Tober - Thanks man! And for the tip on Starscream - but he just looks too plain. Think I'll pass. I'm just looking for Sunstorm and am debating whether or not to try and find a WWI Optimus Prime.
Alpha OTS - D'oh, thanks! He does look better when correctly transformed!
Maybe, but it's hard to say. The weekend of SDCC he was selling for $60 on eBay - and I thought about buying him.
I got lucky and bought 1 each of Rodimus & Menasor from HTS early monday morning after SDCC. Wish I had gotten a few extra, but at the time I didn't want to push my luck with the store site (remembers the horrors of last year's Nemesis Prime fiasco) and checked out quickly.
Then, when he was officially sold out on HTS, I think prices haven risen by $10 - but keep checking eBay regularly ... sometimes I've seen a semi-decent priced buy-it auction. Good luck mate.
