    Just be careful that seller is sketchy, all of the Tarn's purchased from that seller were returned due to not being new and having loose joints. I read through a lot of the seller's sale history. They are not knock off's as one doesn't exist yet but I suspect that they are Tarn's that were returned by prior customers that had issues with the figures and the seller is selling the stock of returned ones. For instance the only actual review is by one of the customers stating the figure had loose joints. I'm just saying it may not be new and may have problems. If that doesn't bother you then by all means. Just a friendly heads up.

    I see, I thought you were talking about your uncle possibly buying a Tarn for you but you didn't want someone spending that kind of money on you? Then I saw the Amazon Tarn for $799 and noticed the seller who was selling it for that price was the same seller (Toy Japan USA) others had issues with and so I gave a heads up to be careful. Or were you not the one talking about any of that and I misread?

    It’s probably worthwhile. Seems like a great figure.

    Cheapest seems to be ShowZ at 385. I can live with that.

    I don't doubt the quality of the figure it's just that whether or not I should drop an extra 100 for the speakers and clean mask or just stick with the 'standard' bluefin release.
    :(  im torn

    Optimus is the only must have D4 preorder. The gun for Star Saber is decent as well. The other three releases aren't really worth it. From a distance it is kinda hard to tell between the normal and the clean mask.

    Yeah Optimus and Drift had the best bonuses. But I’d say for Tarn it’ll be fine with the normal release. There’s tones of stuff to play with.

    My reissue just shipped from D4! I’m excited to get it, I guess, although I likely won’t be keeping it (I just don’t understand how it can be $400 when 3A puts out similar quality for $200, even though I like the design). I’m torn on selling it.

    Hey what kind of batteries does Tarn need? Can't find this mentioned anywhere and I've misplaced the manual. LG44?

    2x LR41 and 4x LR621 I believe? It's been a while since I removed my batteries from tarn to prevent corrosion so I can't remember exactly. I believe he uses 2 different types but it could be my memory failing me.

    Edit: I have both LR41 and LR621 sizes written in my notes under flame toys and since I only own tarn and an unopened prime, I think those are the sizes you need
