Well...I know some people are going to say "This guy has no chance"
but I just thought I'd throw this out there and see if I catch anything.

I'm chasing a Universe Deluxe Starscream and Universe Deluxe Hound.

I know I know...I missed my chance to pick both these guys up
when I saw them locally...so know I have get on my knees and
pray...Just like in that song...

So yeah...if I have a chance...let me know...
;)

And if I don't...feel free to tell me how stupid I was for not picking
up these toys when I had the chance...

Mate, unfortunately I don't have any of these guys for sale atm... but unless you're specifically looking for the Henkei ones, the Universe equivalent are not that difficult to come by (Starscream in particular).

So there's hope for you yet

EDIT
(Having said that, I had a quick scout on eBay & they both seem to be thin on the ground atm... but RK still has Henkei Screamer in stock for a decent price (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=details&CatType=&II=TFTCSD02&lang=us&CatID=))

I've been searching for Universe figures so I can probally help.
There are a few decent ones on eBay, but it all depends on how much you're willing to pay.
Obviously they won't be as cheap as they were at RRP, but some arn't too bad, I see some MOSC for about US$20 (plus $15 to post here), like this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-TRANSFORMERS-UNIVERSE-STARSCREAM-25TH-ANNIVERSARY_W0QQitemZ320477430277QQcmdZViewItemQQp tZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9df18205

So I suppose the question remains, how much were you looking at paying?

Well...I'd rather pay RRP...but I think the chances of that are pretty slim...

Well, I'm not sure of what the RK shipping prices are, but if they are about $15 as well then yeah, I don't see you paying retail.
At best you'll pay about $10 more unless you get multiple goods from the same seller.

I've been checking around the ebay...
but most sellers seem to be in rip off
mode when it comes to these two guys...
:confused:

Well you are right about those two being tricky to find at a good price, I'm looking for a Hound myself and havn't found one I'm happy with yet.

I think it depends on how much you buy from the one place, if you can find a good seller with a fair bit of stuff you want you can get some good prices all up.

Example, I bought a bunch of universe off one seller, enough that the combined cost + postage equaled out the price to about AU$23 each instead of AU$30-35 if I had of just gotten one by itself.

Its funny you mention that as I just found a guy selling
a 6 pack of Universe deluxe class toys including Screamer
and Hound...
:eek:

Shame I already own 2 of the others in this 6 pack...
