So, I found osme rather interesting items in a vide game store today.
Two SDCC Alt. Nemesis Primes, and a red version RiD Side Burn.
Deal is, the Nems were $120.00 each, and Side Burn was $29.99
These were all complete MISB.

Not sure about the NP, but that's sounds a bit high for Sideburn. I got Sideburn, Xbrawn, and Prowl, all in the supercharged colors plus a Landfill set all misb for $20.00 on ebay not too long ago.

The Primes go for about $60-$80 off Ebay so pass on that.

You could do better on a red SideBurn though, plus he is the least enjoyable of the AutoBot Brothers(in my opinion). Too much kibble and week joints ruin the figure for me.

I'd shop around online.

SDCC Nemesis Primes should be around $55-$65. I got my first at local Collectibles Trade Show for $55, my 2nd one just last week off eBay for $41 + $6 shipping. $120 each is definitely too high.

Cheers,

Yeah, Sideburn is the worst of the three. The alt mode is nice though.

Did I forget to mention internet shopping is out of the question?

Anyway, It might have been 120 for both, but I can't remember exactly.

If you don't mind, why?

Even if you can't register with PayPal an Ebay seller will usualy take a money order if you contact them first. And thats only a hike to the post office.

This is why i remind people of my age. I'm 14. You covered the PayPal, but my Dad doesn't trust internet buying except from the official company, and I don't have the money on hand.
I don't take it out of my savings either.

Thats fine then, but you know $120 for a figure is a lot for anyone, especialy one you can't open then repack for prosperity.

With these facts in mind, I say wait, and hang on to your money.

I'm 31 and have both my own cash and no one to answer to. I'd realy love two MP Screamers, and can get them for $150 off ebay(yes for 2), but you gotta weigh the pros and cons sometimes.

In short, it sucks, but sometimes you gotta let bots go. Be wise with your money today, and you'll have more to enjoy tomorrow :)

Thing is, I may be getting it for Christmas....
If I get lucky. :grin:
But yeah, you reminded me of my sorrow in MP Screamer.
Wal-Marts 'round here suck.
