Swerve wants to know what's the issue here and why the blanket statement?

Wait? Wuhtt? Cooool.
So was he just a repaint released during TM? Love the colors.

I just grabbed a gently used BW one at ye olden Con, and now I see that that little wishbone piece IS supposed to be a weapon thing. Cool! Thanks! ;)^

P.S. Sorry 'bout the cheap Platinum Blaster/Preceptor.

Yup! Him and Spittor were released in Europe(?) only as faux Transmetals. I'll probably never get the "TM" Spittor, its one of the few BW molds I don't like.

You didn't know he had a claw dealy? That's one of my favorite bits of him. Glad I could show ya ;)^

*sigh*

There were over a hundred left last night so I thought no way they'd go that fast. I don't actually need Blaster or the tapes, just Perceptor, who I've passed on (locally actually) dozens of times based on the price. This set was about half of what those solo Perceptors would have cost me AND I coulda sold the Blaster to boot. Maybe even made money or broken even.

But yeah. What can you do.

Got a crazy haul today. Five volumes of G1 VHS cassettes STILL FACTORY SEALED. Being sealed is almost unheard of, hell, you're usually lucky enough to find them without the boxes being crushed.

And these new 5 bring my total up to 7! I don't even have a VHS player yet :lol:

and I honestly don't know if I can bring myself to open them :shock:

Awesome! How much were they? Maybe you can keep them for a couple decades and then sell them for an even bigger profit to antique nerds. :-P

Got it from eBizzle for about 100 USD. And today I missed out on another lot that would have almost completed my 1-10

Aww yeah, your image seems to portray your emotions pretty accurately from what I can gather.

Oh man, that takes me back. I still cant believe the false advertisement they spouted about no more late fees. People just didnt return their videos, obviously. What did Blockbuster think they would do?!

Anyways, with Force Awakens excitement my local Best Buy's have been stocking this box set. Their sticker price is $135.99, but they're on sale for $99.99. I was doing some random hunting on my way home from work today and stopped in one the BB's I almost never get to, and this was sitting there with the wrong price tag slapped on there. After ringing it through and a polite "no no, looky looky" I managed to get this set for 65 bucks cheaper (or 100, whichever price you want to compare it to) :-D

And no, I didn't switch the tags myself

Target had a cartwheel an few months back, where the first five seasons where 8.99 each on blu ray. I didn't pull the trigger cause the whole series is on Netflix. Now I kinda wish I had.

Is this because of that awesome Canadian law that says if a product is mis-priced, the retailer has to sell it to you at that price?

Yup! Isn't it like that in the States?
