Seriously? $37.95 is no where near the "cheapest" price. IT'S A DELUXE FIGURE. Deluxe toys only sell for $11.99. Unless it's a Botcon exclusive or something where you're adding in the cost of travel and admission. I don't know how much Botcon exclusives actually sell for.

You do realize there is an exchange rate between countries right? Like $11.99 in U.S. currency is not equal to 11.99 in Euros or yen or whatever currency used in whatever country you happen to live in where FE figures were actually sold. So while the cheapest price may read as 37.95 for that country's currency it's actually only $11.99 in U.S. dollars, same as any other Deluxe figure.

There's also the possibility that $37.95 is the cost including international shipping to the U.S. I don't really know how much shipping to a different country costs but I'm guessing it's pretty expensive and just like shipping within your own country changes depending on the size of the package being delivered. This means that if $37.95 is indeed the cheapest price that it includes the cost of shipping and a voyager will still cost more money, not less.

To put it simply, even though I bought Shockwave on discount for $14.99 he'd still cost a minimum of $3 dollars more than a Deluxe not including the cost of shipping. Which again I don't know the cost of shipping sense I've never shipped a package to another country before.

More to the point... IT WAS HIS IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE so this "no wander he pulled out" BS really needs to stop. You're trying to make it sound like I attempted to rip someone off when the offer was made by the other person. Not only are you trying to make me look like the bad guy but you're derailing this topic by arguing with me about it.

This topic is for finding figures with instructions for entirely different toys or no instructions at all.

This topic is NOT for making false accusations against me.

This topic is NOT for arguing about the price of Deluxe figures.

Let me make it clear for you (I hope). The cheapest in U.S. Dollars the FE Vehicon has been was around 37.95+shipping (cause you had to import the bastard to get it into the US.) The cheapest Shockwave around the same time was 19.99 from the local store. The Vehicon still cost more, either way you cut the cake. And for the person who suggested the trade, he may have suddenly realised the offer he made was in no way in his favor and would rather be a rip off for him to follow through, that's why he backed out.

Happy? I reworded it so maybe you can understand AND so you dont sound like the bad guy.

BTW, picked up a RTS Special Ops Jazz about 2 weeks ago with no instructions, sealed box. Only time I've had that has happened that I can recall. I've never had switched instructions.
