I really want Alpine and the Chromed CC but I will not pay an exorbitant amount of money for the set. If the rumors are true (which I don't believe) that these are sitting in warehouses or store stockrooms until the older sets move, then we should be seeing them soon as stores will want to get rid of the old stock to make room for the movie line.
HTS will probably not get them back but I have seen items disappear from the site only to return as in stock items. But that was usually with current and popular items. I hope I am wrong b/c, notwithstanding my complaints, I do want a set in the end. |

I traded 2 Eels and 2 Res Troopers to get my set in box. Even asked the guy if he wanted anything else because of the DVD and Mass bit, but nope. Even knowing what these were going for on ebay he insisted on 4 figures for 4 figures. Gotta love those rare moments of increadible luck combined with unshakable trader integrity.

I've seen a 59.99 pre-order for this set at gabestoysandgames.com Does anyone know the legitimacy and reliability of this sites pre-orders?

I lucked out, because I had two, but sold those when contemplating leaving collecting. You wanna talk about seller's remorse...Once I decided to go loose, it sucked not having Alpine next to Bazooka, and a regular Cobra Commander just wouldn't do. So I buy those two guys back separately, but I was stuck with an incomplete MASS device... And it just bugged the hell out of me!
Luckily, I had a BOT80's pack in my long-forgotten Pile of Loot at BBTS...so I got my device finished, and got to get rid of the rest to offset the 37.99 price tag. At any rate... It sucks to see these not getting out to everyone, but I'm sure they will resurface somewhere. And because they are being packed out in case assortments with those pegwarmers, I bet we might see some trickle into the discount chains, like DVD set 1 & 2. On another note...after I completed the MASS, (three additional elements and all)...the feeling was kind of underwhelming...like...people are going crazy over this!? It's not even in scale! Just can't satisfy us collectors, lol! |

I have seen the Best of the 80's set a few times during Christams last year.The only figure I wanted out of the set was alpine but I don't want to pay for the whole set only for one figure.Which was 21 bucks.
