    MP Starsaber needs tighter joints. So even if this isn’t an MP, I’m pretty sure he will be ok fitting in with the rest of my MP Collection.

    Kingdom Cyclonus and Rodimus Prime show me how far the mainline has come in terms of quality, if not surpassing the MP line. So mind boggling

    You underestimate the late tax. I'm anticipating these guys going for upwards of 600

    For most buying a second would at minimum be to pay off *both* and thus at least come away with a free Saber

    Is there a single full-body shot of Skids in robot mode to begin with?

    Not only with regard to animation accuracy, but price. I think all of them were sub $100, which is unheard of these days.

    I did the math. With local taxes and ebay fees if I sold VS #2 for $400 the one set i keep would be $33, not free. :confused:

    Scalpers run amok, hence why everything is so pricey there.

    Oh I meant eBay fees. Seems like their prices are jacking up along with the scalpers

    I’m not completely sure, but I think all the eBay tax + shipping adds up.

    eBay fees aren't significantly more than they've ever been, it's just that it's all consolidated under eBay now, rather than having separate eBay and PayPal fees. As a total, it's around 15% or slightly more.

    It's a good point about the second effectively paying for the first, but it is kind of bad timing, I'm trying to start Christmas shopping, and an extra $500 CAD right now is a decent chunk of money.

    Tbf it looks like MP skids only exists because honda paid for it. So it is specifically all about accurate real world vehicle mode.
