I'd love to own one, but not at those prices, wow!
$225.00 Is it made of extinguished sparks? Gold? Diamonds?

LOL....extinguished sparks! Funny!


And they are sold out! I would love one too, but I am not about to sell my soul to get one! I am sure you can get one made by a jeweler cheaper than that!

True true, Pyro.
Plus the site says it comes in a size 8.5, which MIGHT fit my thumb. Anything else, I'm gonna need a size 7 or 7.5

Yeah, I've got long, scrawny fingers. "Piano hands" I believe they're called. 'Cept I can't play. Ah well.

DM- I'd be surprised to see someone auction it off for so much less than they paid. The ebay ones might be knockoffs, or lower quality. I've seen similar rings before, but nowhere near this expensive. Or, maybe it is the same, and they just don't sell well.

If i saw the ring on ebay for like 15 bucks, i wouldn't care if it's a knockoff or not, as long as it has the Decepticon symbol on it.

They are made of living sparks like the matrix. Original price was $165, They only made 200 total. 50 in each ring size. They also are not made in the US. They are silver and real jewelry not like the toy rings on ebay.

I wear the cybertron one instead of my wedding ring and the destron one is on the opposite hand. You have to be careful, because if you are in the habit of leaning on your fist when you are thinking, you get a decepticon symbol on your face. :D

And you can punch someone in the nose and there would be no doubt as to it being the work of decepticons. :D

BBTS has a 2000% mark up policy on all items it sells.

Only a Decepticon would be dumb enough to pay that for a pewter ring.

Or enough galactic credits that they don't care. :SMUG:

First Gen, what happened to your old sig that looked real cool. This one is just so plain.

Uber galactic credits or massive stores of energon, paying that much for a ring is downright evil.

And this is up until I get voted out of the cover contest, then I will revamp my sig. Thanks for noticing.
