    Again, they have free warehouse space. It does them absolutely no harm to start the price high and lower it month by month to maximize profit. They’re in no rush to move this inventory. You can either wait patiently or pay big. Not really any point in complaining about it.

    yeah, i'm sure. but there's also only one of each set, so it's possible someone who doesn't pay attention as much might unfortunately pay more than they should.

    how do they have free warehouse space? I understand they're in it to maximize profit, but as said above and many, many times before, it's kind of crappy to do. They could just lower it to a near market value price and sell it for the price now that it'll be in 2-3 months and then not have to sit on it.

    What warehouse? IIRC, they operate the business out of their garage/ basement. In any event, they can do whatever they want with their inventory. Good riddance to the TFCC.

    Just wait. I got Minerva from them for less than half that price. When they go full meltdown mode, then buy.

    I can be really mean and buy her right now. I wonder how many they have in stock...

    Just kidding obviously. It took me a while just to get the official ears for her and now I'm on to the sticker sheet. Fun times.

    I doubt it's more than one or two. Seemed like they must have only had one of the Rainmaker sets.

    It will never go low enough for me to feel comfortable buying it anyway.

    There's always someone with the bank or willing to overspend out of fear of not owning it.

    Wondering how many TF figures are being dug up. Although, they'll probably ask eBay prices or higher anyway.

    It's no doubt far cheaper to just buy an Animated Arcee and repaint her. Source the ears like Capirus did and call it good. (There's no other remolding, is there?)

    Also looked like they had one spare SG Ricochet incomplete. Was there yesterday, gone today.

    I bought that Ricochet! I didn't mind it missing the cyber key, I'm not a SG collector but would like to add him to my small Jazz collection.

    That's nice man. I need the SG Jazz and the Customized Shockwave class to complete mine with that mold. No GDO Wheelie?

    I wouldn't wait on the Botcon customization class kits if you really want them - they only have one or two of them. The Rumble/Inferno one that was there yesterday is now gone.

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to adding the new POTP Ricochet to the group as well as Botcon SG Ricochet. I do have that GDO Wheelie as well as Botcon Kick Off and SG Treadshot (which I am using as Armada Sideswipe) - love that Jazz mold!

    No there's no other remolding. Just the ears.

    True. They only have one Minerva left.

    There's only one. If you add anything to the cart, you can keep adding until inventory limits hit, that'll tell you how many of whatever is left is left.
