Alternators Rodimus & Anime Store Question

[Dark Rage]

Hey, just wondering if anyone plans to get the SDCC exclusive Alternators Rodimus. I'm not sure how exclusive it will be, whether it's more exclusive (and hence more expensive) than the Nemesis Prime Alternator, but I'm sort of tempted to pre-order on ebay (for like $60 and shipping). I don't know if this would eventually become available on online retailers like BBTS or Kooltoyz (Since the Nemesis Prime was available). I'd appreciate any input.

Also, for any Torontonians, does anyone know if the chinese anime stores in the GTA (more or less Chinatown or Pacific mall) are open to haggling or no taxes on their products anymore?

I used to buy gundam from Fata Anime in high school, and now they're Omake Hobby, but they're the only store that's open to haggling if you pay them cash upfront. I asked Kikiwai before, but they always charge tax now I guess most stores have gone legit.

Sheraz (kooltoyz) did mention he was hoping to get some SDCC Rodimus Alts. When I asked, he did not know about pricing yet.

I think they will be in the same range as Nem. Prime. I'm not going on anything in particular here... just a gut feeling.

I'm still on the fence about getting him. On the one hand he is the ONLY figure I would need to have a "complete" Alternators line. On the other hand, I picked up KP Rodimus (who is awesome BTW) b/c I figured Hasbro would never release him over here. What to do... What to do.

I already have 3 pre-ordered from a seller............ I am crazy... (Hot Rod/Rodimus fanboy) as for Toronto stores, while I am a montrealer, when I visit Toronto, i always make sure to hit Pacific Mall, nice stuff there.

Who's selling them on Ebay? I would like to know. I'm very interested in getting both.

I never got any luck at PacMall. Every time I'm there, I can find only one store that carries transformers. And it only carries Masterpiece and usually just 1 copy. I prefer first markham place.

I do have Alt. Nemesis Prime in stock right now. As for the Alt. Rodimus I am working on it, hopefully I will know something within a week or so.

Damn I have no will-power. Preordered. Hopefully Sheraz will get his price online and I can cancel.
