    Finally swooped Mezco Spider-man. The first time one of these popped up and I'm completely current on TF shit I collect

    Probably toyarena for $100 - $15 = $85. I saw the listing this morning but now gone. $85 is still too much for me.

    Psychological, last minute warnings make you panic purchase. If that notice went out at 07:00, you'd have time to shop around, mull it over, "come back later...", forget altogether.

    I did opt to buy an MP-10U for sixty-two dollars. I might finally customize one now.

    Scored a Magten Megatron MP36 for 93 shipped with the coupon. Had my brother use his eBay account since I already applied the discount on my account lol.

    The problem is that I always get taken by surprise by these deals, and I can never think of what I want until after it’s over. And I always forget to make a potential list of what to look for!

    I wish I picked it up at tfcon Toronto last year, but I refuse to pay over MSRP for this one. Do wish it came with an extra head, the mirage one. Anyways, will see how it goes at this years tfcon soon enough.

    Right. If it happens to be that much higher on Ebay it defeats the point. That if in fact it was bought from Toyarena's Ebay store.

    I usually check the NA retailers price vs tf-direct vs uncle billy website vs showz website vs Ebay/Taobao before I make a purchase.

    Well, I found myself against the clock and it came down to a decision between a mezco px stealth deathstroke and an IT MP36 megs.

    Toyarena is a US seller. Maybe he wants it from a US seller and its in stock. $85 is about the same price as other US sellers but you don't need to spend $125/$150 to get the free shipping.

    On a side note, interesting US sellers have it in stock already but not the eBay Chinese sellers or Show Z.

    Picked up Power Baser from Baba. I've been on the fence regarding this bot for a while now. We'll see how he is in person.

    Grabbed me some Street Fighter Transformers.  I couldn’t justify them without a sale.
