No picture of the actual item and from that seller? Bidders be crazy.

That's insane. For that current bid, you could buy a G1 Cyclonus w/box! Wow...some people have absolutely no patience. The figure will be widely available in 2 months!

Be the first on the block to have that for $100 plus? I'll just wait to be the last on the block and get it for $7.77 at Walmart.

Assuming Walmart still has these figures on Rollback in December.

100$? really, geesh, people can't wait until the end of the year to get these toys, what's the rush? These toys are going to be sold online and at stores for 20 to 30 bucks. They're worth more in the package, plus they're protected. Well whatever the reason I'm in no rush for my Classics.

Never understood why someone would pay 1, 2, 3 or more bills for something that will be store in a few weeks. Real head scratcher...

Here's hoping for the return of the G1 Head/Target/Actionmasters

I wouldn't care if it was only $15 more, I can more than wait for the regular release to come out and sometimes these early auctions can't be fully trusted.

At Botcon this year they released the Animated figures early for the local market and the dealers went scooping them up and selling them for double or more at the Con. No way was I going for that, let alone the $100+ someone's gonna drop on the auction mentioned here.

Yeah, ump that. And I ALWAYS miss out on the good figures in my area. The only way I get my stuff is via ebay, BBTS or here. But no way would I pay that much for a figure that will be widely available in a few months.

LOL $187.50.....WOW! Someone wanted cyclonus exactly $174.50 and 2 weeks more than I would LOL.That's just amazing to me.If I walked into a buddy of mines room and saw that figure my initial reaction would be D*mn bro where'd you score cyclonus early.I am thinking he rocks!
Response:I spent almost $200.00 on ebay to get him a few weeks early.
Now I am thinking to myself you aren't cool dude,your stupid!JMHO

%187 + the $20 shipping. Eeeeesh. I think I would rather use that money for the Masterpiece Grimlock.

I think someone's wallet just got raped!!

I'll never understand how something like this even gets that high...unless the person bidding is high, and even then...

If not Rollback, wouldn't the price be like $10? Is that still not a better deal than $100 or more?
