Why shocking and miraculous?

What is shocking is that over here, the scouts are now the same price as what the regular deluxes were going for.

And they dont have weapons or targetmasters.

Just to make sure to put salt into the wound.

Unless you had a great deal, or that set is a KO. 300$? 400$? Lol nope. I'll stay with my RID Ruination thank you very much.
After these last purchases (I think theres one more coming) is when things will get thin. But my Bruticus didn't cost anything near that ($150 CAD) otherwise I wouldn't have bought him. But at that price, how could I not?

I wasn't even going to really mess with my haul tonight, but I took that as a challenge. I tore them open, and not only is randy solid, but the pair is pure Takara gold! Not sayin I'm going to give Randy the Vangelus throw test, but I'm not too worried about him.

Expect to see them in the picsNposes thread

I love this video.

Never seen that before :shock:

I know how bad GPS can be (my Mutant Soundwave is proof of that), but that is still surprising. I've never handled a GPS prone figure roughly so didn't realise just how easy it was to completely destroy one.

Worse than, actually. Megatron will break, but Randy's broken pieces can even be crushed further. Randy's the King of GPS.

I transformed my Star Wars Crossover Millenium Falcon one time too many. I wasnt even rough. Hans part was fine enough. Chewie just... shattered in my hands. All the bronze part shatterred like dry twigs.

Sigh... At least, it gave me some parts to make THIS and THAT.

Eh, the Falcon isn't that bad, only thing that broke for me was one of chewie's upper arm, which isn't too hard to fix.

So I guess what y'all are sayin is... don't try to crush Randy in my hand :lol:

No worries. He don't have any GPS. No gold or bronze plastics here. Just paint aps.

Mammoth Prime doesnt have GPS, he is made of pure awesome instead. (easily the best Beast Prime there was, no exageration, although the RID Air attack Prime is pretty great too)

Big Convoy is a massive pile of awesome, but Ultra Monkey Primal and Optimal Optimus win my trophies for best beast prime's.

Hey, Deluxe Beast Machine Optimus Primal is awesome! Fun gimmicks and a very scary ape mode. Sure, not show accurate at all, but he's cheap and awesome enough.

I too liked his angry ape face... but not much else. I didn't even get the "proper" BM Primals until adulthood

Got all excited that MP Bee might've arrived, but alas no...'twas the wifey's Mola Ram and Grail Knight.

Why shocking and miraculous?

Distribution around here has gone to the dogs. The local local store has had tags up for Generations for a month but no new stock, an hour drive away had the smaller CW guys plus two limbs.

While other parts of Australia are getting everything, around my way there's jack and ****. So yes, shocking and miraculous.

And don't even get me started on the prices.

Glad you finally got your hands on MP Bee! It's one awesome figure.
You didnt got hit by some heavy custom fees, I hope?

For mine, I made the mistake of ordering from BBTS. Almost 100$CAN with shipping... and add a nice 27$CAN in custom fees! That's one hell of an expensive deluxe figure. #-o

Seriously, MP Bee could have easily be made part of the Generations line during the ROTF era (sans the bonus fig, of course). Taking HFTD Battle Blades Bumblebee as proof.
