This year is getting way too expensive. At least the movie years give my wallet a break

Yeah, but that price is pretty good for what you are getting.

4 takara deluxes and a voyager would usually cost 145$ on BBTS, so it looks like you get a minor discount for buying the set.

I think the price has more to do with the falling Yen... also, $145 seems low. I would think it closer to $170, assuming $30 per deluxe and $45-$50 for a voyager

There's also shipping to factor into the equation, though.

Also, those names BBTS is using are, as JelZe pointed out earlier, not quite what the toys will be called since, according to the original magazine scan, Takara's gonna be using the original Japanese names. So Firefly/Fireflight will be "Firebolt", Air Raid will be "Air Rider", and Slingshot will be "Sling". Silverbolt, Skydive, and Superion are the same, though.

BBTS usually charges more than amiami or hs

Don't get me wrong, I'm kind of relieved at $125, I was expecting 150-160. Add that up with Star Saber at 170, Exhaust at 80, who knows what other MPs this year, it's getting up there. As soon as Tfsource follows suit later today, I'm preordering, but damn, there goes my plan to get Deathsaurus this year

I was actually going with 25$ per deluxe and 45$ per voyager. 30$ for a deluxe is a bit high.

Oh and Tankor is 29.95$ on tfsource. I dont order legends from these sites (I buy from e-bay chinese sellers instead) and I just thought they would sell them for a price similar to what Legends deluxes sell in japan retail, which is 25$. 30$ is very expensive, glad to know Superion is much cheaper than that.

Is it normal that I prefer Hasbro's Silverbolt so much more than this one. I get what they are trying to do with the G1 cartoon love, but the muted colours work much better for me. I was actually expecting they would use gold to match the G1 toys.

It does, and with the white fists and feet on Superion, it's a home run. Now if Silverbolt had a base mode that connected to titan Metroplex, it'd be that much better. Btw, why does hasbro have to put so much black plastic on everything? Is white plastic so much more expensive? It's jarring on Arcee and looks kind of cheap on Superion

Color distribution, it makes the figures look less bland. Not to sound morbid, but it also lessens photo-degradation (aka yellowing).

That makes sense, but in some instances it looks like it just doesn't belong

i prefer the black hands and feet. there's too much white without them. but i prefer the yellow on silverbolt. the hasbro silverbolt just looks like a blob of white.
