Something tells me that those guys will stick around for a while. $120 is a lot for two figures and seeing as a lot of people didn't seem to care for tigatron you'll have a good chance at getting him later.

Honestly if you're going to do that I'd just buy the two pack. All the unit-3 figures I've seen on eBay are selling for about the same price as the pair and even if you don't want tigatron you could just sell him and recoup some of the money spent.

You could preorder him for non-attendees. They were very big on announcing he was a G1 bot and that you should preorder him or be sad forever.
It just sucks that they are selling the stickers separately, especially since they are needed. This isn't like the Primal figure with stickers for his surfboard.

No they didn't. Assembled class figures never came with sticker sheets. Only those who attended the classes got the stickers.Wolfman Jake wrote:I'm crushed that there are no customization class Ratchets to sell on the club store.

You are correct. The figures were sold individually at the show this year. It looks like they paired them up for the club store though. Probably to ensure more product moves out of their warehouse. I believe they were $49 a piece at Botcon for figures like Tigatron and Unit-3 if I remember correctly.Lucky Logician wrote:Didn't other 2 packs go for like $80 in the past? But Tigatron plus Unit 3 plus stickers is $120? So the sticker set costs another $40? Too steep for my tastes.
Also, I thought I remembered them saying everything would be sold individually this year. Am I crazy?
That's just the way things were. Assembled class figures never came with stickers, as they were reserved only for those who attended the classes.Omegatrion84 wrote:Nice. I'm glad they made that sticker sheet available for Ratchet. I wonder why they weren't available at the show...

Machine Wars would like a word with you.
It's entirely possible but I'm going to order Tigatron/Unit-3 in a couple weeks. Picked up CW Prowl and Ironhide extras for half-price the other day and Silverbolt is still cheap on BBTS. EDIT: I really hope the Predacus set will be available later this summer. I simply can't afford or justify the price right now given the Canadian exchange rate.
Disappointed I won't be able to get my hands on Airazor or the custom class Ratchet. I'll survive.
I still think Megatron going for $1000 dollars right now (check ebay sold listings) is spectacularly absurd. Eh. Wonder if I'll ever be able to pick up Terrorsaur for around $100 shipped.
Cool!
