    Checked 3 of my local Targets this morning. One had Scouts for $9.29, Deluxes for $13.09. Another had Scouts for $7.99, Deluxes for $11.99. The third had Scouts for $8.44, Deluxes for $11.89.

    Dude, in Canada, the regular price for an ROTF deluxe is $16, so stop complaining.

    Here it is:

    Scout: 9.99
    Deluxe: 15.99
    Voyager: 29.99
    Leader: 59.99
    Supreme: 79.99

    EDIT: Human Alliance Bumblebee is $50 here! Make what you will of that! The two-pack Animated Shockwave/Sunstorm packs were $50! Superion is $60!

    A couple weeks ago, one of the Targets that I go to in the city of Chicago raised their prices. FAB'S, RR'S and Gravity Bots were $13.49. Everything else was normal priced.

    You know what? These threads always amuse me.

    You know why? All the people who are like 'well, f-you, in my country prices are x amount'.

    You know what else? After all this time we f-ing get it. Crap's more expensive across the boards. We really do get it, but that's not going to stop us from complaining when our prices go up from what we're used to now is it? Seriously, like you guys keep telling us, get over it. Please note that this doesn't apply to everyone who talks about their country's prices in a thread like this...

    Well, now that that little rant is out of my system... I'll just say that I do sympathize with the stupid pricing in other countries... especially as it seems to be slowly creeping it's way into the US pricing as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly can't spend what I used to on Transformers with the economy being what it is currently and the randomized price hikes don't help any (especially when, like Scantron said, you can go to three different versions of the same store and see three different prices).

    In B.C, we get the Canadian prices and such slow waves.

    I haven't seen regular TFA Shockwave yet! We only have wave ROTF!

    it makes no sense.
