The base figure is like $15 and a transforming trailer that's like 3 times its size would only add $10? lol

 

The Speed Series is the 2" legion class figures so i dont see how they benefit from the Energon Igniters line. Especially bc they arent [really] part of it. There may be something your thinking of im not?

And its funny you say the Cybertron line is overpriced but its the cheapest line of the deluxe voyager leader type categories. Its expensive to be a collector is the real deal now. Its a bummer i know especially from someone collecting since its birth basically

 

This is pretty cool, as a set idea.

 

I think that this will sell better and look better if it was sold with prime transformed with his trailer attached.  Skeletor Optimus is not too appealing to me.  

 

lol, a reissue of wave 1 and 2 Optimus with no change plus a Trailer.

It looks to me like a $25 toy, how much do you think this set will cost?

 

Might wait for the price to drop to get this for the trailer, Micros need homes too.

 

Hate being negative, but is it sad that I think the trailer looks better than the actual included Prime figure?

 

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. The Prime is also sold by itself, so anyone here showing interest is probably interested mostly in the trailer part anyways.
I myself am considering making it compatible with Siege Optimus and fill it with 5mm holes for Battlemasters, Micromasters, guns and pieces of Weaponizers.

 

I lol'ed at a $50+ price tag!   So it depends on your perspective, I suppose.

These Cyberverse toys kind of suck - I say that from experience. They feel cheap and overpriced. I think $10 for the Warriors would be more appropriate (when you consider how simple they are).

A set like this is overpriced on purpose: it gives retailers a lot of room to discount. Plus, as this is OPTIMUS (ZOMG!!!), a lot of collectors will overpay anyway. But don't be fooled by a large box - sometimes the contents really are overpriced!  

 

Oh, because later releases of unchanged figures should suddenly cost less? Damn, why isn't the MP-10 mold free at this point? I'm wondering...

 

Because, people still think it's s worth full price.

Price is determined by: manufacturing, shipping, stocking, and demand.

Everything in toys is a want not a need, so full price is partially psychological. Triptictrion was discounted so much because not enough people wanted it bad enough at full price.

We as consumers don't know what the Markup is, just that products need a large Markup and production run, to cover expenses, all under a MSRP.

This Prime and Trailer is determined by how many Primes were manufacture. Prime appears in Wave 1 and 2, so alot of Primes to flood the market. So this set probably would sell better if it were the trailer alone.
