    "But we're not fighters like they are, Prime!"

    "We must have courage, Huffer. We can't ignore the danger, we must conquer it."

    Just to be fair. Awficial to me is definitely anything after 1992..Machine Wars, Beast, RID, Unicron Trilogy, etcetra. Alternators were okay, MP is good. 3rd parties are checking off boxes even my G1 Jetfire, Deathsaurus or Liokaiser couldn't. It seems TT is being held back to me. Or we would get their original designs on steroids.

    John Stephenson - Transformers Wiki gave the little pessimist some real character. Guys like this don't really exist anymore. They have faded into the mists of legend. I'd have to say all our vocabularies, have been enriched by the dialogue of these talented voice actors, and script writers. They took the voice-over industry seriously. Part of the appeal of the show and consecutive series, next to the music for me. Since the visuals were somewhat lax.

    With all the other figures I picked up recently I wasn't in the mood to drop another $100+ on a MP especially a character like Huffer who I don't really care much for but since I'm in the middle of completing my minibots collection I said screw it and let me pick this guy up. Only paid $100 shipped from Bombusbee. He dropped lowered the sale price to $80. If it wasn't for that sale I was gonna go with Badcube but I'm a quality over quantity type of guy so Fanstoys was a no brainer

    Paid the balance for Rig, 385 yuan (60 USD) + 50 yuan deposit (8 USD) + 25 USD shipping to Brazil = 93 USD total.

    fucking result!! i'm glad i couldn't pay the bombusbee balance yesterday because today there is 7% off , not including the $5 deposit ( think thats £3 without looking ) this cost me £59.56/$76.94 with shipping ontop so around £40 cheaper than buying from omegalock with shipping ontop ....... everyone still blames ft for putting prices up but its not its the retailers outside of china with the massive markup but people still choose to ignore that fact even tho the proof is slapping them in the face with a wet trout ....... even without that 7% off this is still way below western retailers

    Thanks for the kind words. Glad that my tips help! Only a couple small ones this time around.

    LOL of all time? I don’t know about that but you have me feeling good this morning! Also, you got to love the Skullface!

    Deposit was $15, no?

    It's still a wee bit cheaper than Omegalock though for us UK folks. What interested me with Accoustic Wave was that BBB seemed to be using a UK forwarding company so there appears to be no risk of Customs sticking their oar in.

    Interesting. How is your postage $11.95?

    The only option available to the UK for me was $25.50!

    Oh, that's interesting. Actually I've so far been lucky with customs charges - Showz and Anime-Export are still able to get around things post-Brexit it seems.

    Now come on Omegalock - allow me to pay off the rest of my balance on Rig!

    @f0cus yeah it was $15 my bad , thought it was $5 due to pipes and outback being $5 deposit but thats £11 putting the total to just over £70

    have a look at the listing now it shows the cheaper shipping , i think it's best to wait a day or 2 before paying the balance with them to see if the shipping is lowered on future orders

    Maybe the shipping is cheaper for preorders (does not make much sense, but who knows…).
