Which on the cross rates is closer to $4. But hey, we all know about BBTS exorbitant prices, right?

Good service, though. Good service costs money - look at the PC hardware retailers.

Reminds me of MSY. They have really cheap prices but their customer service is non-existant.

This is why I'm getting the Henkei ones too, because of the limited-window, even though I'm not sure I need them.

Is there something I'm not getting?

He likes the characters, so he wants to get them for that.
Or he might be afraid that he will warm up to the mould and start to love it, so if that happens he will have to pay through the teeth for them, so if he does it now, he won't pay as much (supposedly). Should he start to like it, great, he saved some money, if he doesn't, and he really doesn't like them, then he could probably sell them.

Yeah, I can understand collecting toys for the characters even if you may not necessarily like the toy. That's my view toward Animated! :p

I am a character collector so I have lots of toys which technically suck but I love due to the characer.


...However when I think about it; the rule on that is changing a bit as I have picked up bad toys with no characterisation that for some reason 'sung' to me (eg Quickswitch). I also picked up lots of characters that I did not care about or had very little to no characterisation mainly because I had already completed all the figures that I wanted from that line (Beast Wars non show characters). However for lines which I have completed by character such as Beast Wars I only buy the other toys when the opportunity arises and are cheap, I don't actively seek them out.

I really hope these aren't busted arse like Henkei Thundercracker.

Meanwhile this year alone good stores like Secretnet, Pluscorp and Nintek have gone down the tubes.

I have also noticed Acidstorm having fairly loose peg holes compared to the original Starscream release. I am convinced that this due to gradual mold deterioration due to excesive use.

My Acid Storm's joints are a little bit floppy... but not too bad. I don't have any major issue with weapons looseness on my Acid Storm or Skywarp either - just Thundercracker. *shrug*
