    wouldn't make the prices much better, still ridiculous for the CC set, it's only 99 here, the clear mirage is more tempting than that

    You think the prices aren't tempting - wait until you see how they treat their stock and customers!

    Some of the most abysmal pricing I've ever seen.

    I know they're site sponsors and all...but really...I don't care to see this kind of post in the front page. It does nothing for me.

    If anyone wants to buy these toys as these kinds of prices, head to ebay...actually, you'd probably find some of them cheaper.

    I'm no tool, but Tony is an old friend of mine. I picked up Ravage.

    Then he made a nice profit from you. He most likely picked them up while in japan for 5000-6000 yen so thats a nice markup.

    Tony (Who runs Tempting Toys) is an old friend and one of only 2 people I believe who have been to every single Botcon ever. He's knows what he's doing and always gets stuff that nobody else does.

    Also I find it VERY VERY frustrating when people say "$200 for Ravage, I got mine for $60 in 2002!"

    That was 7 years ago!!!

    I got my G1 sealed Starscream for $10 in 1985, dam scalpers want $500 for it now on ebay!

    Don't bash prices, just don't pay them
