    If anyone cares, the Takara K-T figs. are now being sold through TRU.com, which I find highly bizarre. Just go to the main page and search for "K-T" and you'll see the 4 they're selling (sorry, no naked girls in tubs here): Prime bust (highly recommended since I own it - it's very cool, IMO, albeit dinky), Frenzy, Rumble, and Devastator attacking Arcee and Hot Rod.

    Go get 'em!

    I know, right? Makes you wonder where they're hoarding the 5th one (the aforementioned Kiss Play-like girl). I bet someone in the warehouse is swiping them and decorating their walls in little girl (*bleh*). lol

    Ebay:
    ToysRUs.com has a deal with Brian's Toys to sell his stuff. That's how they get odd items like the K-T figures.

    Walmart.com is apparently doing something similar. They had Masterpiece Voltron on their site the other day for $149.95 as an online exclusive.

    it'd be hilariously awesomely wrong if the Ai-chan one was on there. I can only imagine the lawsuits parents would be launching.

    Interesting...I would never have known that without the fandom's assistance. Thanks, man! I was indeed curious.

    It was up, back in January. Either he sold out of it, or it was pulled.

    Are those as good as the prices are going to get or would they be cheaper anywhere else?

    I wouldn't mind dropping that much but I want to make sure.

    Very old news.

    For those that missed it, you missed ai-chan too.

    Argh! I've been "noobed". Well, I did a search in this section for "K-T" like a good little poster and found jack, so....

    edit: followed RF's link and, of course, I found jack when the title of that thread is wrong. These aren't PVCs, so now I don't feel so dumb. :) 

    As for pricing, I don't think it's too bad as long as you buy multiple items and don't get stuck paying shipping for 1 (always better to buy in bulk, IMO). I got the Prime alone at an import store for $10, which, at the time, seemed good, but now...just keep in mind these are very tiny, but also very neat, I think.

    lol "Peeping Tom" Devy. That big perv.! He's too obvious, though, his lack of intelligence probably makes him unclear on the concept of spying.

    Yeah, I am in complete agreement. That one is by a wide margin the coolest.

    Nah, dude, the Prime rocks harder! He looks sweet, his chest opens, and you can remove the mini-Matrix inside! Pure love!
