To buy or not to buy... Hmmm... It's like having one figure for free and the concept of them seem quite nifty...
With that quantity, I really think you can wait for a rebate. Unless grandmothers think it will make a big and impressive gift to their grandkids. The affordability of this pack makes it hard to know if it will shelf warm or not.
Oh and for that previous discussion, Scalpers are real and ever present, especially in my area (Montreal, Qc). There is a big collector base and a lot of activity on the classified adds market. I will often know something has hit the shelves if I see in the classified adds before anywhere else.
Quick story. For some reason, the Silver Knight Optimus and Grimlock 2 pack exclusive at target (the one with deluxe DOTM Optimus and Generations Grimlock) was priced at only 16.99. That's great news to fans. But for the first 2 weeks, I could not find it anywhere. It was in the classified adds (kijiji.ca) selling for 30-40$ but no where in stores. The scalpers had bought them all. Target eventually got more and as I write this, the shelves still have them in stock and at that same crazy price (which means it never was a mistake) so I got my set and the scalpers had to lower their prices. They are probably still stuck with them, which serves them right.
