It's not scalping at this point. It's a very popular short run figure, of course the price has gone up.

But hey, I can leave mine in the package so I can enjoy a 400% return on him someday!

Haven't they been firmly anti-Headmaster for decades now? The closest we got was Energon Omega Supremee, and even that was only because it had a smaller alternate head in case you lost the part.

I'd argue Armada Sideways was closer since not only did he have two transforming head minicons, but they also had something similar to the "stat display" gimmick the originals had given that they changed the faction symbol on his chest.

He also had the tiny default head. Designers didn't want kids to end up with a totally headless toy.

I'd like to see that character get a figure/appearance in generations/IDW. He's a fairly unique and interesting character, and probably the only good idea from that series. He's not a double agent, he's playing both sides to keep them in balance and make the war last as long as possible because he's some kind of Unicron spawn (it's never quite explained what he is) and Unicron runs on conflict and hatred.

I went in to a local comic shop yesterday and they had a bunch of encore edition G1 stuff. I bought the Takara version of Sideswipe (Lambor) for $25.00. It had been opened and stickers applied but everything was in the box. Judging by eBay prices I got a pretty good deal.

Check your local Target to see if leader class Predaking is clearanced to $25.

Went to Target, they had the wave with Scoop, Starscream, Skywarp and the Minicons.

I wanted the Minicons so that worked out well, but I saw ONE Goldfire over the holidays at various stores on the North Side of Chicago, no Skids or Waspinators.

I can just wait for BBTS to get of their rear end and distribute those two, but this must be frustrating for some people.

So shiny. I still hope they do their own Grimlock, to scale and with a dino mode as articulated as this Slag.

That Slag looks amaaaaazing and I hope it turns out to be.

Also, in this pic from the Super Bowl trailer, I like the autobot symbol on the parachute. Nice touch.

He does come with elevator shoes for Grimlock that make Grimlock the right height in comparison to Slag and MP-10. Not ideal, but they don't look too bad.

What do you mean by "forced"? I'm asking this because DOTM was also cited as one of the best uses of 3D, and it also uses actual 3D cameras instead of post-conversion.

Oh local theatres only had it in 3D for several weeks, so we were 'forced' to see it since the group made plans and you get the idea. I meant forced to see it in, this time I'll just pass.

I don't care for 3D and the eyestrain isn't worth it for me.
