Please update us on what they say.

Yeah, I got my refund fairly easily, I had the delivery guy take a picture of the package so I'd have proof it was handed to me this way.

Was in stock when I clicked and placed an order. Seems expensive

Excellent, that is good to hear you got your money returned easily.

Just a wild story, someone I assume at the warehouse, cut it open for a $40 toy.

Thanks for the link.


Heads up though: I think your link may include a reference to your account/wish list or something because when I got to the portion of checkout where I had to pick an address for delivery there were the normal addresses I have along with a name I'd never seen before and a hidden "gift registry address" in Vancouver. I'm thinking that might've been you because I used your link to get to the item page.



It doesn't display an address, just the city and a full name. Thought you might want to know in case that's not something you want advertised.

MSRP for voyagers is 45$ now?

Has been since Kingdom Wave 1. Lots of places seemed reluctant to charge that price initially though.

really? Excluding the weird walmart snafu where they were charging $10 LESS for wave 1 voyagers, I thought I'd pretty consistently seen them at $39.99. TRU has Kingdom Optimus Primal available at that price, and Amazon pre-orders on Wave 2 including Dinobot and Inferno are both right around there too.



I was actually under the impression that the price bumps might be specific to the specialty imprints like Studio Series 86 or the Retro Reissue Headmasters. For those Amazon was selling Deluxe 86 bots and Walmart the Headmasters all at $32.99, so a Voyager bump to $44.99 doesn't seem too out of line with what I'd expect.



Of course I also did buy SS86 Grimlock at the standard Leader price of $69.99. And TRU is now doing pre-orders on both of the first two waves of Kingdom Deluxes at $32.99, which is also what they sold Runabout at prior to the sale last week (and yet Thrust was the "regular" Voyager price of $39) so..... *shrug*


It's all kinda weirdly random and wild-westy. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they just decided to bump the price up now and blame the pandemic for materials issues, production cost spikes, and shipping wonkiness after having already done the larger price jump in the last couple years that saw Deluxes go from $20 to $30.
