Shit ... that's right.

I wonder if they make the Prime bodies in bulk, and make specialized bits (windows, heads, feet, etc)

You have TFC's 00-20 ... almost 3 times over. :chuckles:

Hmmm...

My name is JP. I'm Andrew's brother. Because of my real-world proximity to the Dealer, I've been caught up in the TF Plasti-Crack addiction. I was pushed into complete stage 5 addiction in October of 2005. Since then I've re-arranged my area three times, my bookshelves no longer hold books, I've put in additional shelving, put a 40-year-old virgin style shelf across the top of my closet.

I've toned down my "I need to have doubles" itch. The Cybertron line is going to be my downfall because I've got it in my head that I need every figure. Keep in mind that every new addition to the collection brings about the question: "Where the hell am I going to put this?".

I'll think long and hard about spending $100 on an external HDD that I really need, but won't think twice about dropping $120 on a KO Optimus Prime with red feet.

Alrighty then. I'm Chris and the only reason I buy Transformers is because I'm going thru my quarter-life-crisis and I feel the need to buy toys. I don't even know who or what Optimus Prime is. :dunno:



:hsughr:



Seriously though, my collection mainly consists of G1 stuff. I have the TRU reissues, some random Takara reissues, a few Alternators, and a couple Cybertron guys.

For the new guy from the other board...

I neither currently own and never in the past owned either a Honda or an Acura. My staggering 1,200+ post count on this board is due to the TF thread.

That ummm....energon extraction unit... drew in some good bids! Congrats!

Just curious, was the final sales price good? I wouldn't even know what the retail price of that...energon extraction unit...would be.

I really have no idea. It was free money since my wife got it as a gift about 3 years ago.

There's 29 people watching my TFC 0 auction. :eek3:

Default Redfoot news and tapes pricing update

From SOC:

"Yes the red footed version can be group purchased. Let me know how many you want. If it's more than what I can currently offer, I'll have to put in another request. The price is the same as the other primes.

Also, I made a calculation error in the cassettes price. I forgot about import taxes. It has to be at least $12 or I'll be losing money on each one I sell. Sorry about the confusion."

LMK an updated want list for the tapes, if the extra buck matters to you.

The extra buck for the tapes isn't an issue for me. However, he now has to make me a G1 Soundwave with accurate G1 packaging to make up for his calculation error. h:
