Luckily he was sympathetic because the release date moved up like 3 weeks and said that was enough justification to hold it longer for me.

If you get the platinum edge, you get 4 days hold, and 10% off toys. It's only $10 a year or something.

so very true

While I want to wait for them to go on clearance or something, people just seem to keep buying them. Guess my Vipers will be without an Officer.

At least that is 3 figures not 1, this is bigger sucker punch.

AF of the year contender?

I heard the Mindbender release at GS is mid December now.

That is exactly why Hasbro is ramping up the price, milking it's fan base dry.

Too bad the higher price for the Viper 3-pack didn’t go towards quality control. Heard about the skin tone mismatch.

Got me Serpentor today, and WOW! If it wasn't for the price, I would say this is one of the best Classified, hell 6" figure, releases this year, or even the last few years.


The detail put into his sculpt, the cape, accessories, everything! *Chef's Kiss*


It's just that price that drags it down. I love it, but I don't think I love it at $132 (just really like it).


Makes me wonder (worry) what the price will be on the Trouble Bubble w/Tele-Viper next year.

[Prime Sinister]

Tele-viper and trouble bubble should be $55 like Breaker and RAM. Hope it won’t be an exclusive.

That's what I have. Just hoping the store holds true to what they told ne and will hold it till I get back.

"Should be" being the key. But I think we all know it won't be.

Duke & RAM is listed on Hasbro's site as 10% higher than Breaker & RAM. Guaranteed the Trouble Bubble will be at least $50 USD... So, probably $80+ in TRU Dollars

I agree, it should be. But that's very doubtful. If a semi-popular character like Serpentor could sell for over $100. A crazy popular character like Tele-Viper with the Trouble Bubble/Flight Pod, guaranteed they'll be charging around the same price. New vehicle design.
