Those are really good prices, Especially for Leozack and the Sweeps.

Oh and Mkall you have a typo, Banzai-tron and Skyquake are $119 not $199 :D

Well, i'm getting the "Wings of Honor" boxset from BBTS already so I just added Leozack to the preorder. I already got the rest on eBay. Still, this will be my first complete Botcon set so WOO-HOO!

I really need to be more patient. I overspent by about $100 total compared to what I already bought from eBay.

Oh well. Hopefully I'll make a few $$$ on the extra boxed and loose sets I ordered.

Well I would have loved to have ordered the Sweeps, but they sold out almost instantly. Anybody got a set for sale shoot me a PM.

Those Sweeps are selling out like hot cakes. One of the best Army Building ideas... too bad their brethren along with Scourge are going to be sold out and practically untouchable on the secondary market.

Sigh..

Yeah, it's always kind of surprised me that Hasbro hasn't released a G1 Scourge in the Universe line. Heck, he's a natural army-builder. Make him a deluxe to go with Cyclonus, and I'd buy at least 3 myself. And I don't army-build. It seems to me that he'd probably be one of the better-selling figures in the line, just on that basis alone.

It's comforting to know that the human body can survive on just 1 kidney. I'm gonna have to grab the sweeps..

edit: Never mind, sold out.. :sad:

Tell me about it, I'm getting the boxset and would love to have the sweeps to go with Scourge. Oh well guess I can hope for a Henkei release some day.

Right? Dammit... I overpaid about $100 compared to BBTS prices... But you can never tell how fast these guys will sell out, so at some point, you have to pull the trigger... that's my line for justification of overpaying :lol:

For those who don't know, here's the actual Botcon prices (as told to me by an attendee:

Razorclaw + Elita: $80
Banzai-tron + Skyquake: $70
Sweeps (set of 3): $50
Leozak: Free

All bbts care about is thier profit margin on top of what they paid for them, its a business and not normally a scalp tastic retailer.

saying that theryre were plenty of dealers with the sweeps for sale at the Con, mainly for between 100-150.

The prices normally settle don after the con after the initial frenzy dies down and then people realise how much they actually paid, how much were those Botcon Europe exclusives going for directly after the con huh? And how much are they worth now.

If your happy with the price thats what matters, you always take the risk on the secondary market

All right I have a question about Elita-One. Does she have a new head? In the Games of Deception comic she has a much squarer, more G1 head but on the '09 litho she has the more rounded Thunderblast head. I can't really tell from the pictures but I know Razorclaw has a new head. I've already got them coming from eBay but I just want to know ahead of time.

No head remold for Elita-1, but as far as 'stock' heads go, this one is fairly representative or her looks, IMO.

That's cool. Yeah, it still looks like her so I'm not complaining.

I bought Razorclaw and Elita which was my main concern, I was hoping to get Banzitron and Skyquake but now that set is sold out...in fact I think only Leozack is still available as far as add-ons go...
