I find it funny how he has been onliquidation everyone else for a year and now BBTS makes a big splash by reducing his price to the point where he is still more expensive (plus the shipping). And yeah, the black label is very pricey, especially when someone can just go to a convention and get a non random sketch instead.

Haha, no, definitely didn't take it personally! He's a great toy, and I'm happy folks can get him for even cheaper.

I love those GO! BH redecos. The faces are super nice, and integrate well into Generations.

william-james88 wrote:So kanrabat, did you actually buy it? Do you own the mold yet? I would have gone for it more if it had a new head like the others. Though I do agree that someone is losing serious money if the shipping is free. Like the deal we got with the others.

Nope. See the edit. Best I could find is one with legit free shipping for 44$US. If it had a new head, it would have been a no-brainer.

Oh well...

Ok wait, does this guy have a new face or not? Because as Kanrabat says, if the head is retooled then its a no brainer and an awesome buy. So Megatronus, please let me know if this is a retool of Beast Fire Predaking or just a redeco. And if its a redeco, thats a bit too bad. Takara did so great with the other dragons that I would find it odd they wouldnt go the extra mile on the biggest one. Would you recomend this one over the others or do you find the others (like Budora) better? No pressure but a few wallets are on the line waiting for your answer

This is fun!

I just SAW a video review. It's just a straight repaint. The only major difference are the clear wings. Even then, they lack a black outline to make them stand out. Finally not worth it.

Dragotron doesn't have a new head, but the other 4 beasts do.

Ah right, sorry.

Thanks!

Indeed. So too are their decos.

All of the Go! Predacons are extremely worth it, except the regular Dragotron release that's barely different at all from the US Voyager Predaking. Some of them were on Amazon recently for lower that what US Beast Hunters Deluxes sold for at regular MSRP, not sure if they're still there and too lazy to look at the moment

For thoses (like me) who found the original Prime RID voyager Thundertron too drab looking, you can get the sexy, sexy GO! deco for a very good deal:

Time for me to finally try out that mold!

Amazon is kinda killing the pricing on the transformers go line and takara stuff in general.

I think I waited too long on picking up Bakudora; he's back ok the up swing. But I just picked up Dainobotto Scone (that's dinobot scorn to you, me and the rest of the world) for $16.38 shipped.

I like to keep an eye on amazon.

If mentioned already gomen.......

Won from ebay @ US$ 4.00 the Reflector promo camera that came with the MP-05 gold version. Lucky lucky lucky

Those are delicious, and great for dunking in coffee BTW.

That link only gives me prices just under 40$. Is that the right link? Because 36-40$ Doesnt sound like that great a deal to me.

With free shipping. It IS a good deal. Not fire sale amazing, but great nonetheless.

There's one at 32$ but it wont ship. I grabbed the last cheap one at 36$ shipped. Meaning 47$CAN. For me, it's paying full Canadian price for a voyager plus 10$ of shipping. that's not too bad for an exclusive Japanese deco.

Sure, you already have Thundertron so it's less apealing for you. I found the mold very interesting but I hated the colors. Finding that deco is a boon for me.

Just compare the competition. First one is the Amazon price I paid. The rest is........

But technically, isnt my deco exclusive too? Hasbro exclusive

Mind blown.

I won't mention that Go! Prime was $20 with Prime shipping a few months back.


Woops.


BBTS deal today is Linkin Park Soundwave. Good deal considering the original asking price of this was much higher than even the $125 they list here: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

Worth it for cassette collectors. Otherwise, I give strict legal advice to stay away from this toy.

Another option from China. 5$ less, but may have a higher shipping cost:

I saw no reason to click the link because he clearly said they list it at 125$. If he had told us from the start that it was 85$, it would have been completely different. I repeat. As the original poster wrote it, he told us the price IS 125$.

So, Masterpiece G2 Bumblebee seems to have greatly dropped in price in the last few days. Did the KO version hit, or are stores just dumping overstock?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00S4DZ9L ... ref=plSrch

That's more than I paid with a japanese pre-order. Its just them dumping stock though, not a KO. I paid $33 from A-E when he came out.

That's a REALLY good price. I wasn't planning on getting it but I'll keep my eye on it. The eternal question, get it now or wait to see if it gets cheaper closer to the holidays.

Does that happen with international sellers too?

If anyone still wants a windblade, BBTS is still liquidating them at 9.99$

Also, a side note question, why in the world is Best Fire Predaking considered an exclusive with an original listing price of 90$ US?!?!?!? I got mine from Walmart for 25$ last year, not sure what is up with this goofy price (it's currently on clearance for 65$ )
