    I wouldn't expect 46 too soon given it's still grey proto stage.

    I think it would be a minor miracle to get it for that range seeing Takara’s insane pricing recently. US domestic pricing for Bumblebee looks to be $120 so I do not hold much hope for BA.

    OK, here's a recolor making the black and the spider legs more accurate.

    It's really crazy how good that is. I can't wait to see spider mode.

    I dont know whether to be impressed at your recolouring or annoyed that you’re tornenting me when this is months away yet. :confused: 

    I’ll forgive you if you make the yellow parts gold though.

    Maybe.

    ;)

    Given that Bee is going to cost around $100 with shipping it wouldn't surprise me if Blackarachnia comes in near $200. I'm okay with that but I wouldn't want to spend much more. There's been a pretty significant jump in MP pricing in the past year so I won't be that surprised if BA ends up being north of $200.

    As far as BW, that would be insanely expensive as the originals are super low rez models. Best chance is to have some sort of machine learning in the future to upscale it.

    Yeah $100 is fair. $200 is fucking pushing it.

    $200 would break my heart. I was able to justify Dinobot because... he's Dinobot. I was able to justify Megatron because he's the biggest of the Season 1 cast, and so I told myself that after I get Megatron, everyone will be cheaper. Sure, Rhinox may cost a pretty penny, he's bulky, but there are a bunch of smaller bots who will give me a break and allow to raise some funds.

    If Blackarachnia is $200, that means that we can basically expect every figure to be at least $150, at minimum. And for me, that's in USD. Convert that to Canadian, and the cost of getting them all becomes just too high...

    I don't know. I got my Dinobot, it's all I really wanted. I would LOVE to complete the cast, they look so goddamn good together. But if the hobby is going to really cost this much, maybe I'll cut my losses after Megatron and finally get myself that PS4 I've been putting off.

    Nah, $200 is pretty reasonable when you compare her to the likes of Bee. The sculpt here is amazing. If people can drop $100 on Bee and $400 on Prime a $200 price tag doesn't seem unreasonable.

    Well, I can't drop $100 on Bee and $400 on Prime. The only way I was able to get myself to pay what I did on Megatron was holding onto a faint hope that every figure afterwards would cost less. That figures cheetor size would cost about what Cheetor costs, figures around Optimus size would cost around Optimus.

    I honestly can't afford them all if they are all going to cost what Dinobot costs. Especially once we hit Rhinox who is sooo much bulkier than Blackarachnia. If the price is going up across the board, Rhinox is going to end up costing us $300. I really can't do that.

    By the way, I'm not saying Blackarachnia is priced wrong or she's not worth it. Worth is a value call. Priced wrong means no one buys it. If people buy her at $200, she's priced right. Takara can charge whatever they want. I'm not so entitled to say I deserve the figure and they should price it for me.

    I'm just saying, all the tools I used to justify the prices to myself up till now are running out if Blackarachnia costs $200.

    If I can get her for $150 CAD, including shipping, then count me in. Cheetor reissue cost me $93 CAD, including shipping and customs. I'm willing to take a price increase, but not that much...
