Re: ebgames preorder for the new masterpiece Optimus prime.
If retail really does try for $600 + tax, it will be interesting to see how many they sell. Also how fast they will drop the price after release if they aren't selling.
I can see Hasbro dipping their toes into this price range, especially after Jabba's Sail Barge for $750 this past year. However I think it is a whole different ballgame expecting retail to move units at this price than a direct to collectors sale like Jabba's Sail Barge.
I guess the only "good" thing, and I use the term loosely, about the price, if true, is that scalpers who swoop in early will probably be left holding expensive stock no one will pay their stupid mark up prices for MP-44.
