Very, very nice I'm still waiting on Artfire, and would like a Pyro/Spark/Botcon 2010 boxset without having to pay eBay prices.

As for Hot Spot, you may want to keep an eye on TRU US (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...prodFindSrc=rv). I got all 3 GDO Voyagers for $30 a piece after shipping

Eeehhh... not yet convinced that I want Hot Spot. I initially just wanted Classicsverse Inferno and Grapple. I got Pyro because it's cheaper than getting an original that's likely to fall apart on me (having said that, Pyro cost me $80, making him my most expensive exclusive toy [and one of the most expensive toys I've ever paid for in relative terms (i.e. compared to RRP)). I got Artfire for similar reasons... I'm not willing to pay the aftermarket prices for the G1 toy - $62 for United Artfire is a much more agreeable alternative.

But Hot Spot... I dunno. I already have G1 Hot Shot, and I don't feel the urge to have him in my Classicsverse collection. I already have enough versions of this mould. If he were a new mould like Silverbolt and Onslaught I'd definitely get him, but as a retool/repaint... eh. Maybe if he's still cheap when I've got nothing else to save up for or buy (currently still saving for Encore Fort Max!)

Did you get Stepper too?

Nah, I didn't bother preordering it because I already have reissue G1 Stepper, and I'm really not that big a fan of the RtS Jazz mould (the non-locking chest thing really bugs me), so I passed it and I haven't been able to find one at a price that I'm willing to pay ($50 is the most I've ever paid for an exclusive Deluxe). The cheapest Stepper I found was for about $70-80ish in Japan last year... for a Deluxe?!? Pppfftt... easy pass. Sure, in hind sight I wish I'd preordered Stepper and just gotten him at the original RRP (4700JPY/AU$51)... but I didn't know at the time that they would do a United Artfire later. If I could predict the future, I'd retire and win every Lotto game. So all things considering, I'm happy with what I've got.
