The best way to defend yourself is of course chemical warfare, Baked Beans and Eggs:D, You just walk around the house leaving little pockets of nothing around, that way when they try and sneak up on you they hit one of these happy clouds, you hear the gagging and WALAH, you are pre-warned of the imminent attack and can hide until they have calmed down.:D:DQuote:

What's the price for Lucky Draw figures normally?
Technically free right?
Are they not "won" from an entry into a competition of sorts?
trunks is right, you don't pay for them - you win them for free!
That's how I got my lucky draw silver chrome Bluestreak! :D
http://www.geocities.com/planetsabre...comic_tc14.jpg <---cost me $0! :D
(well, I had to pay for those Jedi, but the Transformer was free :p)
Okay, maybe I should clarify, how much should one pay for Lucky Draw figures?Quote:

So while I'm happy to receive these things for free I personally wouldn't go out of my way to pay for one. I would not pay for Chrome-Streak if I didn't have him and I have no intention of getting gold-Meister or any other lucky draw TF.
*searches for "Transformers lucky draw" on ebay*
Okay... here the search results.
Prices range from about US$250 to US$1000 depending on which figure! As our former monorator would say, "Ggrrr!"
And I thought retail prices here were unreasonable.
Yeah but to be fair these toys were never available for retail sale and non-retail Transformers will typically fetch higher after-market prices (e.g.: mail-away exclusives, convention exclusives, e-Hobby exclusives et al.).
...alas... Time Warrior will cost me a fair penny. :/
I'm inclined to agree. Fair point! Also, while we're on topic of how much would you pay...check this outQuote:

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY?
For lucky draw figures, it's a seller's market to a large extent. Pay what you're willing to pay, I guess.
& then there are people like this guy... :)Quote:

I know the person selling those. Sadly he is asking too much.
What's a good price to get the two Movie Blasters (Prime & Starscream) for? The ones with the projectiles? I saw marked down for $30 today. Seems a lot.
Marked down for $30?? These went on sale last Christmas to $20.Quote:

Yep. The Animated Prime one. Just be aware also that the firing mechanism can stuff up and they will not fire anymore. My Prime is still fine but two of my nephews it has failed on and my Starscream's firing mechanism is on the way out.Quote:

Is that price for real? Or is he dreaming? Item ID : 170277531906
I'd say dreaming...:eek:Quote:

EDIT: For that price he could have taken a better photo. He makes it look like a KO.:rolleyes:
i'm sure Toyworld Southland will have them on sale back again soon.
i believe it was $15 then....
Yer I find that very annoying. People obviously set up their auctions on ebay with the intention to sell, but they take dodgy, crappy photos and expect potential buyers to have night vision / image enhancing goggles. Is it really that hard to flick on a light or take the picture when the sun is still out?Quote:

I paid $75 AUD for my BT Wheeljack. $249 would make a nice profit margin.
anything under $90US is a good price for a sealed one
I've never been to Southland, but when this price comes, I'll surely find my way there!:)Quote:

that $215 Skywarp I found at the CBD is still pretty expensive..:(
