    well hasbro is gonna price themselves i to bankruptcy ( okay not really but still…… ) at this rate. 20 bucks was already pushing the line but above that…..uh uh. And like i said before with thwir qc they’re gonna loose a lotta business. Looks like its the discount chain waiting game at 25 plus.

    They will price themselves into bankruptcy if they DON'T raise costs...
    And who are you all kidding? You'll keep buying the toys, you addicts. lol
    (Of course it's never hurt to play the discount chain waiting game on the figures priced as they are now. You can usually tell what's gonna trickle down)

    They could cut costs by quit producing those gimmicky garbage things that never sell. And an addict I may be but my wallet agrees to no more than 20. ;)

    I personally love the $20 price point as well. But I see dark days ahead...

    Pulse has shipped my Galvatron and Predacon Scorponok, but not Wingfinger, for some reason. I'll trust the Galvatron will have the good shoulders.

    I'll be at Lexcon this weekend, and I'll report on what TFs I can find on Thursday night if anyone else is going or wants to buy their way in.

    the last time I went to a LexCon the only transformer I saw and bought was the takara ratbat from the scourge generations mold...got for like $20...ended up selling it a couple years ago because price went crazy for it. The rest was like majority star wars and marvel legends. And way overpriced.

    Update: My Wingfinger shipped late last night.

    Did anyone ever manage to find SS Jolt, Thrust and ROTF Bee? They're probably stuck in a shipping container somewhere right now.

    I’ve had Thrust since early August via Target and ROTF Bee for a long time by technicality (I bought the Buzzworthy release in 2020) but the SS Deluxes haven’t been seen anywhere in the US yet to my knowledge

    Actually managed to score a Bee Movie Thrust from one of the vendors at LexCon. It was the only one anyone had, and worth the extra $10 above retail.

    Jolt already shipped out. One less I don’t have to worry about. These store trips lately have been very disappointing
