I think I mainly like him for the novelty of having a boombox with a little Decepticon symbol on the front - come on! How cool is that?

The robot mode sucks big. He looks even more ridiculous than most of the other toys and he doesn't seem very playable.

I am not shy about what I paid for these .
Black unicron $40(£20)
primus $50(£25, thanks to rumble.)
grimlock $52(£26, with sword and gun, C9.5 condition, just has slaght chorme wear on tail.)
thrust (missing one small missile) $32(£16)
Three movie figures $30(£15)


I like hearing about everyone getting good deals. Post the prices you paid!!! You got a great deal on Thrust. And that Unicron is bad a$$. The original orange one I picked up at Goodwill for $3, incomplete. The energon one is WAY cooler.

I paid double that for the orange one. I really like the black one though the orange fist [looks better than the clear one on the orange one] and the colors really work. good deals are hard to find in the Uk (boxed that black unicron is $120 over here. that one is just missing the minicon but I have one for my orange one so they can share that one.).

In USA, we have them for $40 or $50 USD. Shipping that beast to Norway would get pricey, but cheaper than $150!!! My Wal-Mart has 6 of them, I'm waiting for the price to drop even more 8) .

Slag-make a list of the stuff you want, and have someone at the forum in US or UK sent it all in one big box. It might be a big chunk of change, but it will save you $$$ in the long run if prices are really that bad there.

and there's the customs expences.....anything that costs more than 200 NOK(approx $33) gets charged with 50% of the orignal price to reflect what it would cost here in Norway :shock: :cry:

that is if the original price is stated on the boxes! :wink: :twisted:
which TFL dont do BTW :D :D :D

How would customs know how much it costs? For all they know it's a gift.

most of the time when i buy stuff from abroad, only the shipping price is noted on the box...but sometimes there's a tab attached, with what i bought and how much it costs! it mainly happens when insurance is involved.

Elita-1: Is a repaint of an Arcee from a previous toy line.
She is Brown and gray. :cry: The head is more similar to the G1 Arcee character.

So this is what I think.
A) Change Arcee into a Delita-1 and repaint the Elita into a pink Arcee.

B) Buy another Arcee and paint it pink, put a Decepticon sticker on the purple one and call it Delita-1.

I just picked up these Arcees, is the one on the right the arcee your looking for Galvatron.
