    I didn't say they did. FT tried to launch Caesium at $140 at about the same time Grassor was slated to come out (at least, they promoted him around that time. It wound up taking much longer for Caesium to actually release), so Gigapower probably felt they had to respond by slashing their prices as well to compete.

    There's no price wars going on this time, though, so prices are back up to that $200 standard that FT initially set.

    I don't understand why someone keeps talking about $200 while it's easy to find him at 160/170 shipping fees included...

    Because that's the MSRP. That you can find retailers selling for less is irrelevant to the base discussion.

    Probably giving him more of a headache than it oughta, though he did say something on Twitter I think, about having used all his dino puns and not having any left for any potential PotP Dinobot reviews. So...that suggests to me he should be nearly done...maybe..?

    There is no discernible reason to have that big of a discount on a brand new and highly sought after figure.

    Seriously, no joke here. But I wonder why people take the risk of unknown sellers just to save $30-40. It' a very expensive toy that is a lot of R&D work for GP to build, well worth the money if the MSRP is reasonable (I think it is). I'm convinced the headache and stress of buying from a potential scammer just isn't worth the money. Online sellers like rubadub, BBTS, TFSource, amazon all seem way more easy to me.

    I recently got a KO MP10 white from rubadubspawn, who works with ShowZ. As for ebay, just wait for baba or netclow and combine with flash sale. Baba also offers $5 off order over $120.
