And the color's aren't nauseating like I originally feared from his pics.

But, as we all know by now, the pics are nothing compared to the actual guys.

EDIT: I just pulled a Crista. :lol:

You can get it shipped from amazon.co.jp [cheapest option]
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-langu ... uage=en_JP
(and it counts as a DVD media item hence you will receive the figure and a japanese ROTF blue ray or DVD. and a stealth EZ [legends] bumblebee)

You could also try BBTS {which has it marked at $250} or ebay.

Great finds everybody!

Just a quick reminder... If you're shopping at WalMart, be sure to use the price checkers!!! There's no definitive list of what they are supposed to markdown after Xmas, sometimes they make mistakes. One WM near my house marked all the ROTF Voyager class toys down to $10, including Bludgeon (which I misssed) and whatchamacallit Ironhide (also Starscream, Prime, Fallen, Longhaul, etc).

I've also seen these deals at several WM since xmas:
Ultra: Silverbolt, Stormcloud: $11.00
Ultra WM exclusives: Powerglide, Skyfall, Hardhead $15.00
Masterpiece Skywarp: $30.00
My heart is die-cast.

After a bloody bidding war of minicons which I lost most of them,
Here are the tropies:

Complete Blackout - $2.7 USD - it really hurts if you consider what I said before - I got the Demolisher at $3.2 USD :oops: and I just got a complete Energon Offshoot at $1.3USD :roll: . However given that it may be the only chance I can get it in near future I have to go.
Image

Complete Bonecrusher - $1.67 USD
Image

Wreckage witout missiles - a little comfort - $0.13 USD :lol:
Image

You may think I'm too mean as a TF player, but you know, it's always happy to get the best price as possible......

And one lost item - I can't see it worths $8.6 USD - more than some losse Deluxe TFs in Armada here!

@Minerva:

I was going to post "No.", but my boss gave me a small New Year's bonus yesterday, so I was able to follow the impulse to buy Powerglide when I saw him at a different WM today.

I haven't opened him yet, though. I still think his bot mode is mighty ugly.

The main problem with Powerglide is that the robot mode makes him a tad top-heavy. With al the electronic gimmicks stored in his upper body, the guys heavier than most TFs his size. Also, (on mine, at least) the right leg likes to push back up a tad, making the legs look different lenght and throwing off the balance. Other than that it's a neat figure well worth picking up IMO.
