That's right $40 each with Wheelie at $60. He was pretty rough to deal with but like I said, when he realized he'd be leaving with it all, he decided to bend his prices a little.

He would have sold out quickly had they been at $25, or even $30. But $40 seemed to be a resistance point for most people.

I would done $25, maybe. But since they are coming here eventually, I'll just be patient. I coulda swore I saw a sign that said 4 for $160......which usually means you are getting a deal.....but last time I checked 40x4 IS 160, so why bother posting such a sign.
I openly chuckled and muttered good luck, which he heard, but was kinda the point.

That table was pretty much untouched looking by end of Saturday. Come to think of it there were a surprising number of seemingly untouched tables at the end of Saturday...

Woah, they're still made in China, and not Vietnam.... well regardless i'm looking forward to having Chinese label on my packages!

I can wait it out. IfI want any of them that bad, it would be cheaper to ship them at whatever local price they are set at.

Or if they come like they are supposed to, a deluxe wheelie on sale is sweet.

That's what I told him on Saturday afternoon before closing. All four for $160 meaning you save $20 off of Wheelie's $60 mark-up? Ridiculous. And at first he said Wheelie was short packed, when he had an equal amount of all four figures in the morning. Not to mention that there was no Asian writing or stickers on any of the boxes, so not sure why since they are Asian exclusives. They'll definitely show up here at some point, well the rest of 'here', if there was no Asian writing on then there's no way in hell they'll have any French which pretty much solidifies no Quebec release.

Although all four are worth it

Alan had them at TFcon and they were in American release packaging. Not a like of Chinese on the cards.

The Asian set I got from RK was in english only and the toys were packaged in robot mode.

The US version seems to be in english/chinese with the toys in vehicle mode.

Chimungmung got both sets.

Here's a US Wheelie

I thought he was overpriced at $40. I almost crapped my pants when I found out that was the asking price.

What was worse was that he managed to move a bunch of them.
