Grimlock = short packed. He's not evenly distributed in case assortments at all. If you see a Starscream, you'd might want to get him too.

Alternator Mirage = never, ever ever ever going to see that guy. He's $70 on eBay due to his low distribution rate.

Alternator Rumble / Ravage = still never seen those in a store. I've been looking for over 5 weeks now.

eBay just banned the sale of unmodified Megatrons.

this goes for ALL Megatrons including anything G1 (microman, ehobby, takara, hasbro) and the MP-05.

Congrats, your investments just increased in value.

I heard about this and tore though anything that had his name on it. Something of interest I found was this:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140098812797 (link taken down minutes after the screen cap)

The shooter purchased items used in the killings on eBay. It's not a mystery why these are now under hard regulation.

This creates quite an interesting market, that's for sure. If eBay is cracking down, who is to say that online retailers (expecting a second shipment) won't be effected?

eBay is a major player in the US, I'm sure the government isn't too far behind on investigating what's on eBay's banned list, and where it's still available today. Now, not only available, but how the heck did it get in the US to begin with?

So, no more Megatrons with an tidal wave of new fandom arriving July 4th. This will be interesting.





But how to get that product sold ... hmm ... let me think.
