Re: Walmart Exclusive Generation 1 Optimus Prime Vintage Reissue Out in Canada
I'm actually a bit worried about this. This price is simply too high for what it is. I'm worried that this will get fans to cut back on their buying and that this will negatively affect Hasbro's bottom line. We might also all wait for a sale (like many I don't need this, but might buy it on sale), but the message will be the same. From a sales point of view it will look like no-one wants to support the G1 reissues and they may get quietly dropped. The real message is different, we like the G1 reissues, just not at this price. Perhaps this is what they have to charge, but given that prime is about as big and complex as Starscream, yet costs more, I don't think that's true. It really does feel like a cash grab. I just hope it doesn't end up hurting Hasbro and the hobby, because someone gets the wrong message about why this didn't work.
