So some real talk. Your friendly neighborhood terror, Monstructor, currently has all the Combiner Wars Aerialbots that form Superion’s limbs, a couple of Menasor’s limbs but I only have the CW Optimus for a body piece. I really want Cyclonus, but do plan on finishing out Superion and Menasor as well.
As of this post, Motormaster is near $40 on Amazon and eBay. So I will probably be waiting a while to get him. Cyclonus is usually around $26-27, which is slightly above retail price, and Silverbolt is easily found for less than retail. Offroad and Breakdown tend to be right at retail price when I find them.
Only Offroad and Breakdown are available at any brick and mortar stores (ie Wal-mart) that are near me. However, in a week an half I will be traveling to Gen-Con and will pass no less than 8 Toys’r’us stores.
Not to mention, bigbadtoystore.com has a Silverbolt/Motormaster pack for $50. With $5 shipping, that is pretty much what I would pay in tax. So that is the total price I would pay if I picked them up at a nearby brick and mortar store.
I would also like to get Powerglide when I get Silverbolt, which is easy enough if I purchase from Amazon. But I would really like to get Rodimus and Blackjack. I even have the original Micromaster Blackjack somewhere in storage. He holds a lot of memories for me.
So the question is, what should I get next?
Should I go ahead an Cyclonus since I kind of want him the most (marginally)? Should I suck it up and go ahead and get Silverbolt even though he is the most readily available body piece? Should I get Offroad/Breakdown since I can physically obtain them sooner? Or should I just suck it up and wait until I travel and just see what I can find? Or just do something else entirely?
And, if you believe I should wait until I travel, is there a certain priority I should pick things up in (such as, if I see Motormaster, get him no matter what, but if I see Cyclonus, wait until the next stores to see what they have)?
