    BBTS Botcon sale.

    Think I might finally get that Dark Energon Voyagers for $30. Or wait, were they ever $25? If they were $25 and I still passed at one point then I'm not getting them. I'll have to investigate that.

    And last year's Botcon set loose for $200 is almost tempting enough to buy, but still probably not. It's also kind of funny. Man, I wish I could find a 2010 set for that price, I'd be all over it.

    I actually really like Dark Energon Optimus, the colors look really nice in hand

    That "I can't believe it's not the constructicons!" Set they have on clearance looks amusing

    Arcee's pale swords answer the question of what I can do with Armada Starscream's unused swords.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. My plans to sell off Henkei Megatron and keep my Hegemon v2 preorder waver only slightly.

    I will, however, be selling off ultra Powerglide and getting this new legends one.

    Keeping my older Windcharger. (Why not just reissue that one? It's perfect.)

    Shame about Cliffjumper's head. Still buying.

    ZOMG BOMBSHELL

    BOMG BRAINSTORM

    Little wary about that stumpy looking voyager Optimus.

    If I seriously have to buy a five-pack of AoE figures to get Evasion Optimus with the right face, I'm totally going to give Ninja Bumblebee's pentagrams to Crosshairs and repaint him into a John Constantine crossover.

    That Voyager Optimus looks like butt from a butt's butt. It doesn't look anything like IDW Optimus unless I recently underwent severe head trauma of which I am not aware.

    Anybody want to split an $80 Sharkticon set three ways? I kinda want one for Scoria to step on, but I don't want to pay for three.

    Kiiiiiiiiiinda?

  • HeatwaveHeatwave Come, now, and walk the path of explosions with me!Registered User regular
    Arcee looks like a shellformer will a huge backpack, but I still want. Chromia's bot mode, aside from the huge backpack, looks sweet. Brainstorm's a must buy too, but I do wish he came with his IDW briefcase. Leader Megatron look kinda meh to me and his arm cannon restricts his elbow movement. Also Voyager Prime looks like ass

    All this probably doesn't matter though because Australia will probably miss a lot of these because retailers here are dumb

    Yeah if it's only one Sharky I have to pay for I'll take one. Don't care which.

    I wonder if I can get the Botcon Kreon set for less than the $70 it's going for right now. Wouldn't mind getting a few of those.

    Better than last year's "who the fuck cares about Machine Wars?" set.

    Street Sharks was the best. I wanted a toy from that series - any one, really, but I would have preferred Streex because he was on roller blades - so bad, you don't even know. Never did get one.

  • Forever ZefiroForever Zefiro cloaked in the midnight glory of an event horizonRegistered User regular
    dude, Street Sharks

    JAWESOME

    and another classic, Biker Mice From Mars

    I miss the 90s

    Oh hey I could get the Botcon attendee stuff at the TFCC store.

    Hmm, the Kreon set is $49 and they actually have a cheap shipping option.

    Hmmmmmmmmm. Not really interested in anything else at the asking price though.

  • 143999143999 Tellin' ya not askin' ya, not pleadin' with yaRegistered User regular
    Okay, this Mania King repaint is some bullshit.

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    Oh. Ok yeah I might have to bite on that. That deco looks really good.

    First versions owners sure are pissed though.

    Okay, quick. You're in LAX. They have one of those Universal Studios stores. Evacs for sale, but like $25. What do you do?

    8aVThp6.png
  • Forever ZefiroForever Zefiro cloaked in the midnight glory of an event horizonRegistered User regular
    I would probably buy it and then regret it later and never touch it again

    Mania King looks cool, but I'm going to wait for the enviable Takara MP Galvatron. I may take years though.

    Also Has/Tak needs to make a generations Nautica to go with Arcee, Chomia and Windblade. I must have them all!

    Well it's mainly for the other figure they put out. They might even put out a gift set.

    Also Quantron preorders up at $400 at the usual places, which is early bird pricing.

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    Also Amazon has AoE figures at certain percentages off, but I believe all of them also have a secret 25% off discount that only shows up at checkout in the order summary page. But the price to get free shipping applies before that extra percentage is taken off, so you can get both Evasion Prime and Voyager Grimlock for about $30 shipped. Or other stuff if you want.
