She'll change her tune when you cash in on those when the TF movie comes out in a few years.

People will be going ape-shit for TF's after that movie comes out.

...isn't that two of the same toy you already have or did you already have a NYP?

2 more TFCs, didn't have a NYP. But to her, these subtle differences don't mean anything. She thinks it's paying way to much for a different box. That's it.

To a certain degree, she's right.

I'm thinking about going to ikea this weekend to get another bookcase.

I think I've created another Plasti-crack monster, only he's almost 3. His birthday is in March and so far he's getting these Cybertron figures:

Megatron
Jetfire
Vector Prime
Red Alert
Landmine
Scattorshot
Overhaul

The cool thing is that I've only paid $65 total for all of them thanks to clearances & sales.

After a while it becomes: I'm thinking about going house shopping this weekend so I can have another room for my toys.

...Goon...once you get deep into the TF Plasti-crack addiction, dropping $200 on a TFC 00 Prime isn't spending alot of dough it's finding a bargain
This outburst of Primes was quite the unexpected buys.

For Goonie, I'd like to see him catch up with all Alternators with $200 than buy a Prime. For any starting collection, it's always good to see quantity first.

However, I purchased Jetfire & Vector Prime from BBTS and with their sale prices I get 2 figures for less than the one Jetfire from Target. :thumbup:
That's one heck of a deal. Did you see Crumplezone is on sale there too? I think he's a shade under $10.

NYP is drying up. Since everyone looks for the TFC00 and they're too expensive, NYP is a great substitute.

This is also why Soundwave is extremely expensive. People look for TFC10 and don't see a substitute. Soundblaster may be close, but God Ginrai isn't G1 Convoy either.

I know...it's been out for a month, and they just said they'll be filling orders today. I didn't get any notification yet...just speculating that mine should be going out soon.

If you don't see it soon, Andrew and I will drive up a few towns to Wonderlake, IL and bust some heads.

Much props to those who bought MP Voltron. I just can't bring myself to do it. I still have my old, lead base paint, Voltron from when I was a kid and that is enough for me.

My other prized, non-TF item from back in the day...I have a Robotech Scott Bernard Cyclone from the 80's.
