Re: The Seige Ultra Mangus pic, seems like Voyage class
Takara/Hasbro really don't care how these figures are going to scale with previous lines. Seige and everything onwards is all new and they're probably going to redo a bunch of characters we have already seen (like Rodimus and the likes). As long as the figures are good quality (so far so good), I'll happily buy them for a different scaled display.

Add fuel to the fire!
Another V and L class.
And before someone try to justify this... they are from the same SS line.

Perfect, his robot mode height should stay the same.

yeah, I think the scale is perfect... just not the price difference.

It's obvious just from looking at that picture what the difference is.
DOTM Megs clearly has more mass, more paint, a removable weapon and that cloak.
That all costs money to produce, which means we have to pay more for it.
Price points aren't based on figure size, they're based on how much money it costs to make them.
My personal favorite comparison is to put CW Megatron next to TR Overlord. Both are leader class toys, but Megatron looks more like an expensive toy. He looks much bigger and more complex. But according to the way Hasbro prices things out they have about the same amount of plastic in them, which is where most of the cost comes from.

My personal feeling is that Hasbro is asking us to pay more for less toy at nearly every size class, and my buying habits are adjusting accordingly.

My wallet is aching but Magnus does look good beside Prime but for 70 bucks?

It's not like SS ROTF Voyager Megatron a crappy toy. Do you actually think the "more mass, more paint, a removable weapon and that cloak." really worth the extra price?

Ditto..
and I'm feeling both: 1) I can't wait, and 2) very afraid when Omega Supreme is revealed and released.
I'm not sure what I'll get in the next waves aside Soundwave, the cassettes, Ironhide, Sixgun, Brunt, and Starscream...

Can't wait for the second wave. Wonder how the ironhide will look like. By the way Prime has such a huge backpack. If only Hasbro or somebody with a 3D printer should make a jetpack on top of that ugly backpack because they do have 2 ports back there. Come on Hasbro it's 2019 can't we do without huge backpacks and bits and pieces here and there!
