is this normal?

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/s...ch=botcon+2011

Hi, anybody who has knowladge about Botcon, these exlusives are based off of my favourite toy line, and having trouble buying them because of their price tag, I know they are exlusives and limited what else can I benefit from this?

UPDATE how much do these cost???

Re: is this normal?

Man, if I had that kind of money to blow on Botcon stuff I wouldn't have any gaps in my HftD/RtS/Generations collection, hell, I could have attended the con and got them for the con prices.

And I want them all too. Well maybe not all, I think one Autotrooper is good enough. And now I personally have learned of Fisitron.

Re: is this normal?

Fisitron is the only exclusive I need so far, but damned if I can find a price I am comfortable with.

The after-con prices are silly on these... I consider myself lucky I got my sets for cheaper than what BBTS, and EBAY are selling for...

Re: is this normal?

Yeah, it is unfortunate but normal. The biggest issue with these prices is that someone will pay them. Those of us who are cheap-asses either have to pay the price or accept not having the figures.

Cr@p on a cracker, even if those Stunticons combined into an awesome looking animated Menasor I still wouldn't drop $450 on them.

so true. i look at them and accept not having them since they weren't in the TV show. I already burned thru a lot of money to build my TFA collection this year.

BUT! If the botcon set was Voyager Thundercracker, Ramjet, Slipstream, fugitive waspinator, and some repaint, I would've totally picked up this set for $400+!
