Way, WAY too expensive for me. 110$+tx just for two junkions is ridiculous. So, I'll wait for the innevitable clearance.

If they show up at TRU and I can use my rewards? I'll bite. I want that box art and sticker! And yeah, I guess Hot Rod and the Junkions too.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Haha, in the bio. sweet!

It's a shame really. I'm one of the few fans who's been universally happy with the Platinum releases thus far, but this set is a huge waste. People love troop building, and I'd have bought this set if those Junkions were different at all. After seeing the price in the currency of my homeland, $110 didn't even seem that bad. They just look too damn much like the originals.Down_Shift wrote:Good find!
I have too many of each mold, so this will be a pass for me. However this is a good opportunity for those newer to collecting to get a few really nice figures.
I'm afraid though, at $110 + tax they won't be flying off the shelves.
Ugh! I know... after I saw everyone getting excited about the blurb I was like " "itscramtastic wrote:I know, right?! COME ON SHAJ!! Get the whole box next time!!ScottyP wrote:That's just excellent!

As far as I can tell, all he did was make everyone do a silly dance. I await my acknowledgement!
HR: Guns aren't exactly friendly. Kup: Neither are they if you hadn't noticed. HR: What was that universal greeting again..oh wait I remember. "Bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong." Wreck-Gar: Bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong? HR says it again, Wreck-Gar shouts it, the Junkions shout it repeatedly, Dare to be Stupid swells, Wheelie breakdances, Grimlock gets kissed and complains "Me Grimlock no kisser, me Grimlock king!".Agamemnon wrote:You remember Transformers: the Movie very differently than I do...Mr O wrote:As far as I can tell, all he did was make everyone do a silly dance.

[Edit] Thanks to the magic of You Tube (Hot Rod comes in at about 2:30)
Seems to me that Hot Rod ended the fighting, just as the packaging says. In fact, Kup was ready to join in the fighting...
