    Doesn't a fellow board member from Indonesia got a bunch of them? I wonder if BBTS bought him out?

    :lol  I know, I'm afraid I'll have to declare bankruptcy. Luckily I'm not much of a gambler at all so that helps a TINY bit.

    I'll be on the lookout for Fatburger! Anything that sounds that unhealthy has to be delicious! :)

    I'd say go for it if you don't have it. I got mine for 128 shipped on the initial run of 2000. Great figure.

    Hmmm. I've hear it's a good figure, but not $75 good. At least for me. I know it's like a limited edition type figure, but...

    That's just higher than what I paid for it off ebay when it first got released. Not bad.

    I just had Fatburger for lunch. yum.

    $75 ... Too bad. I have seen it in real life and it is a neat toy.... but $75 for a Has-Tak deluxe (not FP) is too much.

    I was fortunate enough to get one for free + shipping up here when they were being given away in Canada, a bro hooked me up on Cybertron.ca. He is a pretty rad figure and has a really cool and unique transformation. It is sad that these never hit mass retail.

    There's only 10 left now. I watched Vangelus' review on it and it pushed me over the fence. His transformation is cool and considering his "semi-grailish" nature and rarity, I just couldn't pass him up. I figured somewhere down the road I would regret passing him up so I bit the bullet.

    Given that Swerve was a GM promotional toy only given away/sold in England and Canada in limited quantities, that's not a bad price. At it's zenith, it was commanding well over $100 and in some cases approaching $200.

    I was fortunate enough to get one from a guy in England off Ebay for a very reasonable price ($50 ish dollars plus shipping).

    If you don't have this guy and can afford him, don't think twice! Get him!
    He's one of my all-time favorites.

    This is one of the few figures that "got away". I had 2 chances to this guy for almost nothing, and didnt pull the trigger. Been kicking myself since. Every time I read, see, come across, or hear about this figure - I feel like a tool for not getting it when I could.
