eBay seller Pren01 has an auction for an unpainted Transformers Collectors Club Nightbeat figure (base colours of blue and yellow) for sale at the moment. It will be interesting to see if eBay grant Master Collectors their eBay mod powers in order to remove the item (which is doubtful) as they had with the BotCon sets.
