    There's a part of me that wants to destroy an Optimus Prime box just to get that awesome discount again.

    Ebay:
    My best friend has a Visa Card for just one purpose- Star Wars.
    He rode with me to our local TRU, and saw on the back wall the Ep. 1 Princess' Naboo Starship (yeah, the big one) on clearance. had no cash, but he had a Visa with a $500 dollar limit so he bought one.

    in the years i have known him, he has NEVER billed anything close to $100 on it.
    and pays it off ASAFP.

    Wish I had followed his lead when K*B had a massive blowout on Transformers Universe 1.0 and the last of the Gundam figures (Gundam Seed, etc.)

    Couldn't you ask them to hold it for you until the next day and buy it then?

    Hahah, I came back and purcashed him with pride, and a smug smile on my face. I'm surprised noone snatched em up.

    Hey, he's 100% complete, Transforms, Not broken or anything, I couldn't be happier. (Well, maybe if he had a sparring partner..)

    My Wal-Mart has a Ransack who's box has been decimated(no instructions, no "nametag", being held together by tape wrapped around him) but as far as I know they won't lower the price at all. Should I perhaps take it to CS and ask if I can get it for less?

    I'd say yes, you never know.

    Pee Esss,

    Loving my leader Prime. I hope I find a destroyed Megatron soon.

    If I was in charge of relaity, you would. However, he'd have no face so your Leader Prime would be sad he couldn't take it.

    I saw a teared up returned Universe Blades at Wal-Mart, mistransformerd in box. It was still $20.00 though. I didn't know you could take a returned figure to CS to ask to get less for it. Now I must find some returned TFs
