Ray from site sponsor Robotkingdom dropped by to let us know they now have Transformers United Store Giveaway Targetmasters Haywire and Fracas in stock! Perfect for upgrading your Generations or United Scourge and Blurr to their full Targetmaster glory!

I love how Takara are like "Those PCCs? Ummmmmm..no. But the minicons, there's potential."

$50 each? Are they insane?

[Blackstreak]

$50 a pop for such a small thing is a bit hefty for me. Even bigger considering the shipping costs. Love to have them but too pricey.

[Cyber Bishop]

If Donald Trump was my father I could afford these.

Really diappointing why Fansproject can make a Targetmaster for 10 bucks and the the atual manufacturer tries to rip us off for 50 a pop. My respect for Takara has gone down even more.

Here's a headline for you: they were free when buying 3,000 Yen (like $35) worth of United product at certain stores. Add import costs and mark-ups, you've earned your United figures back. So I'd direct my anger more towards the stores than towards TakaraTomy. I'm actually doing that right now.

Jelze is right - the likes of BBTS and Robotkingdom are the ones at fault here, not TakaraTomy.

How can they justify a $50 price tag for a minicon?

Hopefully people will have sense, and wait for the price to come down - yeah, right...

I got a stack load of overtime at work this month that I wasn't expecting, I hadn't realised I'd clocked up so many hours and decided to treat myself.

I bagged the pair from evil bay for $70, shipped to the UK, not too bad in the scheme of things.

Nice one, that's a pretty good price.
