Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

For those of you who have bought 3rd party stuff direct from igear's online shop, how long did the free shipping take? And did you get a tracking number?

A bit long ago for me to remember specifics, but I do remember being surprised it reached me as quickly as it did - but as a rule I always assume it's going to take ages, so I'm more often pleased, and more easily. I don't remember a tracking number at all.

I don't recall a tracking number but I have ordered twice from them direct and both came within 2 weeks

What is a good price for Encore Bruticus and Encore Optimus prime?

I have a suspicion that theyve skipped wave 2 of the voyagers. I'll do some digging around when i'm back at work on Tuesday

Had a quick look at Kmart today.
No Prime or Generations Voyagers listed on new TF layouts. Only Generation 2 packs and Deluxe figures to compliment BH.
Prime Weaponizers on clearance meaning no further orders.
Tomorrow Toyworld et al

How does Hasbro MP Skywarp fit in with the MP-11 mold. I have MP-11 and TRU TC and am wondering whether Skywarp will fit in with the other 2.

Did kmart even have the wave 1 voyagers? I thought it was just Myer and Target, IIRC.

What is a good price for Encore Bruticus and Encore Optimus prime?

In my personal opinion:
Encore Convoy --> $55
Encore Bruticus --> $85

I especially wouldn't recommend paying too much for Bruticus as that toy suffers from QA issues. Encore Convoy is supposedly a fairly good toy, with retooling done to improve on the original mould... so some might argue that it's worth paying double its original price (I personally wouldn't, but that's JMO ).

I haven't seen them at that price. Obviously ebay prices are inflated. Where else would i find them?

Now that i think about it, i dont believe that they did. Only recent voyagers were Prime Optimus, Megatron, Starscream and Bulkhead

Encore Op goes for about $140 shipped in most stores.
I honestly think it's almost worth that.
Anywhere I CAN find it for $55 though? That's a bargain in my eyes...
