    I don't think they are KO's Griffin. If they are, this is the first time I have seen 2007 movie packaging KO'd to that degree. It doesn't make sense.

    It is possible that they were made, stored in a warehouse, and not released at the time.

    I'd go with that. I'd say that they were made, but then no stores wanted to shelve them as they wern't new toys, and those others from energon, etc did shelf warm, so the stores passed on these.

    I just don't see why anyone would sit on them for 2 years, unless the moving of production out of China is prompting the Chinese factories to clear out/throw out anything they had stored away for TFs.

    Still doesn't make me feel any better about paying 4 times what others are paying for these...

    Maybe they are just getting rid of inventory and the guys that get supplied / do supply with the factory leaks are hooking up to make it happen.

    Dodged a bullet - phew...
    Someone actually outbid me in the last five minutes, so now I can be a bit more patient and see if more show up to bring the price down. There are 8 now on ebay, cashing in on the $100+ sale prices (the people selling them bought them for $20-25 each).
    Unfortunately, all this the publicity may mean these could now be rather expensive from now on - none seem to be selling for under $100 now.

    Congrats 1orion2many! More money = more toys

    I'm expecting a raise in June however this will be off-set by the arrival of a new bub in September. It's a good problem to have though.
