Any Transformers Xip3 Jackets in the Great White North?

These jackets came out with the TF movie.

http://www.xip3.com/transformers.html

And while they were overpriced then, they are being offered at 60% less (which still makes then $200+ USD!!!)

Anyone in Canada own one of these or seen one close up? My 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up and my wife hinted she wants to get me something "big".

I'm considering asking for one of these obnoxiously gimmick-laden bad boys in black...

Re: Any Transformers Xip3 Jackets in the Great White North?

Can't really add a room to our 950sq/ft apartment suite, however my co-workers are considering bringing their kids in to look at my cool window display.

Had to move Animated Grimlock and my TWOK USS Enterprise so that I can actually have documents on my desk for once...

Re: Any Transformers Xip3 Jackets in the Great White North?

Even at ~200 USD this seems expensive and unpractical. The lining just some cheap fleece instead of actual down or duck feathers. You'll be freezing in winter (Oh wait, you're in BC). Still, the products seem to be more hype than substance. It really looks cheap man. You're better off to make her buy an expensive peacoat, parka or Canada Goose coat/jacket

Ebay is really a great alternative to items you see sold in retail stores, you might find these cheaper there.

Hey Dark Rage,

I did scour eBay for this jacket AND the internet for any images not from the manufacturer website with no success.

It's almost as if no one bought these jackets. And if they did, then non one is showing them off.

Maybe they are P.O.S. jackets...
