Yeah, it looks pretty awesome but I they better not charge $50 for it because it's not worth that much.

Don't get me wrong, it looks real nice, but for 3 pieces of plastic and some felt, I'm not gonna shell out that much.

uh, who am I kidding...

With this all my Seeker shelf will need is a couple of Thundercrackers! Ultimately tough, I'm lumpimg this in with the MP-5 Megatron Upgrade and the MP-4 Optimus Trailer. Awesome but unnecessary. Not like, say, an MP-2 Magnus Armor/Trailer. Probably going to pick it up, though.

Exactly! Gundams come in a wide array with similar shoulder pannels.

Now take the time between season 2 and the movie, the Decepticons have Cybertron. I would think that during times of inactivity, or political prestiege, The Seekers, SoundWave, ShockWave, and the rest of Megatron's inner circle would have some type of statly dress.

Now, I can order 4 of these and pay to much for that. OR I can get 1 leaving StarScream unique with a crown, then some Gundam parts for the others giving each a style of their own with additional weapons.

Don't ask me why, but Zaku round shoulder with the spike is just screaming ThunderCracker to me.

As for the capes, felt is cheap enough.

Starscream looks awesome! I might just have to pick up a masterpiece starscream for this! Not the skywarp though.

1/100 sandrock endlesswaltz gundam has shoulder pads and a cape that looks similar to this one maybe with minor modifications a kitbasher can make it fit to mp-03

Awesome accesories for a bad comedy. If I had MP Screamer, I'd definately pick up this set.

Even Skywarp joining in on the fun haha. I'd totally look into this set if I had a MP seeker

Posted by Liege Evilmus on March 6th, 2008 @ 7:28pm CST

I just preordered both, but it's killing me cause I have that grey origional now who's going without.

We all know at some point they wil do a ThunderCracker, and hence redo this set. When that happens, Grey Seeker Bitch Drone can go without, but for now, he's stand in ThunderCracker, and I don't want him left out :-x

I should have just ran with the gundam idea.

I'm definitely ordering one up for Screamer. This is what he initially should have come with from the get go. I would've much preferred this to the good Doctor. $15 bucks through BBTS is a steal, though...

Good job for all of you who spotted the pre-order. Front paged.

Ah, very nice. Now the fellow nerds at my workplace will definitely steal my MP Starscream after hinting at it constantly. Oh well, I ordered it anyways, $15 bucks is definitely worth it. Hopefully it won't be too......much......pimpage......ack. :mrgreen:

Preordered!

Now to just wait on that Classics Magnus Armor set...

Re: New Images of MP-03 Coronation Starscream set (650025)
Posted by Sunstar on March 7th, 2008 @ 9:04am CST

15 bucks isn't bad at all. shipping is almost the same, but I put it on pile 'o loot. I should have ordered two, but well, his majesty does not wish any competition from his alter ego.....

I was figuring we where gonna get shafted for at least $50, since the CJ set was $30(plus another $30 to ship). Hopefuly though this will be a good sign that the Magnus set will be more afordable than not.

Oh, and no, Skywarp isn't going to wear his crown. He could just back hand StarScream and tell him to shut up, but that only works for a little while and he'd just rather not hear him whine.

Put in an order for the Screamer set and grabbed a reduced Wonderfest Dai Atlas while I was in a shopping mood.

Looks like they've raised the price to $19.99. Good thing I got my preorder in last night.

Re: New Images of MP-03 Coronation Starscream set (650140)
Posted by Liege Evilmus on March 7th, 2008 @ 12:38pm CST

Friggin BBTS, yeah, I'm glad I ordered both last night to, and to think, I was gonna wait. I bet Joel already is figuring an extra $10 on the Magnus set as a starter.

If that seems cold towards BBTS, I've been noticing alot more price gauging from them in the past year than ever, and it keeps getting worse. They are a great source for online toy shopping, but they are also getting to expensive(a nice way to say greedy) for their own good. I've been using them alot less as of late.

There is some truth to that actually.

Their prices have been rising. I don't know if I should condemn them though, there are a LOT of cost factors messing with retailers right now.

so those of us who preordered it for 15 should get it at that or what?
15 or 20 isn't there or there for me. but I curious as to what is typical.

I checked my preorder section and they are marked at $15 still. I'm kicking my self for not ordering dupes now, but I'm sure some auction, or another site will come through for me.

But this is what I'm saying about this site, yesterday the set cost $15, word got out that it was up for grabs and alot of preorders where placed stat, they jacked it up in under 12 hours.

Can I blame them for it, no. Can I see a reason for it other than seeing that they got us, no, and that right there sucks!

Sayes alot for fair play. I can't hekp but notice that any figure or set that we show intrest in gets a quick and higher mark up. Another case in point is Classics CliffJumper, the figure last week was $14. Even though it's not being sold by them, the Classics CJ upgrade set is arriving at doorsteps, and suddenly that fig went up to $23.

Once again, can I blame them...

Posted by 0ptimus Prime on March 9th, 2008 @ 8:57am CDT

And now the cost is up to $24.99! Congrats to those who got their orders in before BBTS really started the gouging. Seriously though, I find that site to be rediculous when it comes to prices. They are about my last place to buy stuff from anymore, I only use them when every other online place is sold out and they still have some in-stock (of course mainly because they are charging $10 or more than everyone else did.)

If anyone else wants to order it at a cheaper price, at the time of this message, digital-toys.com still has it at $19.99 .

This is terrible business ethics to raise the pre-order price twice in one week. Shameful.

I agree. Sadly, though, that is always the way it is with collectibles, no matter the genre. My ex-husband had the same issues with sports memorabilia....They would put something new out, with a random price on it, and watch the pre-orders roll in, and as the numbers get higher, so does the price....and twice in one week is kinda typical, at least with sports crap.

I could understand it if it was eBay. But I regard online businesses just like any other retailer. This isn't about raising the price to meet additional costs for BBTS. They are simply raising the price because the demand is going up.

I realize the solution - if you don't like their practice don't shop there. But overall, I am flabbergasted with this type of practice.

I never realized they were doing this kind of thing. I mistook what people were saying as a gradual price increase to meet rising costs.

Hell no, pay attention to upcoming figure threads, and you'll see right there that the ones that get the highest aproval in a line always get at least a ten dollar mark up, and if it's an import or larher than a deluxe...

I've been watching BBTS for a while now, and especialy since the movie, I'm sure they're watching forums and pricing towards fan intrest.

I apreciate this site cause they do offer a wide array of product, however I also condem them for flat out charging unessicary rape dollars whenever they think they can get away with it. This is not an isolated event, if it was I wouldn't be so peeved. However this seemes to be happening whenever we say "yeah" to something.

We ALL need to make money, but seriously, screw you BBTS for taking advantage of fans loyal patrionage!

Posted by rpetras on March 11th, 2008 @ 4:22pm CDT

I can't say what is causing the price rise, but don't be too sure you don't get a notice from them saying the initial price was an estimate and they then raise it.

That happened to me a couple times with import items. Domestic, not so much, but on imports especially one off items like this, it can happen.

I'm ordered at the $25 price tag

but that's OK since that is what the set is worth to me (I placed my order before I read the discussion and knew it had been cheaper).

Oh well, it won't be the first time I paid $10 too much for something, and sadly it probably won't be the last. Pile of loot option means at least I'll save a bit on shipping.

More than likely. That is so typical for collectibles! The more pre-orders that get made, the higher the price shoots up for those that hesitate to place that order! Capitalism can sometimes be ignorant like that! :grin:
