Wow! The cheapest I saw MP Rodimus get marked down to was $60! :eek: It initially retailed for $80 -- at least, that's how much I paid for at TRU.

I don't think he's hinting at having bought MP Rodimus for $20 but rather that's how much MP Sideswipe should retail for given the size difference ;) :p

Oh right, I see. :) To be fair, I think this toy should be more complex than an average Deluxe -- so probably $40 is a fairer price. Alternities retailed for about $50-55, which I've always felt was too much (considering that Binaltechs retailed at that range). But given that alternities do retail at that level, $50-55 might be acceptable. The pre-order price is $68, and apparently you get the exclusive chrome piledrivers with it.

I picked up HMP hotrod for 50 on sale at TRU(i thought that was insanely cheap!) then 2 weeks later he was discounted even further. this was only a few months ago

and yeah, i was just thinking about the price diff between TMP Hotrod and HMP Hotrod and then applying it to Sideswipe. It will most likely not happen but....:rolleyes:
[

The preorders for Sideswipe/Red Alert are 58.90 at RK, (which was cheaper than I thought, I seem to recall them being just over $80 before).

Apparently there's an amazon jp exclusive with exclusive pile drivers? Anyone know how to order it and what the price difference will be to say regular to price ($59)?

Well that's easy for me - I'm not paying $20 for some chrome pile drivers that I would attach to a figure once and then put in a plastic baggy.

If anyone is interested:)

This usually means Amiami and Anime Export etc will be even cheaper, but HLJ still has their 20% off EMS shipping, so...

For anyone who may have missed it... Obviously the Amazon exclusive jackhammers arn't included.
