Nah, they need more ebay listings for it to show up so they know how much to jack up the pricing for their hoard of leftovers.

For real though. Never been to BotCon, and never bought exclusives until this year. If I buy this (and let's be honest; I'm a sucker for combiners, so I probably will) will I get the head for Medix? I don't completely understand how these figures work. (I do already have the Medix sticker sheet on the way.)

The description isn't conclusive. Call on Monday.

Could always find an CW First Aid and strip the paint off it.

I think TRU was selling unpainted Medix's. They're probably sold out now...

It's just the First Aid head, so even if Ratchet came with it, you'd still have to paint the head to make it look like Medix anyway.

Like, red color and all? All the Medix that currently exist started with a red head?

I honestly wanted give some respect to them especially with how crappy Hascon turned out to be.
But then they do crap like this which only reminds me why I was "Meh" about them losing their license in the first place.
Good riddance!

Yeah, it's kind of sad how ridiculous the prices are, but there are some good deals still like the diaclone stuff. 4 warruders under $40, burnout and lifeticket and $30, zaptrap under $20. The club bonus figures are a good price, too, but anything botcon or tfss related is EXPENSIVE.

I'm not sure I'd call them 'garbage'. However, you're one-hundred percent right that it's overpriced.

Kinda makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking when they settled on that price, especially when you consider the fact that there are $6 Titan Masters with more paint on them than that Ratchet figure. $150 for an unpainted Deluxe is a blatant ripoff.

That's the point of those figures of "custom class". They come unpainted and even unassembled so you can paint them yourself.
Because when you pay between 75$ to 200$ for a figure, you really want to sloppily and amateurishly paint it, right?

They were wondering how much would it be for people to buy it off them instead of e-bay. They are banking on fans believing that the ratchet head this comes with is seen as more prestigious and official than someone simply 3-d printing their own ratchet head and putting it on first aid.

Don't get me wrong, I totally get the idea behind the custom class. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that they would charge that much for a toy that you have to do all of the work yourself. Especially when there are smaller TFs out there with more paint on them at a fraction of the price the club wants. Sorry, I should have clarified what I was trying to get at. I just don't get why they would charge that much for a toy that the customer has to put all of the effort into applying paint and stickers.

Oh, we totally got that. And the fact that those ultra expensive toys are "custom class" make things even worse.

Posted by kurthy on September 29th, 2017 @ 1:51pm CDT
Today we will begin the final Clearance Sale for all items left in the TCC store. Anyone can order these items.
This is basically going to work like a "Going Out of Business" sale you see in brick and mortar stores.
Today marks the beginning of the final Clearance Sale and everything in the store is 10% off. Approximately every week, the discount will increase 10% until we get to 90% off before the end of the year. Some items only have a quantity of 2 or 3 and are very limited. Some items have a quantity of several hundred. It's up to you to decide the price you want to pay.
All Sales are Final and there are no returns or adjustments for this Clearance Sale. If you wait too long for the price to drop, the items may be gone. If you buy too early, you may not get the lowest price. We will not be making any price adjustments and please do not email or call us with an offer for these pieces. We have gone through everything in the warehouse and we believe that what is online is the last of everything. However, we might stumble on to a few more items once all of the pieces are removed from their bins.
We will not make any price adjustments for past purchases if you find that an item is being offered at a lower price during this Clearance Sale.
Again, there are no returns or exchanges and ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
Thank you for your support over the years!
Brian

There's only a few figures left that I want. I'll wait for them to drop in price and if I don't get them, I don't get them. I'm not going to pay the crazy prices these are listed at now just because they supposedly only have two or three left. As it stands, I can get most of them cheaper elsewhere.

Me, too. Waiting for the prices to drop on everything. If they're bought before the price becomes worthwhile to me, then oh, well.

There are a few items I do have a place in my collection, but not a 'lot'.
I mean, the Games of Deception set. Once I would've snapped that up. Now? I own Thundercracker, Thrust, and Dirge from it. Got them a lot cheaper, too.

I do want the rainmaker set, but it'll never get to a price range I'm happy with.

I noticed that the GI Joe/Transformers Crossover figures base price seems to have jumped up a bit prior to the sale.
