Recently I saw this set on a site for $59.99. Is this price resonable?? Are Ultra Magnus & Skywarp worth buying??

o o o guys one more thing. Should I buy TF figures directly in Hasbro online store??

Holy ****
I saw the set on Amazon for $39.99
I asked my grandpa to pay it with his credit card first
Then I'll pay him back with cash



When I double check the bill, the shippment was around $28 !!
That means I needed to pay around $ 68 for the set
So I cancelled the order right a way

P.S. Hope they didn't deduct $68 from my grandpa's account,,,

Actually I hv a list of Classics TF that I wanna get

Voyager Class:
-Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp
-Jetfire

Deluxe Class:
-Astrotrain
-Rodimus
-Ramjet

If anyone knows where and when I can buy a cheap one, tell me about it,,, Thz

whaaaaa? No way. It reatailed at Target for $20. If you're lucky it may still be on a random Target shelf or in their online store. Also, they're just repaints of Optimus and Starscream.

Thz
I'll try look them up in the online store

Nah, I got it on sale for $15

The thing is, once they are off store shelves after their limited release, you can expect the price to go up.

Take Universe Nemesis Prime for example. At one point, it was clearanced at Target for about $9.00 (the lowest I saw it for in person, at least). Now they sell for around $50 (with some auctions at over $100).

$60 is very high right now, but in the future that may seem reasonable. You can do better. In fact, I'll sell you a loose set (new, 100%) for $35 including shipping. PM me if your interested.

The vs pack is a great pack. if you don't have those moulds already. But even if you don't , there is no way its worth 50 bucks. Considering it retailed for $19.99.

I'm sure you can find it cheaper somewhere else.

Thz for the cm guys

I will think about it.

I payed £15 for this set- that's $30. It was worth every penny. These two are very nice figures.
$50 is not worth it. Buy the set off of Ebay or a member here. It's worth trying a Brit, as they're in plenty of stock on this small island of ours. Just ask around. $50 is not reasonable.

I wanted thse guys so bad I drove about 54 miles to the nearest target to get them. At the time they were going for about $40 online so I didn't have my hopes up. but that was about 2 months ago.

But man, was the endcap full of them. I got 2, I would have gotten more but i was considering gas ino my finacial equation. I love these guys!

$60 does seem a bit high, but the $35 Lapse Of Reason offered you is a great price, if you don't mind them loose that is. if you wanted Pristine - never to be opened, $60 sounds about right.

I payed $40 for mine, and was totally happy with it - Magnus is an awesome mold in chrisp clean colours and Skywarp is one of the most beautiful Transformers I have, both in robot and alt mode that black, purple & silver colour scheme is total sex to my eyes.

I've got like 6 of them MISB in my office.

They seem like they are going for around $35 shipped on ebay right now.

That depends on where you live, if its anything but the U.S. of A Hasbrotoyshop wont ship to it. Major bummer in my case.

I like to go around to stores and buy them there. If I absolutely positively have to buy something online I use Amazon. They have some good discounts some times.

They only ship to US
but I live in CA,

So I can't buy the figures from them

Yeah, it's crazy. It wasn't long ago when it was on clearance at Target.

My best guess? You'll probably find them on the back end caps in a few months, months after the movie's opening.

As cool as Skywarp and this TRULY respectful mold of him is, $60 is at least a year and a half too early to be coughing up for him.
