So why are Cybertron Scourge & Leobreaker fetching decent $$$ on eBay now? :thinking: And where the F is Wing Saber?!?!?

I just went to Meijer & Target with hopes of finding the Jolt/Reverb/Six-Speed minicon set. :hs:

He's a main character that was never shipped during his popular period.

LeoBreaker is a side effect of Mudflap clogging shelves.

For every case of 4, $20 figures there would be:
(1) Evac
(1) Leobreaker
(2) Mudflap

Everyone would always yank the Evac and Leobreaker first leaving behind Mudflap ... a character BARELY used on TV.

When the store would restock ...

(1) Evac
(1) Leobreaker
(2) Mudflap
(2) Mudflap (existing)

Evac and Leobreaker would go. Leaving behind 4 Mudflaps.

So .. .Leobreaker = popular figure, main character, never seen because of Mudflap.

Last I saw, those pull about $80 shipped.

(let us know how that goes) :run:

well. some news ...
- TF Classics Prime and Megatron were found in D.C. @ a "Fred Meyers"
- TF Classics Starscream, Bumblebee, Astrotrain, and Hot Rod hit the west coast
- MP03 Starscream was RELEASED.
- MP04 Convoy (w. Trailer) was RELEASED.
- WST Dinobots Grimlock and Slag (?) is not shipping from TFSource

I really want the classics. I need an MP03 badly. I wouldn't mind an MP04 ... but that $170 price tag is making me cry.

:hs: I didn't make it back over to the Meijer but I'm sure the Scourges will still be there. I did stop at TRU to check out what was there for the "buy 2 get 1 free" sale. Sadly it had been picked clean except for 4 Red Alerts, 4 or 5 C.D. Red Alerts, 2 Mudflaps, 3 or 4 Nemesis Breakers, and 2 C.D. Scattorshot.

Those TF Classics are going to kill me. For the sake of my bank account I hope I don't see them anytime soon. :run:
