You can use google language tools- but its not that good- you eventually just learn symbols for transformers, rodimus, convoy, etc- its worth it in the end

Man these could have been really really cool figures (instead of just really cool) if they hadn't gone and put those gaudy paint apps over the top of the clear plastic.

Agreed, plain ol' clear would have looked much better. I'd never pay $250 for those molds no matter what anyway.

Yeah, I wouldnt pay $250 either, but at 15,000 yen ($130) it is very tempting.

So....Im probably going to bid... you guys could have prevented this...LOL.

I was looking at lucky draws and ran across some people trying to get rid of them (yeah...dont start about lucky draws- some people like them

)

Funny thing... I know the seller. Everything I ever bought from her is authentic. Sad thing though- the lucky draw rodimus has only been hitting max $300 at auction- shes been lowering the starting bid since they havent been selling.

The Japanese auction I posted 15,000 yen...I already got them though, sorry. Actually had to borrow an account.

Oh oh. I thought that was in reference to the clear and black hotrod pair. I have been eyeing those for a while now. However, I wanted the pair for 150, not closer to 200.

Oh, and lemme know if you decide to sell the car bros., as I would probably do you a favor and take them off your hands for you. ;-)

Oh...ok. That guy wont drop his prices though for the hot rod- he is content to sit with them. The black hot rod is getting harder to find... not as much demand for the clear one. Thats probably why you cant get the pair for $150- everyone kept the black hot rod and sold the crystal ones. I think BBTS was selling the crystal C9 hot rod for $129.

Ive never seen a MISB Car brothers set- I dont think they were ever sold as sealed though.
