Yeah that's what I'm wondering... whether or not this is actually a new price for that size class, or if Amazon themselves are also just sort of taking advantage of pre-order and/or limited stock hype and jacking the price temporarily simply because they can.
I know their prices constantly fluctuate with other items, but they're usually within cents or a few dollars of each - just never seen THIS kind of crazy jump before. Curious if that's a normal thing for Transformers sold by them or if it's a new thing.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion
It's just Amazon pricing. They've done this with a few figures. The price will go back down if they get more stock.
Hasbro is not going to jump the price of a leader by $20 in the middle of a line.

Figured as much, but good to have to confirmed by someone more in the know. Mainly because if this SS Sludge pre-order goes as expected, I'll likely move more TF purchasing to Amazon in the future.

I wouldn't recommend relying on Amazon.ca for any preorders. Tons of preorders go unfulfilled or get cancelled for no reason. GameStop is definitely the safer bet. Amazon US might be a little more reliable. Depends how the pricing lines up after exchange as to whether or not it's worth ordering there.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion
Just got Legacy core class Shockwave from amazon.ca. Yes they actually shipped a new Transformers in the estimated time and I received it. I am shocked.

Well the only other pre-order I had with them was Kickback (for $33.99 before they raised it to $44.99) and it was delivered right on schedule, so no complaints yet. Guess we'll see how this SS Sludge pre-order slated for Monday goes, though.

Generally I would agree but in these crazy times, I don't discount anything!

Yeah, hopefully it will be okay. Usually exclusives are more of a problem. But there are members whose Motormaster preorders are getting canceled, so you never know. I also received my Legacy Wave 1 stuff without issues, but I've had problems with other stuff in the past. Just want to make sure people are aware that Amazon can't necessarily be trusted to fulfill orders.
