Is new pricing keeping you away?

When those toys came out, deluxes were still 14.99-16.99 MSRP.

When Combiner Wars hit, the deluxe price jumped to 17.99 and then 19.99 during or with TR.

The MSRP for deluxes for most of Prime Wars was 19.99. It jumped ten dollars for Siege. We went from about a five dollar increase over five years to ten dollars in one. and now another 7.

These have comic inside, I think it's US version.

I believe big chain stores only got the versions with cardboard backing, no comics. Only comic book/independent stores got them with comics, since they get it from a different distributor than TRU/WM (And probably a slightly higher price).

USA got comics at retail. Canada didn't. Lol remember those couple waves where everybody had that shitty orion pax art.

For some reason the wave with CW Sunstreaker, Prowl, Ironhide, and Mirage had the comics included in Canadian retail.

I think direct market stores got comics. Like a comic or specialty shop that ordered them from previews.

Been away from looking at Transformers for a few months, and I'm having trouble following pricing... I'm seeing deluxes @$40, voyagers @$70, leaders @$90?

Yes and more increases to come.

[wesperino]

I'm definitely questioning whether I really NEED some of these new releases.

Just saw laser prime at walmart. He and galvatron at $76 before tax is a hard reality.

Maybe these things will just keep shelves warm as lots of folks are bailing at these prices.

That or wait for a clearance like they are doing with beast megs @ $39

That's not correct.


MSRP is around: Deluxes are $37, Voyagers are $48, leaders are $77.
