Is that supposed to justify the rediculous price? Sig pictures are to be no larger than 40KB in file size and should be no larger than 300 pixels in height and 500 pixels wide - 2005 Staff | |

And if this is anything like Universe Ruination, it will sell out in a second. So the price is a little high, but not that crazy. Universe Ruination goes for $65+ on eBay, and that thing is hideous!

Is that supposed to justify the rediculous price? | The price is quite hefty. I wonder if the huge markup is, maybe, due to somebody buying them in Hong Kong at retail price, then selling them to Joel at a profit, then gets shipped (add a bit more to the price), then Joel adds his markup. I assume Hong Kong because there were plenty alt Nemesis Primes and Classics Magnus and Skywarp giftsets on eBay from there, and that's what BBTS had a large markup on previously.
Anybody else got a theory? I just can't buy that Joel would add a huge markup on this item, that could possibly alienate customers, so I think he's covering the costs of sourcing with these steep prices. | |

I have no idea how many of these I'll be able to find. (None of the W*Ms around me have any Classics out yet.) But if I can, I'll offer to pick these up and send them to folks for my cost plus shipping. No one should feel forced to pay BBTS's ridiculously hiked price. JARODIMUS
