Now just watch, there won't be anything on the shelves around Christmas and it'll be a sellers market on ebay. Watch this be the year to see the most ridiculous price on a current star wars figure in years on the bay.

I didn't have many gobots. I had one of the super gobots that turned into a porsche but that was about it. I had generic gobots which was odd. You'd figure I'd have the real ones considering they were usually the same price. I believe it would be hard to really pin down which came first. I remember getting transformers in non-transformers branded packaging about a year or two before transformers hit. I don't have any more of those now but they were all made by Takara and were repainted and released later in the actual Transformers line. Just cars though. I also remember we used to have a toy store around here that used to stock nothing but Japanese robot toy's. They had various Voltron and other Japanese robots in the actual japanese packaging, nothing with any US labeling, and that was all the store sold. It was one of the coolest stores back in the day, I just wish it was still around.

D&S? I'm not familiar with them. Are they a solid resource? What's the URL if you don't mind?

So I got my Obi/Yoda two pack the other day but no sign of the R2-KT which was supposed to have shipped around the same time. Anyone else order the R2-KT and are still waiting on it? Just curious.

I went looking for this at retail over the weekend hopeing I could find it but all I could find was the Tie Interceptor. I can't believe the interceptor is $6 more. I ended up getting the lego hoth rebel base set instead since it was the last one they had.

I'm holding out, I thought the x-wing, big wing tie and AT-AT would be done deals by now but I still see those at retail. Hopefully these will show up in volume at some point and I won't have to worry about careless packaging in shipping. I'm not exactly a sealed collector but I keep boxes and I like them to be in good shape.

So I came across this the other day in my pursuit of an Eternia set.

Yeah, I may want an eternia set...but I don't want one that bad.

Hasbro's customer service does lack doesn't it? I'm hopeing that whatever glitch they have going on that caused the expiration date issue is resolved and I get my figs. They should be happy that anyone is even ordering their products right now with all the uproar over the China issue. Now if EE would just ship my wave 4 UGH cases I'd be happy.
