:goodjob:

The plastic tie is extremely hard to see on the Blue UM. It's wrapped around the legs (near the gas tank) and between the smoke stacks. It's very hidden.

I just don't see what i'm looking for in the yellow UM auction.

Andrew: Look. JDM Megalo Convoy. $19.99 + $28 shipping from Japan.

JP: I don't need that. I'll just wait for the US release.

Andrew: The US release won't have this little, metal, to scale, Cybertron Prime. It only comes in the JDM one.

JP: I'll still just wait for the US Version.

(run to computer, place bid)

$25.77 + $28.00 S&H and that JDM Cybertron Megalo Convoy with the special little figure is mine. :happysad:

I did a completed listing search. I'm the 2nd lowest purchase price. Everone else is paying around $70 shipped. I guess it isn't so bad.

Now I don't need to buy the US version. The problem is that I said the same thing about Primus. I got the JDM one, so now I don't need to buy the USDM one. BUT...the USDM one has a chase variant that comes packaged with a Unicron Head, so I'm screwed.



I just placed my order for the chase variant at BBTS. The local Targets, Walmarts, & TRUs already suck at stocking the new releases. Trying to hunt down a chase variant is going to be f-ing impossible.

Jeez, the clear tapes are up on ebay already... and with some better pictures. This will probably give some indication of what people are willing to pay for them.

Everyone stay clear of an e-bay seller called liqdeal.

He sells Korean made TF's, at what appears to be good prices. He doesn't invest in proper shipping boxes. He cuts together free USPS priority boxes and wraps them around the item. He uses no packing material. I posted the results of his packing methods in an earlier post.

I've contacted him about my damaged item, and he doesn't see anything wrong with the way he ships out orders. He doesn't care about keeping potential repeat customers satisfied.

I also think that he overcharges for FED EX Ground shipping.

If you order from this guy, you always take a chance on your item arriving in good shape. He sucks for MISB collectors.

Tell other TF collectors to be cautious with this seller.

^ Yep. A couple years ago (?) those constructicons were released at Walmart as a four piece set. They were yellow.
