Thanks for concern dude, I wasn't aware of that. Although I wouldn't expect bbts to sell a repro and not make clear that was the case. I trust pgt's honesty and I often rely on thehandsomecrab's advice when buying expensive TF . If that was something I'd need to be concerned about, I'm sure he would have brought it up when he sent me the link.Quote:

You're absolutely right, thanks man. :)Quote:

Nice scores there Karni and Hursti.

Oh well. It's your money and as long as you're happy with your purchase then good for you. :)
They were at Coles? The only place I ever saw them was at Clint's Crazy Bargains for $5 a figure (along with the overpriced Universe 2003 deluxes and unmoving Attacktix figures).Quote:

Imported from Robotkingdom, a case of Preview wave Prime deluxes.

They were also at Woolworths. From memory they were being sold for approx. $7-$8.Quote:

Many thanks for the comments too about Scorpy, I still look at him with a big grin on my silly dial every time. :p:D
Wow! :eek:Quote:

Cheers dude! :DQuote:

I had to lol at the use of the poster, but a massive congrats man; such an incredibly awesome figure regardless of it's paint work! ;):DQuote:
