Some nice stuff there. Artfire is very tempting.

I grabbed an Ultimate Giftset for $20. Shipping (as part of my POL) was only $12. Bargain for 2 deluxes and 2 Legends, even though I already have TC.

Oooh.. some nice things there for sure. I hope the postage won't kill it.

They're going to be flogging those things off till the end of time.

I think there's more Piranacons in circulation then there are TF fans.

Apart from where mold degradation has affected peg hole functionality it's a bloody awesome toy. Just goes to show how much marketing and presentation can affect toy sales, even to a market with arguably more 'refined' tastes such as collectors.

That or they really do just have a crapload of them

I see they have YOTS Optimus $15 cheaper than it is in the stores here, though with postage it would work out about the same.

But then I don't want the damn thing either way

231 at last count, which is a lot less than they had a year ago, over 1000...

Even the more highly sought after G1 TFs can shelfwarm for ages if they're overproduced. God Ginrai was a great example of this. I remember seeing specialty import stores in Sydney trying to flog them off for $20 each!

I think i payed $34-$35 for my Piranacon the 17th time they had him on clearance. I feel so cheated
