I own a MP-08, but got it cheap because his box was in a sh*tty position hence the reduced price. Had to skip on some MPs like Rodimus, Lambor and Alertand had to live on Scooby snacks for two months when I got MP-10 and MP-13/16/17..........

If opportunity will grant you, try getting one, given the position you are in, the Hasbro version will do (it is cheaper I think) but once you get a steady job.......why not make him your holy grail? Scrimp on the recent releases and target him in the future............good hunting!
Yes, that is the plan! Grimlock is still in my distant future, and as I said, I will consider Soundwave once it hits TRU. Stopped by mine today and they still have 9 Optimus Primes just shelfwarming, so I'm hoping the same will happen later (doubtful, but still hoping).
I understand you as well. I've got a daughter in college now and I'm between jobs. Financial aid doesn't cover everything. I hate I missed out on Grimlock when I had a job and he was cheapER. But I have gotten the more recent ones while they are still under $100. Plus I still have the Hasbro versions of the seekers, Megatron and the 20th Prime. I got Skywarp when Wal Mart clearanced him for $10. (I sold my Takara versions.) But it's really just timing and opportunity when funds are available. Ebay can be your best and worst friend depending on those factors. Sometimes I just refuse to pay the going price and stalk ebay. Just think of what you can get when you're done with school. Who knows hopefully when she graduates the year after next I might get a couple of presents from my little girl. lol. Still waiting on that TRU Soundwave too.
