most of the Classics had dried up in local stores. I eventually got my Starscream off eBay this week for a little more than $20 (after several failed attempts to get one from some folks on this board and another).
I thought Starscream was going to be the last figure I needed to get (not counting the Constructicons which never appeared in my local Walmarts and aren't all that classic since they're missing one). Unfortunately, Boscovs's Department Store (where I ordered both Prime and Megatron online) never shipped my Megatron. Eventually, they changed the order status to "special order" and, after a month, cancelled the order telling me the item was no longer available. Dang it!
So, I still need Megatron to make me happy.
I do have two extra Ramjets that I picked up since somebody had posted online that they wanted to trade a Starscream for a Ramjet (never was able to get that deal completed).
Anyway, if anybody wants to sell me a Megatron, I'm all for it. I've tried twice (once here, once on another board) to get a Megatron, again with no luck). Currently prowling eBay for a reasonable deal....
Besides the two Ramjets, I also have a movie Deluxe Arcee available. How about a trade of Ramjet/Arcee for Classics Megatron?
If nobody stateside shows interest in one of the Ramjets (I'm toying with the idea of hanging on the one of them as a repaint), I'm willing to entertain the idea of sending it overseas provided the recipient has Paypal and pays the shipping cost. PM me if interested.
