Pricey, but worth it.

I hope so. The book would be cool and all, but 120 is way, way too much for my TF fund. I understand the cost it takes for BBTS to get these, but damn.

Actually, if Hasbro only do one repaint of Jazz I think I'd rather it was Dead End.

You don't have to be rich to drop $120 on a Transformer. I'm certainly not "rich" by any definition, and I've spent more than that on a single toy while living on a modest newspaper salary.

Well, you are right; you don't have to be rich to spend $120 on a single toy, but the idea just seems a little less appealing when you're not. For me, that's pretty much my whole "Fun Budget" for over a month, and there are a lot of other things I could spend my money on instead.
That said, I REALLY wish I had the cash to get this guy, book or not! Maybe I can set up a payment plan with BBTS or something?

Skids and Screech were $70 each.
Electro Mirage was originally $90.

The thing is, they went for 70-80 each not 120.

They know the demand for this guy will be much higher.

Yup, just like I said earlier, it's the FP Cliffjumper head dilemma all over again.

Oh, wait $120 is the real price?
Posted by Blurrz on April 21st, 2011 @ 6:49pm CDT
However, it's a bit of an outrage for a Deluxe, considering Ani Black Rodimus is $85 and EG Prowl is $100. And I don't exactly think that Nebulon/Nightstick is worth $30 more. Oh well.. you gotta pay to play these days.

Both of the figures that have had huge prices cuts are Strafe and DS. Stepper is not comparable to Gentei Strafe or Gentei Dark Skyfire. Strafe used the Cyclonus mold, where in many fans just felt that it didn't capture the character.. even though the comic did help, and the figure is freaking sweet with the Gold targetmaster. Dark Skyfire was wicked, but at the same time, many fans didn't feel it was all too good as it was just a reiteration of a character and wasn't required. However, Stepper's character is someone who hasn't had a Classics-verse reiteration and just check out the board support for this figure, it's crazy.
For those worried about the price, keep on mind that...

Entirely possible, but in this case I'd rather know that I've got one coming than wait it out for the sake of 20 or 30 dollars, hell that ain't even a good night's drinking.

I was once so naive, but it takes experience to be more sophisticated with raw dawggin selection. Until then, feast your eyes on a real sexy bitch:
She was $67.00 shipping included.

Oh. That sucks. For $120, you'd think this was the listing with the book.

If Hasbro really does decide to make Stepper, Nightstidck/Nebulon will probably be left out since he's gangmolded with U-Cyclonus. Look at BiS Cyclonus, Nightstick has the same shade of purple as Cyclonus on the feet and waist joint.

It'd be neat if TFC made stuff like this easier to get for US folks, maybe have their own production run with a unique box and art.

Nice imagination, but that's still RTS Jazz with Nightstick, not Stepper with Nightstick.

Agreed, I'm Jazz got the Bling, then Stepper is the one that SELLS the Bling to jazz.
In retrospect, not as much sense as it made in my head

Good idea, might make Strafe worth buying now.
