#10 Soundwave $110 (-$10)
#16 Insecticons $45
#18 Soundblaster $90 (-$10)
Sooooo ... instead of the original $460 price, I broke him down another $40 over specific items I felt was over priced. Megtron went down to $105, Soundwave went down to $100 flat, and Soundblaster is at a very good $80.
The entire fact you got close to $500 gave me more leverage on the deal.
I'm trying my best to break the MP-02 Ultra Magnus price. I think $104.99 is the MSRP, so getting under that will be a loss for him.

Those are some good prices. Let me know how far down he will go on that UM. It doesn't have to be under $100.
What's he going to use for shipping? If it's USPS, my mom will end up having to go to the post office to pick it up, and I don't know if she can handle it.

It'll be USPS Priority mail :happysad:
To go from CA to NJ will take about 10 business days UPS. With USPS, it'll take about 3. Ummm ... maybe we could time the shipment to arrive on a Friday or Saturday so you can get it?

That would work. What is the price difference between UPS and USPS? I thought with something this big, UPS is cheaper. If he's using USPS because it's faster, that doesn't really matter to me. Otherwise, timing it to arrive towards the end of the week is good.
I guess it really wouldn't be that huge anyway.

My guess, they'll take the BTA01 head and pop it on a Prowl body.

Anyway, let me know what is up with the shipping and UM. I'll pay tonight once I find out.
I can't see those pictures of the Alt either.
