I recently came into a chunk of cash I wasn't expecting, and I've been seriously considering getting metroplex. I don't think he's worth $140, but I do have a costco membership so I was thinking of going there and seeing if they have him for $80. I've even heard some costcos marked him down to $50. Is he worth it at any of those price points?
He's also a pretty big shelfwarmer, right? Could I conceivably see him drop even further in price?
How much would you pay for Metroplex?

Re: How much would you pay for Metroplex?
I've yet to see one at retail. He'd be worth $50 to me. I don't know if I'd go $70, though it's probably worth that. There's just a limit to how much I'm willing to pay for an action figure, even one as big as Metroplex.

Re: How much would you pay for Metroplex?
I saw few at Costco about a month ago when they were around $80. Bit too much for me at the time. I'd certainly consider it for around $50, but they were all gone when I was there last weekend...

Re: How much would you pay for Metroplex?
I was surprised to see a TRU have him at full price a while ago, which is what prompted me to think about buying him. I was guessing that he'd start dropping in price after Christmas, and I also remember Armada Unicron being on shelves well into Cybertron's run (though oddly enough, no Omega Supremes), so I was just wondering if I could pick him up on the cheap.

Re: How much would you pay for Metroplex?
I doubt you'll find one on discount. He really isn't shelfwarming at all. I've seen two at retail, both at Toys R Uses and neither one lasted a week. And that was at full price. My parents found several at Costco (one of which wound up being a Christmas gift for me) but the last time I was at that same Costco they didn't have any left. Having said that, I do think he's worth getting, at the very least I would say he's worth the Costco price. He's huge, and while being billed as in scale with Legends size figures, he can actually hold a full deluxe Autobot in his chest and on his leg ramps.
