the price for the pair isn't bad, I must say. Glad I got mine already though. I really just want tc and not warp. But having said that, I feel sorry for poor warp.

Hmmm, dunno about this price - Fan2Fan has them $90 a pair plus say $30 shipping from Japanland to anywhere in the world, that's $120 to your door - Trumped again BBTS.

Yeah, I pre-ordered these a few hours ago as well, why the hell not right
Still, even at $120 for the pair to my door, the Botcon "exclusive" set I got last year is still cheaper per figure.
I'm glad that I can now display these two in both modes

Still a decent price to collecting both hasbro figures, from a trustworthy site like BBTS?? I ordered a set as soon as I heard this. For those that missed the Target exclusive, or Botcon 07, and have complained constantly since then: here is your chance. They don't ship till September, that means preorder now, save till August when it'll actually be charged (just prior to shipping) and your there, holding a figure that you've sought out for so long. Miss this and you've nobody to cry to but us poor saps who will have to filter through the message boards.

Yeah, I guess it's worth paying an extra $20 or whatever for the peace of mind that BBTS will take care of everything and not rip you off.

Am i allowed to say "WTF" instead of "great" ?
It's US$140 for a couple of toys. I don't need them that bad. I'd rather buy a masterpiece starscream and paint it myself.

Classics and Henkei, giving the fandom nothing but absoloute headaches.
When Skywarp was released with Magnus I know a lot of people sold Magnus off because they didn't want just another white Prime repaint but they kept Skywarp.
Now people are scrambling to reacquire Magnus to go with his new armour that's getting produced while people are looking to offload Skywarp because they might have to get him with Thundercracker.
Has the fandom ever seen anything as crazy as this?

It's a free country man, go for it - post the results though, cuz I like teh lulz
The truth is, no one needs this shit, we just want it - Sometimes bad enough to switch off our brains and hand over our wallets, sometimes not.
This is one of the few times I'll willingly get reamed for an "exclusive" figure, but I needs my Seekers

You do realize that Hasbro already released these as exclusives. That is what all the fuss is about. Also please refrain from using the word "Japs".

The rest of us have been calling them "elevens" for some time now. Seriously though, I suppose it's like calling Americans Yanks, or some such. There's probably a word like that for just about every people of every country.Craven Knight wrote:Stormrider wrote:...Also please refrain from using the word "Japs".

I got mine through a proxy-buy service that was recomended on the boards.
Should be $110 to my door. That saved me enough that I ordered Henkei Screamer for the full set of takara seekers.
It seems $110 is about as good a deal as I can get, but since I've never used these guys before my fingers are crossed.
In retrospect, I should have broken down and bought the Botcon set when I had the chance. But, live, learn, and then pay out the @$$ later

Okay, I know I initially said 'Cracker was a pass and 'Warp a maybe but I've put the preorder in for the pair. Not paying until September was the decider here as I'm not as flush as I could be at the moment and am about to take my seasonal break, so I'm looking at about a month without wages late June and early July. With the Magnus armour as well September is going to be a pricy month, guess I'll have to watch my spending at Auto Assembly this year
Hopefully we'll see a preorder for the Clear Convoy before too long, I'm still a definate for that sucker.

I'm guessing that question's rhetorical, correct?
I kept my Ultra Magnus figure. It's unlikely I'm going to be getting the armor, though.
Actually, thanks to Sunstar, I'm only getting TC. I don't need to get the double set. And if I was, I'd probably sell off Classics Skywarp and keep the Henkei figure.

Yeah, I knew this was coming. Decent price. 70 bucks a figure.
Little higher than the Botcon set and not as exclusive but hey, you wanted it, you got it.

I happily placed my order, however I may have a lead on just scoring a ThunderCracker or two, so if that pans out...
Still, I greatful for the second chance.
