Costume transformations..? That's all they added this week?
PPD Hardsuit?
*yoink!*
Dang, I forogot which poster it is who has been constantly lobbying for a Rikit Epic AT for the past umpteen years, and used to speak in Rikti on the boards. He will be pleased by this option.

Assumption: I thought Techbot did some sort of robospeak...not Rikti.
Oh wait...that was HK-47....

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
@Lyrik
These are pretty cool, hope there's more stuff tommorrow though. Even if it's not much.
480 points still!?
Oh well, at least I know I can save points on this week.

I believe these are the convention costumes, not the ToT available ones. Only downside is weapons are invisible when in costume, oddly the nem staff , blackwand and ghost axe are not.
$6 is not a very appealing price for an NPC costume, to me, at least.

Looks like that's it for this week. Lame few weeks for the market, in my opinion. =\ 3 mission story arc (and 2 helmets), Halloween pack (not big on Halloween themed stuff), and costume powers. Here's to hoping next week is something better. I'd prefer the Gunslinger set or Titan Weapons, though I think Titan Weapons needs a lil more tweaking before going on live.
(Again, all in my opinion, I'm sure some people loved the fish heads and snake hair, just not my thing.)
Edit: And now that I think about it, did they remove all these before so they could release em 3 at a time on dead weeks? That's pretty weak.

Nope, none of these were in the store before. Just the ToT costumes.. And not even all of those.

As I said in the previous thread when some costume powers went "on sale", I'd maybe spend 50 cents on one of those, possibly up to a dollar for the rare/exclusive ones if I desperately wanted them for a concept, but that's about all they're worth to me. $6 is better than $10 but they're still going to have to try harder.
In my eyes they're pretty much equivalent to a single costume piece, and when bundles of costume pieces clock in at 400 points, I just can't justify the asking price.

I was amused to find some actual cool costume transform powers in the market today: Rikti Mentalist, Carnival Harlequin, and PPD Hardsuit. While I'm sure 480 points is to rich for many tastes (including myself for *two* of those options) I snagged the Rikti as fast as could manage to click the option. I ran around for a little while in that form on my char Rik'Tus (who was always designed to look like one of the aliens) and it made me totally happy, so definitely a worthwhile purchase in my perspective.
My wife is hoping coralax will pop up sometime soon.
