Almost 80 bucks with tax for a Weaponizer repaint? I saw this yesterday at TRU and it was an easy pass, paint looked sparse and he just didn't look that great... I will save my money for Metroplex and Soundwave.

I have the Voyager (BH) already, and that's better looking IMO. If Platinum gets clearanced for 30-35 I will get it...

I like it and since I don't even have any of its "mold brothers" I will pick it up. Just hope the price drops a bit before I'm overwhelmed and grab it regardless of price.
Of course, I would rather see Omega Supreme but luckily I grabbed one over in Taiwan.

How is this $80 after taxes? The weaponizer mold is valued at around $35. The hammer accessory must be made out gold or something. I liked the original weaponizer Prime so I wouldn't mind picking this up but not at this price.

_almost_ $80. I think the extra cost is for the packaging....

Yeah, in Ontario it's 13% sales tax so it works out to $79.09. But hell, extra costs to cover packaging? Is there a secret message embedded in the artwork that'll lead me to buried treasure? Maybe there's some hidden numbers that'll help me win the lottery.

It's called buying a brand. You stick PLATINUM on there, put in some fancy packaging and rank up the price. They assume people will buy it because it sounds super expensive and collectable.

And chest windows. And rooftop.

What I'd really like to see are some good comparisons between this and the BH voyager. Granted, they probably exist, so I guess what I'm saying is that I'm gonna seek them out & figure out which one (if any) really grabs me before saying yes or no, even in my head... at which time I'll get the one I like on sale.

Not worth it for the original price for some mods and a hammer
