Botcon 2011 shattered glass Thundercracker and Galvatron...for $50?

Is this too good to be true? (as opposed to paying $100+...amirite?)

I'd say check the shipping and the seller's reputation in any such case.

Wow! interesting. Even more so because it says its fulfilled by Amazon rather than the actual seller, which means Amazon has it hand. Though its always possible they have a Cybertron Evac, and a Classics Starscream being mistakenly sold as the Botcon versions of those molds.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on them. Everything about the seller SEEMED like it was legit. Plus, i figure $50 is not too much of a gamble considering what i could be getting.

I will post results when they're in hand.

Great, I'm very anxious to see the outcome of this.

I did the same. If this isn't a scam, then I'm thrilled!! If it is, at least it will be taken care of by Amazon..........Oh, and I think I got the last one..........

That's a bit of a Bummer.

Dude, that sucks.

If that happened to you, then why did mine go through?

I was afraid something like this would happen.

Sorry to hear that, zen.

As far as i know, mine should be here today. Headsortails post pics when you when you get them! I will also let you guys know when the eagle has landed.

Mine came in today. I'll have pics posted tomorrow data81......

That's BS! They should have honored the price!

I do hate it for those who weren't able to catch the deal. This was a first for me. Usually I miss on them.

Nice! Makes me super excited to pick mine up from the post office tomorrow.

Thats a steal for $50! Amazon screws up to your advantage.

My eyeballs burn in honour of your Thundercracker.

Finally picked mine up from the post office. I didn't feel like opening them at work but I had to share. Hopefully I will come across more amazon screw-ups.

Yeah, he is bright. I do like the way Galvatron turned out. And to think, I originally picked this up for Thundercracker.

Now I want the Toxitron......

Gotta resist Shattered Glass, gotta resist Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, Megs and Galvatron...
