$30 deluxe figures are insane.

That price was almost 10 years ago and the MSRP was $40, not $30 IRRC.

No, because that never happened.
Human Alliance started at $50 at TRU in Canada, you can find this info in the same board you are complaining on:https://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=27329

How much were Alternators?

EDIT: Looks like they were 20 USD, so likely 30 CAD?

Memory, but I KNOW I bought several for $20 canadian at Walmart. Cos I only ever bought three at retail, those being Hound, Tracks, and Dead End.

But I think that was also a case of Alternators not being a super successful line.

I dunno. I fully understand that shit costs more, a lot more, than when Classics first dropped over ten years ago. And it's certainly going to cost a lot more than Beast Wars in 96.

WWE toys are 20 bucks for a basic hung of plastic, the articulated ones are thirty. Marvel Legends are toys that once cost like, 12 bucks and THAT seemed expensive. The high end, 6" figures with piles of articulation are expensive.

But thirty dollars for a deluxe Transformer is simply too much for me to stomach. I'm not generally interested in the Siege stuff beyond the Micromasters and Brunt, and I'm not the collector I once was. But the entire "see it the in the store, what the fuck, impulse buy" factor is GONE at those prices.

I just think/hope that Cybertron will just make a new front page post when these toys have been found at actual big box retail.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada

It's going to take a lot of discipline to avoid buying the figures I wanted to buy thinking they were at the $19.99 price point... At the $29 deluxe I might have to pass on them. I'll pickup Shockwave and see how Omega is but how much better is the figure with a $10 jump in price???
