Part of me is glad I only spent 100 on them.
The other part is disgusted I spent 100 on them.
Oh well, life will go on.

I'm going to have to pass on these guys. Way too expensive for targetmasters in my eyes....

thats beyond insane. id rather buy 4-5 powercore combiners for £10 each and spray paint the minicons.
if anybody actually pays that much they deserve a slap. maybe several.
its like buying fp crossfire for £150 (bout 4 months ago that was going rate). Its cool, but its tiny bits of plastic and not THAT cool.
madness dude, utter madness

Absolutely and completely not worth it. The most I'd pay is $10 apiece for Fansproject notTargetmaster figures like Sidearm.
Note to FansProject: there might be a market out there for notTargetmaster figures.

Well that works out to $50.00 a piece, I'm actually surprised they're not more than that considering their limited nature.

People were paying how much for Crosfire? Jesus I bought mine from a dealer last month for £90.00 and he had loads left, still has some now.

Not that I wouldn't pay the money for these guys, but I'm getting them for free so that doesn't really matter.
When I've got the money, I'll buy whatever the hell I want.
You gonna slap me? Somewhere on the butt preferably.

Mini-con collecting is a high-class endeavor, requires good contacts and the ability to get what you want when you want it. Oh, I'm sorry, you're mad because BBTS is pricing this pretty well for the people who don't want to take the effort - for the people who want to sit back and obtain figures that are extremely limited, difficult to come by, overseas store time-limit exclusives and likely going to skyrocket on the secondary market. Shame on BBTS!
Don't want to join the club? Well, I'm sure there's a club for recreational Transformers fans out there somewhere in Snoozeville.

Oh yeah final note, your Generations Blurr, Kup and Scourge are a joke without these.

The price doesn't amaze me, the fact that they sold out so quickly does!

A waste of money for repainted PCC mini cons for the united line figures! The Japanese are greedy.

These really aren't going to be that limited. Just annoying to piece together. They shouldn't be going for anymore than the Mighty and Guardian teams ($75 a set) which were virtually identical to assemble.
