    The only problem I have with this is that it will be way out of scale with the other figs. I can live with it though

    Yeah, he'll be almost eye to eye with Devastator.

    However, since there's never been an Alpha Trion in the G1 Marvel, he could be any size they want. If he's that old, it'd be interesting to have him be that big, and they were shrunk over time to conserve energy. (eventually leading to Micromasters)

    Another one up that's got snatched. You know... I'd be leary of someone putting up this many test shots. Especially with only 50 or so feedback, but that's just me.

    He's working under 2-3 different IDs on Ebay, but I'm not sure why.

    Very cool take on one of my favorite molds ever. Love the new head sculpt, but the best part is that they actually painted the edges of the wings.

    Like I said... the item may be legit, but I'm not sure I trust someone listing this many of a never before seen Botcon Test Shot with a gradually increasing price and shipping. This seriously reeks... and I was considering one when I saw the first couple of new listings. However, this seems a bit much. You'd think walking out with that many would get you nabbed by some kind of security.

    Wow, very cool. If this turns out to be the large give-away toy, I wonder if that means some of the comic characters (like CD Hotshot as Springer, etc.) will end up being club exclusives.

    Seriously though, how many does he have? Are con attenedees going to be short changed by this guy? That would suck, especially after how hard it was to get last years attendee sets. "Only 750 at the con! Wait, 720. Oh, looks like we "lost" some more, so more like 700. Waaait a minute...."

    No, I'm sure he's raising the price after seeing how fast these are moving. Literally someone is buying it minutes after he posts the auction. If I saw that sort of demand I'd raise the price too. Heck, I'd start posting it as a bid auction. I bet it'll go over $300 if he went that route.
