Final Battle Jazz & 08 BB for $30, good deal?
Maybe its was because God liked me, but yesterday I won on aBay 08 Bumblebee and Final battle Jazz for $30. Was it a good deal, or was I ripped off? I know their MSRP is $10 each, but when was the last time you saw these guys anywhere but eBay?

For the time being it was a good deal, but eventually when FB Jazz and '08 Bumblebee come out in massive waves during the holidays, getting it for $10 more than retail isn't such a good deal.

not to bad
like softimus_prime said, when you consider gas that is not to bad. how much did the guy want for shipping, thats were they get you. a couple years from now you won't even remember how much you paid.

I found both of these guys at Walmart yesterday for the right price. So, they are out there if you're willing to wait a little.

Pay the negative comments no mind, It's bitching just to bitch.
Yes. You got an excellent deal, especially considering you got both figures for $39.00
Break that down for a moment:
$18.50 per figure (when you factor in shipping)
And Kohl's charges $12.99 per figure (with taxes (dependent on each state) included) that could easily be $14+ so you're spending $4.00 extra per figure...you'll spend that in gas money on a fruitless search.
You got a hell of a deal, don't listen to the naysayers, and enjoy the figures!

You know sometimes calling is'nt enough, if it wasn't for my persistence and going to customer services, Barricade would be my only deluxe!

i say it is a good deal for right now. it saves the frustration of searching and not finding them, plus the wasted gas money. But these really will be out in full force the next few weeks.

lol yeah so true, I cant believe Hasbro actually underestimated demand for these toys. Guess they had low expectations about the movie's success, didn't they?

Also, consider how much time you saved, and how that time translates into costs, not necessarily money, but opportunities for doing other things... like surfing seibertron.com.
In all seriousness, time's valuable, and not many people take that into account when they hunt for toys.
