UGH.
I can't like this thing, no matter how much I try.
I don't mind the vehicle mode and I really like the Mechtech weapon, but the robot modes are just trash to me.
If Jetwing Optimus comes here, or the import goes on sale for a reasonable price, I might bite. This just doesn't do it for me, and until something changes...the Cyberverse trailer n' fig will have to do. (Not a complaint, mind you. A really nice figure set for $15.00...)

You're lucky. That's under half of what we'd have to pay in Norway.
Would importing help keep the costs low? If so, I'm sure a member would be willing to help you.

That sounds like opportunists taking advantage. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a screw job and it's not fair.

6% here in PA. I know some states are even lower. If I remember correctly, Idaho doesn't even have sales tax. We also have no sales tax on clothing or food. Fast food does, but that's because we're paying for the service, not the item.
EDIT: I was incorrect about Idaho. Alaska, and a few others (some will surprise you), has no sales tax. You can see the eye opening list that I googled, here:
