I love most of BBi's products, but didn't care for the Cy Com concept much (I prefer 1/6 scale human figures). A long time ago I saw two of these figures at a Game Stop on sale (50% off $39.99). I told my friend (Gareee) about them - he collects them, but since he already had the two I saw he told me to hold off until they went lower.
Last month all the clearance toys at this store disappeared without a trace. What...the...hell? I failed to deliver? I missed out on a deal? ****!!!
I hadn't been back to that store since, but today I was in the area so I decided to stop in to check out the Sportspicks (always keeping an eye out for chase figures for Ed and Vic).
They didn't have anything to speak of re: Sportspicks (well, NASCAR figures were 50% off, and I have to admit that was tempting - I like those bases). On my way to the door I spotted the Cy Com figures on a lower shelf (they were back!) and did a double-take at the price...$2.99! Holy shit! I grabbed all four figures and went to check out. Turns out these toys were 50% off, so I got four 12" figures for $6.48 TOTAL! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] That's insane.

(in case Gareee reads this before his email - I'm keeping the Colossus...well, at least all of the accessories. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ).

hot damn! those things look cool! Nice score too, and the only place it could happen is Ass-backwards-crazy-upside downland, aka America
-
Oh man, that is too cool, under $3.00!?!?! I want a Colossus!
-
$3 a pop for those?! Wow... (Actually "wow" doesn't even cover it)
Only thing close I can remember that happened to me: Grabbing a discount $6 12'' Battle Droid at a walmart, only it rang up at $1 at the register.

Jeeesh - I was excited when I got 2 level 5 gungdams for $15, when they usually got for 40 each!
Nice snag!

Hope this doesn't stop any hearts, but last weekend I saw a 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime (grey gun) at Wal-Mart for $35. I passed (don't collect Transformers), but couldn't believe it was marked down already (in fact, that's the only one I've even seen around here).

All you have to do is LMK what to look for - I pass on a lot of cheap shit. Two of these were for Gareee...the Colossus was an unexpected bonus. I opened the extra Spectre...quality figure with cool accessories, but I'm still not thrilled with the overall concept (cyborg ninja, and this one has daytime camo...looks like a digital urban pattern on the shoulders). For $1.50 I think I can live with it (chrome blades are a definite plus).

The Colossus accessories are BAD ASS, including the Vulcan rotating cannon. I might replace the body...not really digging the cyborg Seal look to it ("Don't cryyyyyyyyyyyy" *opens fire*).
