'Tis the eHobby way

[dirge]

e-Hobby packaging is often fairly generic, and not toy specific. However since these toys represent the same characters as the standard Encores, they've just used the existing packaging.

I can understand why - it keeps the production cost down on these low-production-run figures. And when you consider that e-Hobby toys sell for retail prices, that saving is passed on to the buyer.

Those 6 eHobby's must have set you guys back a goddamn fortune!

[dirge]

Nah, Pulse. Picked them up for about $55-60 each. I have a friend in Japan who pre-ordered them on my behalf. He actually sent eight, the others were picked up from work (I have a PO box near work) by Klownkiller.

Oh , in that case I wonder why BBTS jacks up their prices so high?

I'd say they are likely to pay more than I do, because they're probably paying import duties. Of course, they have to pay their bills and take some money home to feed the kids and such.

In that context, their prices aren't all that bad. BTW, in 12 months, you'd be lucky to find either toy on eBay for less than $100US.

I got Jetfire from DJ's the other week for $50. I'll post pic later.

I'm having lots of fun with this one.

Spotlight: Grimlock.

Was lucky as they were putting him out on the shelf as I walked in, and Phantomzone Chatswood do not normally restock until Friday morning. (had to go in today to get MarioKart).
