I never heard about divine getting Christmas cards before but I know that every time I see him, he always has a huge stack of crisp $1 bills that he swears he uses for Baba’s preorders. Strange because I never knew Baba accepted cash either. VIP room status indeed.

 

Cyclonus and toon Bombshell are the same price!? Madness. But then, the pricing for that Bombshell reissue has always been a slap in the face.

 

I give those dollar bills to Baba's cousin here in the States, who in turn remits them to Baba in China through Bitcoin. Glad to be a cog in the machine!!!

 

If I add Locke to cart and checkout, with the discount and coupon I'm at 148, I'm not VIP I guess lol

 

This was a good laugh when I got that email this morning

 

At one time, the barrier to obtaining VIP status was super low. That's because he was still trying to get the site running. So I am not surprised there's not a lot of difference between VIPs and non VIPs. But 148 is much better than ShowZ's 159.99?

 

I think he’s trying to say that he probably won’t get as big a discount as divinecomedy for RP-01 because he lacks the F&F connections.

 

What's the worth of F&F nowadays? Boy do I have an answer for you .... 2 dollars!!!

 

Wow, I just checked it out. $27.50 shipping for a grand total of $186.49 for Locke from Baba and $16 shipping from TFSource for a total of $176. I guess Baba’s off MY VIP list

 

Honestly I'm glad I went and checked that due to your post because I'm still waiting to make the Locke purchase til I see a decent review just for absolute verification, but I didn't even consider discounts and coupons sitting with other stores and for $12 difference I'll be shopping at Baba's unless I can do better. I may have just gone and bought it at ShowZ if not for these posts, so I'm crediting you with saving me some money 

 

Same continent different country, you lose I win 

Seriously, that sucks!

 

ShowZ must be a Canadian...... He must be trying to get a foothold in Vancouver given how nice he's treating the people up north.

 

It's a News Credit I need  

 

Not to keep Locke as the subject here but Terry's has it for the same $159.98 but is giving a $20 coupon for use on anything except XTB/KFC product according to the description, tempting!

 

Maybe he has it confused with Koot?

 

So is the 'sale' simply $110 more for grey paint? I know ol' grey-chest was pricier, but jeez...

 

The grey paint was formulated from charcoal only found in the deepest depths of Mount Vesuvius. It was obtained on a solo barefooted expedition by the man, @Teletran-1, himself. He then hand-delivered it to dalianjj for 2 free copies of Spindrift 2.0.

Yeah, that price gouging for toon-accuracy was totally bogus.

 

It’s worth the extra bling cause that grey is cartoon accurate down to the molecule. You need high end magnification but just trust me, it only gets more grey the closer you get!

 

Good thing Tesla 2.0 is on the way so I can put your theory to the test.

 

Dusting my collection, and prepping myself for getting rid of Takara Soundwave, which I’ve had for almost a decade. It’s bittersweet.

Acoustic looks to fit my current collection so much better than Soundwave (to be 100% honest, of all the old Masterpieces, Soundwave fits the new aesthetic better than his contemporaries).

The cassettes look to be the biggest improvement, especially Ravage. Ravage has always been a favorite Decepticon, and the mp was a junker.
