Ok... I am still building up my collections.. I am not like those TF professionals who get the whole room or even the whole garage to store so many Transformers models that they can buy and sell them easily.
Also, the reason i buy them is because of the sentimental values in them. It represents more than a toy for me.. That is all.
Everyone has his/her own perspective.. So yours is not necessarily mine and vice versa. I also do not want to argue or discuss in terms of perspective.
Yeh it's a shame that those of us that went for it missed out. Would have looked nice in my masterpiece display. But I always knew it would be a long shot given how desirable that figure is combined with the crazy price it was going for on ebay. Hope those lucky few that are VIP's at PC that manage to secure one are happy with it. Nothing else left to be said on the matter.
Micfox, you were chasing a rare, hard to find item that is much sought after by fellow collectors, casual and hardcore. The market for TF Masterpieces is getting bigger. The TT website practically crashed. That was a sure sign that getting a figure would be tough.
It's disappointing for sure. But don't let this experiece sour your hobby of collecting Masterpieces in general. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I suggest bringing your expectations a little down to Earth. Your chances were slim. At least the TT website had the courtesy of stopping orders when stock ran out. Unlike a certaim TRU sale recently *cough*![]()
What's with the hype around EVA Prime? What's driving it?
^or many will bite at 400bucks for this guy but wont at around 500...
Absolutely kick ass redeco. Two popular properties with die hard fans.
Glad I got mine for about $340 in December 2014 (from pre-orders in mid 2014?). As I recall, nexusnixx offered a further opportunity later that month (Dec 2014) for some stock at $400 a unit but from the thread it didn't seem as though anyone was interested.
Glad I bought one. Looks incredible on shelf.
It's because you can't have one. When I got mine there where plenty available. A lot of people where carrying on about the colours and how it was ugly. I ordered one anyway even though it was expensive for a masterpiece. Then it was sold out and you couldnt have it. So they wanted it
