    Trying to figure out whether to get UW Defensor or not.

    No matter where I get him from it seems that he will be over $200AU before shipping which is a helluva lot It's the reason I cancelled my preorder with BBTS. I dont mind paying that for Devastator who is made up of 6 Voyagers but this is 5 characters and 4 of them only deluxe sized.

    On the other hand, I've got the CW and UW versions of Superion, Devastator and Menasor (so I can have the individual bots displayed as well as the combined modes) so it would seem odd for Defensor to be left out.

    Any advice?

    Perhaps you could sell off the UW or CW versions of the other combiners and save yourself some coin?
    My reasoning is, do you really need two sets of each figure?

    Well I've never bought doubles of figures in 30 years of collecting, this is really the first time. Hence why I want UW Defensor, to finish off the display

    In that case then, I'd say that the decision has already been made

    I would say something myself but I would literally be quoting Sinnertwin word for word.

    Heh - well I figured out I spent $25 a day on smokes and I haven't smoked for 4 days so that's $100 saved right there. If I can go another week that's the cost of Defensor plus postage so maybe I'll treat myself then

    HOLY CRAP! how did you ever afford food! let alone plastic?

    I think if you can go a whole fortnight without smokes then a defensor is a good reward.

    make it 6 months and you could just about justify an ultimetal optimus prime.
