I believe board member CKWG was selling his metroplex at metrocon and his was basically the same price, same description (missing the small gun).

If it is CKWG, I'm pretty sure his is a real G1 Metroplex as I was sharing the table with him at Metrocon.

That craigslist posting of Metroplex is mine, I can assure you that it's the G1. I have both Encore reissue Metroplex and KO Metrotitan and both of those got inferior plastic quality than the G1.
It does have some age wear, like chrome wear on the thighs, and stickers colors not as sharp.

Perhaps I traded my Defender for the wrong figure.

Drat, if I hadn't completely, totally and utterly demolished my budget at Metrocon I'd love to give him a home.

Speaking of KO's, I was surprised Ages Three and Up had a glass case containing a KO Blue Mirage, Insecticons, and mini-bots. At first I thought they were original and was about to go on a crazy spending binge until I realized they were the high quality KO's.

A3U has had "unofficial" TFs sold in store for ages now. They don't seem to advertise it heavily.

My apologies then...was just making a comment based on Darth Cylon's "hmmm". I happen to have the KO so was pointing out that it's hard to tell without a closer look.

Just preordered MP Bluestreak and Prowl off HLJ... basically buy one get one half off compared to BBTS. First time ordering from them, I hope it goes well... I'll be keeping my BBTS preorders just in case, they'll get their stock later anyway.

So if I chose Paypal and Private Warehouse, they'll send me a payment request when they're in stock?

Also, is it worth it to order Takara deluxes, or after shipping would it work out to about the same as getting them at A3U?

What was the shipping from HLJ? I've never bought from them beore and was considering order from them. What was the shipping option that would not have brokerage fee? SAL was it?
