Thanks for spoiling the plot to Rise of the Planet of the Apes for me!

Sadly, you know what sold me on this expensive P.O.S. that I will probably regret buying later? The fact that Razorclaw0000 told me about this unique or interesting package that it comes in. I hadn't seen any pics of the packaging so I thought it needed the Seibertron.com gallery treatment. I may sell my set to recoup my costs and time after I do a gallery of it later down the road. It's not a piece that I consider necessary for my collection, especially if the packaging is necessary to sell me on the toy. Packaging gets ruined over time. Floods happen. Dings happen. I can't pay BotCon prices for a Japanese exclusive "dusty" paint job on two lackluster characters of which I already own too many versions of.
Of course, that's all easy to say until I get the set in my hands. We'll see if I sound like a politician after I get it and do a flip-flop.

Haha, oh boy. I just think regardless of whether the toys are good or not, or if the packaging will be good, I'm guessing the purchase happened because of the price point on BBTS? I would've done the same if I was a movie completionist. But man, ROTF Skids is a decent toy, with a rather complicated transformation, and ROTF Mudflap is awful for me, with a transformation that I find ridiculous (haven't transformed him back into car mode since opening the packaging). Even if they were regular priced, I wouldn't touch it.
But hey, you've got a greater goal in mind than simply completing a collection, and that is for the galleries. Good on ya Ryan.

I'm a completist about US released Transformers toys and I generally don't like to let things go from Europe or Japan but I will when necessary. I don't think these two toys are worth American regular retail prices. I still think the $86 for these two toys is absolutely 100% fanatically absurd. If I can get pics of these and sell these for $120 to $200+ later down the road then I'll know I made the right choice.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:30 amDecided to look up pictures of these. Buyers remorse immediately set in. Went back to BBTS and canceled my order for this (sorry Joel).
It comes with the same DVD I got with the ROTF Black Optimus Prime and the toys are in their regular packaging with a limited edition sticker. No way I'll get my money back out of this. Ack. False alarm. Sorry to make a big stink about it.
Only 5 left at BBTS! Go get 'em.
If I find these two for $20, I'll buy them.

Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 7:24 pmi considered getting them as well when they went on sale. good thing i didnt and just think they probably sold a few thousand of those 
now black prime on the other hand he was/is a thing of beauty and to think i got him for even less than those two shelf warmers
