    Oh tempting price on Yellow Giant, he'll look good with Hasbro G2 Menasor and Bruticus!

    EDIT: Hmm upon further review that price is for a loose set of the original figures. Looks like getting Yellow Giant at bbts for $350 might be better for getting the revised figures all in a boxset.

    Yeah, I didn't think it was that good of a deal. Now if they do one on Cupola, I may bite on that one!

    Hover and Bomber are 20% off.
    Battle Tanker is 32% off.
    Giant is 19% off.

    I do think they could have put em up for a bit cheaper also, but its certainly much more than a 10% discount for each of them.

    Careful.....there is a difference between Battle Tanker and Battle Sentinel. Battle Tanker does not come with the Gento portion.

    Battle tanker is actually a little more I believe, original price was $99 IIRC? Still, that was 5 years ago.

    I can't access the site at work. Are Trash-Talk or Rear-End in the sale? they're the only ones I'd be interested in.

    i think we all get the point that the discounts appear negligible.
    without looking, i was assuming i paid full price for giant as a boxset at 350.

    My blue battle tanker set was 140 dollars new. I assume the original was too. Its why nemesis was such a nice deal because they actually justified the price finally whereas the original armor-only sets were way way over priced imo.

    The blue and the purple were exclusives and priced higher if I can recall correctly.

    Sold the original battle tanker at ages when it was released and that is why I think I recall the $99 price point. That was a while ago and I could be wrong now. I am just going off memory.

    The original battle tanker set was between $99 and $110 if I recall correctly. Which falls in line with Spencer's estimation. I really wish they'd do a black Hyper Novae. I can dream.

    This is the worst sale I have ever seen. They are literally telling you that this stuff has been sitting around for five years. If no one wanted these at these high prices 5 years ago, why would anyone want them now? Maybe it should have been a Half Decade = Half Price sale.
