    with ems shipping it comes out to be $216.54. All which will have to be paid right now. I think I will stick with BBTS.

    I think for me robot kingdom after shipping for both sets came to 201 and some change so its actually a pretty good deal amount cheaper. But at the same time bbts gives you the option to cancel after the pics are shown and you decided you don't want them. I went for it cause i'm a big collector of the clear molds.

    I think we were both finding the shipping cost as you replied to me and I edited my post.

    BBTS shipping costs I don't even count, with the pile of loot I'm building these sets would probably just add cents to the shipping cost.

    Yep, I know I won't be cancelling them either, so I guess just waiting on switching... probably...

    As a translucents collector looking at the original Classics line molds:

    Voyager Optimus-has a translucent version
    Deluxe Optimus-has a translucentversion
    Starscream-has a translucent version
    Rodimus-has a translucent version
    Mirage-has a translucent version(well, 2)

    That's almost half the line with translucent repaints.

    We just need translucent versions of:
    Jetfire (ice version perhaps?)
    Voyager Megatron (purple reformatting could work)
    Deluxe Megatron
    Astrotrain
    Bumblebee
    Grimlock

    and Ramjet if counting remolds

    Shipping with PoL is like another 1.80$ in BBTS. Yeah, its 10-40 bucks more expensive. But with superior customer service (I guess this is subjected to opinion, but my experience with them versus RK says so. Not that RK have bad CS, but BBTS has AMAZING CS.) , and the ability to cancel until they have the item, I think its the better deal. They also take care of you if your product has damaged parts, etc, a lot easier than other stores.

    I daresay I like this six-pack more than the vast majority of Botcon sets.
