Well we shouldn't be throwing the term "scalping " around as if anything priced higher than the BEST PROMOTION in town = scalping.

Scalped means priced waaay beyond estimated retail. he just want to make a tiny profit from the promotion.. especially on those in the outskirts with no access to TRU. that's fair enuff.


the only ridiculous part would be the COD. if want $$$ prior to COD..might as well don't COD. lol.

yea saw em too.... i guess its a "directive" from local distributor to make the retailers put out some and then keep some when its first reach out shores. If all the stocks are replenished on the shelves as soon as they're grabbed... the "limited edition" effect will rosak and sales will be affected.

OP always reminded me of a runaway character from Disney Cars able to make it in another segment of cartoon we used to love now. Now the photo above proves it. its missing eyes on the car windshield LOL.

Definitely taking cue from TF Animated Prime. With such a kibble on his back.... HOW did he sleep at night?

LOL with each haul... the price of the meja usang increase a bit.

3 Autobots went into a bar.... some fembot offered them drinks and they passed out.... the next morning.. they found out they were spiked.

this is how Beast Hunter started.

YEP.... if you learn the pattern of (TF) toy distributions all these years... u will just chill when others keep yelling "limited edition" in their ebay auction or in forum . There's nothing to fear actually. if the demand good... Hasbro as any other $$$-making entity.. will be happy to produce more .

Screw the "FE" or "limited edition" label. Im having fun hunting casually than kancheongly /desperately.

No pay electric bill?

...and equally number of Primes to handle their menace.

Kreo's further markdown in Ikano TRU.

- Meg now rm95 (previous was rm110)
- Sentinel prime rm100 (previous was 120)
- Ratchet rm50 ( previous was rm60 - 65 i think)

... but Encik Optimus Perdana doesnt seemed to happy there.

Thats not sunstreaker! That's sideswipe another halfbrother called....

what use is a roller without trailer?

BIB? kena raped punya King Grimmy not worthy of such price. dah ternoda dont hope to priced on par/more expensive that initial retail. Down with the scaplers!!

when such sucky stuff came out.. I always assume its Hasbro/Taktom interns punya kerja. suddenly such output doesnt match with the rest of the offerings (in terms of mould, color scheme). But this ripclaw seems like a merge of BW in G2 colors.

First Edition was thought to be "limited"... the word "First" apparently being misleading coz I saw them again and again in between waves and suddenly re-appear during xmas seasons .

Any changes at the backside of Omega? Perhaps its just not repainted but rep*nt*t as well. LOL.

APS = Absolutely Price Scalping

Yea and should I say one of the most interesting engineered 3rd party TF in recent years. But too bad it took a penalty on the overall asthetics. if there's only a single improvement I hope they can make over this figure, it would be a proper abs. seems like this current one, the pelvis connects immediately to the chest with no abs in between. Im sure they can do it , if they managed to reach this far in designing.

Omega's *ehem* size seemes to be exagerrated in the boxart, well from that angle anyway. worth the price for box(art) collectors.
