I seriously doubt you are gonna find the box set any cheaper than that, especially after G1Uppers gets done with Menace.
Bought Thundercracker and Galvatron. Already had the box set and Toxitron. Not too interested in the autotroopers.

The problem I have right now is my funds are tied up for a couple months. By the time I can do anything about this, I'll be screwed.
If anyone has some extra cash lying around and doesn't mind holding it for a couple months, let me know. We will make something work.

1. When Brian says the 1500 sets are officially "sold out" on a megaphone at Botcon, I guess he is officially lying.
2. They still have that stupid "you must have already purchased a box set" rule which just encourages scalping. (WTF am I going to do with a 2nd set other than sell it ???) I would think a "collectors club" should encourage people who dont own the set to buy it, rather than hooking up scalpers at a discount price.

It says on the TFCC store page that these were the figures that were held back in case anyone needed to return a defective figure and needed a replacement. Hopefully they're still keeping a few in case any of these figures are defective.

I agree but it protects the exclusivity for those who actually bought Botcon tickets. If any Johnny-come-off-the-streets could buy one later it's not fair on those who go to a bunch of effort to get tickets and travel.

I see your point, but e-bay already destroyed any exclusivity ticket holders like ourselves ever had. Owning a Botcon set has basically become a "money talks" contest. I dont blame the actual scalpers. But I do blame TFCC for encouraging club members to become scalpers. Hope I see you at Botcon 2012. I promise a full fridge of beer again.
