Those PVCs should be at your local Hot Topic by now, but they're $7 each. I got a set of five from BBTS for $23. Linky!

They are the same...Takara-Tomy makes all of Hasbro's Transfomers.

Takara has made toys in Japan for years, including TFs. Tomy bought Takara sometime in the last two or three years. I think Tomy is responsible for the Kiss Players and the ending of the TFC reissues, but they've also allowed for the Masterpiece line. I guess Japanese toy companies can be schizophrenic just like American ones.

Has anyone seen the prices for unmodified Masterpiece Megatrons on ebay? I was checking them out last night, and HOLY ****. I guess I might have to go with BBTS, even though they're modified, but they still have the cheapest price by far, and it doesn't involve having to import it, since they'll already have done that.

Ya, that's been rumored for a while and it COMPLETELY sucks ass.  These will probably go for well over $329 a set on Ebay.  I could care less to be a member and attend Botcon.

**edited with correct pricing.

No pics, just yet.

I looked around, seeing if I could score these without having to go to Rhode Island. I can, if I buy a $329 package and wait three to four weeks after the show is over.  ::)

Hasbro is lame...  >:(  I wish they would have given us Thundercracker instead of Ramjet.  At least that we we'd have a half set.  I kind of had a feeling something was up when we so that remold.

Anyways...The Target Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp sets are now on clearance for $4.98 if anyone is interested.  Fantastic set and you can't go wrong for that price.  $20 was even a good deal.

Oh, I saw the LOC giftset today at Target.  Never got into that line, but they looked neat in the packaging...Not sure how much it was though.

Like the Order 66 sets diplayed near them, the TF set is $9.99.

I saw them too. Not really that impressed by them. I passed.

Does anyone know if we will get any more pieces in the "classic" line after Devastor ?

Sadly, the only remaining "classics" will be the Botcon exclusives.   :'(

Maybe they'll return to something like this line when Heroes comes out.
