    So...what is "bruised fee-fees"? What does that mean?

    Also. You're really living up to your "Fanatic" moniker. You seem really highly strung, possibly unstable. Have a good one :)

    I think you know exactly what it means.

    Lmao. Great. So you've realized that you were wrong and you're buggering off. Good! See ya! I knew you wouldn't have an actual argument. Facts are tough. :rolleyes:

    Pages 42 and 45 have size discussion and pics. Maybe 11 inches in bot mode?

    MP Grimlock was 100 bucks. This is clearly overpriced.

    I think Grinder was $200, Where did you see him for $160?

    Exactly, and FT Grinder was first released in January 2017. I mean, I can pick and choose prices I like and complain. Got a problem ? ;)

    I do when you compare prices from 2008 to 2021. Like Inflation, increased parts and different materials, ONTOP of smaller production runs resulting in higher manufacturing and material costs are a thing at all.

    Clearly it's hard to convey sarcasm through forum posts.

    That's generally why we have blue text.

    Didn't see you using one. I am following best practices here.

    Ok, but now Grinder reissue goes for $300 (TCP), so considering that there is a price increase on all the 3p figures, I think $200 is still "reasonable". You are getting a new mold that is Grinder sized for $100 less. Expensive, but not too crazy expensive.
