    Really need a new Ravage, and I never had those two Autobot cassettes. I guess I'll purchase a set.

    Huge markup on the encores, 28.99 USD for each figure? Will probably have to shift my supplier to HLJ or fantofan instead of BBTS.

    I wasnt trying to find it cheaper I was just wondering why their so expensive they're about the size of legend figures at best from what I can remember about the tapes. And looking at bbts preorder page the henkie legends three pack are both around $25-$30 so why are four tapes going for $50.

    They're more collector driven. The Tapes are a little taller than the Legends (but tend to be thinner). It may also have to do with the diecast present in two of the four.

    e-Hobby's Cobalt Sentry was about $17 to $20 when it was released, so about $40 makes sense. :)
