I called the store and they said it is $50. :eek:Quote:

$10 on clearance maybe.
$50 for a deluxe.... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L
Tell 'em they're dreamin' :p
HLJ price for LG-10 was ¥2,800 ($33 AUD approx) but recently discontinued.
Any other stuff worth mentioning at TRU? :) They were pretty short on TFs last time I was there.
well it's around that price on ebay. i think the cheapest was 52 from toy_story_world .
So pricing wise it's not that bad.
Oh TRU you rapscallions! You know i'm only gonna buy this on closeout! Just make it easier on yourself and discount it now!
I'm getting flashbacks to the Trypticon closeout now... :pQuote:

I'd pay 50 for a takara legends windblade.
My jaw just hit the desk, that is ridiculous, I found these everywhere while I was in Singapore not to mention even with shipping you could import these way cheaper!
Finally! I wasn't sure if Hasbro was going ahead with releasing this toy because at the end of last year Hasbro AU contacted me saying that they were unable to secure any samples of this toy (and thus didn't have one to give to me). I ended up buying one off Acesan at PopCon at a far more respectable price of $35. :o
Not entirely 'random'. ;)Quote:

Cos if they're willing to shell out $50 for a G1 coloured Deluxe Bayformer, then surely it'd be justifiable for those people to do likewise for a G1-accurate redeco of a Classicsverse toy. #wherearetheynowQuote:

I'd say it's random since the other thread you linked states it should have been here like 6 months ago. ;)Quote:
