True enough, and I do have TM Repugnus sitting around.

Agreed. I think I buy maybe 25% of my Transformers in stores these days. And with Marvel stuff it's even worse, to the point where I don't even bother looking for Legends figures in store anymore unless it's an exclusive. It really does suck some of the fun out of collecting. Having the stuff is fun, yes, but going to the store and seeing what new stuff they had in stock used to be fun too.

That's actually pretty reasonable. When I checked closer to release date he was getting scalped pretty hard, and the US TRU wouldn't ship him to Canada. Unfortunately for me, the trick will now be finding one where the shipping to Canada isn't going to cost more than the figure itself.
