If this was a $40 figure, it would be fine, but this is going to be like $80. At the end of the day, it's your money, so if you're fine with it, then great. But just know, you're kind of getting bent over here.
They've been overcharging and giving us less for our dollar spent for a while now because they realize some will will buy regardless of price. For me, I've hit my limit.
Just a simple example to illustrate.
In 1984 a G1 Optimus Prime was $20 Can.
In 2008ish the 25th Anniversary Reissue cost $40 Can., which followed inflation. Look at all the stuff we got for that price.
In 2018, if the price followed inflation a Re-issue G1 Optimus Prime should cost around $50 Can. The Walmart Re-Issue of G1 Optimus Prime cost $70 Can. and this what we got for that money. No trailer. No extras. Just bare bones.
