They haven't replaced the FE Entertainment Pack I had pre-ordered (yet). I'm not sure if they're going to or not, but I hope not.

I guess I'll keep the pre-orders they replaced the others with for now. I already replaced all but Hasbro's FE Bulkhead by grabbing them on ebay. I wasn't too anxious about getting Hasbro's Bulkhead anyway after getting Takara's version in-hand (it looks awesome

I also posted this in the other thread about the cancellations. My Entertainment pack is still in my pre-orders as with xyl360, but is no longer listed on the site. Here's hoping...

Now I just need to find a FE voyager Prime without spending a hundred bucks...

I grabbed this one. With shipping it came to about $76. Pretty pricey, but cheaper than any of the others I found. They had 4 when I bought mine, now there's only 1 left. They may get more though, as they're in Canada where these FE figures aren't hard to find at retail.

PSHAW! $20 in shipping? This is why I've come to loathe Ebay (and some in the Amazon Marketplace too.)

But, I do want to thank you for looking out for us collectors.

I figure I'll wait just a bit for things to calm down at this point. Who knows. Maybe I'll still be able to pick one up somewhere along the way. Maybe Takara will run some more. *crosses fingers*

Shipping from Canada might actually be that expensive. It's pretty ridiculous how expensive shipping is these days. It costs me $13 to ship a deluxe within the same province by the cheapest method. Primus knows how much it would cost to send a Voyager to the States. And before you ask, no I can't get you any First Editions, all the good ones are sold out. People make it sound like we're some magical land of plenty, but in reality, things sell out in a matter of a couple days or even hours, depending on the product.

It would be awesome if Takara did another run, to help supply the rest of us fans. I would feel much better paying higher prices for their goods than higher scalper prices for the Hasbro product.

Primegate continues...

Just cancelled my pre-order. BBTS would do themselves a lot of good if they had pictures of the products instead of a Prime logo.

I live in the same city as this scalper and it is $36 to ship to me.

same seller, love how this is soooo rare, it was 9.99 on clearance at Canadian Tire for a month. I love how his TFs are "Canadian Variants" lol.

Wow I feel sorry for you man. I really do...Here at Malaysia? We have like 30 FE voyager Prime at around 35 dollars price in just 1 TRU and there's like 3 more and I think all that other 3 atleast have 10++ Voyager Prime at the same price X_X...Oh and we also still have a shitload of BB and Starscream and we have like 5-8 bulkhead in just 1 TRU.

Though no Cliffjumper I'm afraid.I was just lucky enough to go to the TRU right on their first day of stocking Cliffy. After like 3 days it was gone >.>...

It's really BS how Malaysia can still re-stock the FE line while you guys cant even have the initial stock :O...

Still waiting for the PRiD line to arrive so I can get my hands on Wheeljack and Megs

I bought my FE Cliffjumper from that same seller and it is $18 to ship to me in the United States. I'm not getting upset until I see the shipping cost on my package. Keep this in mind. Over the last roughly 2 years or so the power structure at Ebay has changed. Where once the sellers were the kings it's reversed. Now the power is in the hands of the buyer. Using the rating system (with the stars) ebay can offer incentives to sellers who maintain 4-5 stars. If they gouge you on shipping then rate them low on the shipping costs. If you can prove they gouged you leave negative feedback. These things combined can damage their selling account and the negative feedback can cause a loss in business.

the only thing I have to say about that is, sometimes Ebay lies out their butt to you about shipping charges.

ex: I sold something on there a while back and used their shipping calculator to get a cost factor. Worked out to $15 and I tacked on a few short dollars to cover the cost of buying bubble wrap and a box. I go to ship the bugger and UPS tells me it's $9. Needless to say, I was startled because Ebays shipping calculator left me quoting just about double that.

So unless you are shipping all the time and know how UPS and USPS charge, ebay can really screw you and the buyer over in the shipping department.

I shouldn't need to order these online anyway. They'll show up at Walmart where I can nonchalantly purchase them when they go on sale. Better yet, I'll buy some lightly used ones on ebay in order to avoid giving any of my money to Hasblow.

I was at Toys R Us the other day and picked up Starscream, Bumblebee, Arcee and Cliffjumper. I saw that Optimus there for $29 and there were quite a few of them left.
