    Lol, in addition to the Sky Striker the most expensive one - the Star Wras Death Star pack - is now out of stock. Good thing I didn't let my fanboyism waste time and money on that.

    Though of course the Joe fans are probably trying to get that, too. So it makes sense why Sky Striker went fast.

    Starting to think just waiting for the regular release of Prime toys might be best... The Voyger OP looks so much better than the Deluxe anyways. But that Matrix... UGH I hate this site.

    I am so mad I can't checkout. Now Starscream is gone. Dammit. Star wars set gone now too. Well I have had them in a cart for about an hour now gone. Very frustrating.

    Yesssss!! It took almost an hour, but I finally snagged a Sentinel!!! Now, if that cursed Prime Prime would just show up. Oh, and if anyone has the bright idea to call in and try to order, forget it because I was on hold for almost 45 minutes only to be told that their system is on the same server and is crashing too. Hooray.

    Huh...the site seems to have stabilised somewhat. And yet still no Prime Prime. Life sucks like that.

    EDIT: Ugh, forget the "stabilised" part. Bugger.

    Seriously, I don't begrudge ANY company making a profit on their products, but come on...charging DOUBLE when they're only a week old is insane.

    Ultimate Prime: Retail $80, BBTS price $160
    Marvel Sentinel: Retail $60, BBTS price $120
    MP Rodimus: Retail $60, BBTS price $120
    Matrix Prime: Retail $25, BBTS price $45
    Marvel Legends Thor: Retail $25, BBTS price $50

    It's a joke.

    So, Blaster sold out like this during a previous year only to show up in Canada at some discount store? What's up with that?

    I had Star Scream in my Cart since it poped up. I was on it early, like as soon as it poped up. I just got my cart up and its now out of stock. After 1 million time outs. what a joke

    I'm guessing that they're waiting to put up Matrix Prime after the current shitstorm is done? So that the site doesn't crash COMPLETELY when the next shitstorm hits for him?

    I had a Starscream and Ultimate Prime in my cart the moment they appeared on the site, and I never made it through checkout fully. Now Starscream is gone and I still can't make it thru. F. M. L.
