    Yeah, I gotta say, it's getting annoying seeing a thread about this every other day. Buy it or don't buy it, simple choice.

    Quoted in the vain hope that more people will read it.

    As long as they look good it's really up to us if we choose to buy...people getting mad probably won't change a thing

    I agree with all these threads and it would be a good idea to send all of them in printed form to hasbro in letters as a complaint about what they have done.

    Yeah, because reducing profits in order to please the adult collectors in a toyline primarily aimed at children is a viable business strategy.

    So we're not allowed to enjoy the fact that you're now dealing with what the rest of the world has had to for years?

    By all means if you like getting bad deals and less fun then settle for whatever crap you can get. Hell, why not make these toys even more cost effective and get rid of that profit sucking transformation gimmick. The target audience is too stupid to really appreciate it anyway right??? If you like apologising for Corporate interests so much why not send them your resume.

    People have already explained why this is happening. I don't need your aggressive attitude, my dear.

    It could be if you make a drinking contest out of it.

    low sales sends a better message to Hasbro, and from what i read in every one of these daily threads SALES ARE DOWN

    wait so all these years, you foreigners have been getting smaller/hollow/lighter/cheaper toys while we havent?? yeah sucks to be you i guess

    anyway joking aside, my complaint isnt about the inflating price, its the "getting less bang for your buck", thats my complaint

    I think so too.

    That's not a bad idea.

    If there are alot of complaints then that means there is a problem!

    Use your wallet to vote out these unexcusable attempts at figures. Im sure Hasblow would just say " There is no more interest in anything Transformer anymore" but everyone else ( 3rd parties) will know the truth.

    Stop putting people down for complaining about a legitamte problem, it only proves how Complacent you are and that type of attitude causes problems not solutions.
