And still at a scalperlicious price! I know it's cheaper than what he's been going for, but still. If Hasbro is shipping out solid cases of these, that price is a little shit.

 

Check the local retail price for a Hasbro DX in Hong Kong.

It's a lot more than $13 plus tax.

 

That's not a scalperlicious price, that's general retail price for the overseas market. A scalperlicious price (like on ebay) is around 3 times that much. Considering the other options, this is a steal.

 

These.
Yeah, it's a little more and will cost me around $50, but hey, it's a damn good figure, and it's retail so nothing legitimately to complain about. Plus it may be the chance to get him while hes here for not $80+.
Also other people, don't scalp. I know my post won't stop you but at least other viewers, don't pay them $70 for this. Sheesh, with the whole Bulkhead debacle....

 

Then I stand corrected. After shipping, that thing would run what... $50? Just seems ridiculous to me. Others may disagree. (And obviously do.)

 

Their online shop is through a retailer, not Hasbro themselves. So they would still have to sell them, it's just a specialty retail store, so not like an actual shop. Plus that would have to conduct mass quantity's and there is the possibility of other retailers in a fit because they were not offered them. That's why SDCC stuff goes up and maybe not Botcon stuff, because Botcon is funpub ultimately so Hasbro can do what they can with what there is but can't exactly go out of their way to do something super extravagant.
I hope my point gets across.  

 

Que is worth it - he's a great figure. I don't think Robotkingdom's price in unreasonable at all.

 

For those that aren't interested in paying more than US retail for a deluxe and/or Movieverse figure, I doubt it would ever be worth it. I don't think that's a bad position for someone to take as long as they're cognizant of what they're missing out on. For those that can afford overseas stuff though, this is a bargain once Wheeljack was the one of the four canceled DotM figures that shot up to incredible prices on eBay.

I'm debating whether to jump on Robot Kingdom's now or wait a bit and hope that BBTS gets some stock in too for a comparable price. RK has 83 left as of a couple minutes ago.

 

I dont for a second believe they'd give 3 first ed vehicons per case

 

If only that was the case with the mainline versions.

 

Absolutely. I haven't seen a Que on eBay (or at Botcon) for under $80.

It is ridiculous. It just happens to be standard.

 

It's the standard price for a Deluxe Transformer from Asia/Japan which is between $30-$40.

 

I doubt. It!!!!!it is so unlikely that hasbro will do something twice!

 

Why is the optimism when one of those (Que) went up just a few hours ago? Yeah it might not be real/legit/ or even First Edition but hey, it's not looking bad now that Que is up again.

 

so are they like the rarest transformers as of right know!

 

So you saying FE Bumblebee showing up on there was just a fluke? Or is he the only FE that gets special consideration?

If other retailers really mattered, we'd probably be buying First Edition figures from them now. So put your tongue back in your mouth. It's bad manners...

 

Uhm, no, you missed the point I was trying to get across. They simply can't, they're a business. Not a fan oriented company based on what everyone wants. Bumblebee was not a fluke or special, he was overstocked so they have to sell them ,very simple.
Also it's not a fact of the other retailers "mattering' its a matter that Hasbro has to go at it like a business.

 

Well, Que is an easy pass for me. Ugly as sin.

 

C'mon BBTS with the Que.

 

I want Que but I'm not going to preorder it from Robot Kingdom. I'll wait to see if BBTS gets him in. If not, then oh well.
I really hope the I can get FE Vehicon this time around if they do come out again.
