    Yeah.. I'm in on R Deltanias. I was tempted by the original release but for whatever reason, the more angular lion head and blue face of the R version sell me.

    Yeah I was just about to share, what the fuck? Was this announced? No right? This thing was like $350+ in the states wasn't it? You might as well wait another 2 years and see if bandai will announce a proper reissue or maybe a different paint scheme of this toy

    I'm guessing warehouse find. I just happened to notice while on the site, panicked, and bought ER Scorponok because he was selling quick.

    Yeah or they bought it new from a customer. That is the going price in the secondary market, there is no reissue.

    You say that but BBTS allows me to pre-order their maximum amount of units allowed so chances are it is a restock. Same thing happened with SHF Yamacha last week or so.

    I would think they could go lower, they have at least 24 slots open.

    Probably should have implied someone else's warehouse find that they are buying. Still, as Tatooed said, that is a secondary market price when you have over 24 available.

    the quantity is showing up to 24. They could have more than that, but quantity tops off at 24. They have put up PO's with less than 24 available and will show it at less than 24.

    Interesting. I never looked at that before. Is it usually accurate?

    up to 24. In the old days there was no cap so people could put in a quantity like 1000 and find out the inventory on hand as it would adjust to the inventory available.

    It's not the price that bothers me it's just how "lucky" they are I guess for lack of a better term to find 24+ stock of this toy as well as the 12'' C-3P0
