    $45 are the fringes on the most i would pay for a legends scale figure, doesnt matter how articulate or how many goodies he comes with (IF The Tyrant), IMO it's ridiculous paying north of $50 for a Legends scale figure.

    For Hasbro stuff, sure. For third party low volume production, high parts count, multiple paint apps and accessories, and a niche market that has a slow return on investment, well, good luck on the real intricate and larger ones.

    I understand that, and i would pay over $60, when it's a combiner. Otherwise, your basic 4-4.5" figure? nope.
    $35 seems about right to me, considering everything mentioned above.
    We're still talking about figures made in china for a fraction of a penny.
    And before anyone mentions the quality of products made in China, i also buy guitars, most of them imports (chinese, korean, indonesian, etc) so i do know that quality products can me made there, that's not my point, My point is it's a 4" figure priced like it's twice its size, that's all

    I think you just priced yourself out of every Optimus Prime option.

    Literally good luck getting anything of good quality at that price point for legends or legends + figs. Cause its not about quantity its about the quality if a mp in the size of your palm. Well how am i to judge.. we have a master of guitars here after all

    There aren't any rules, but we're discussing prices here. That's a $15 KO of a $35 figure. Yes it supports your point that it's a cheap legends, but it's cheap because they (Kubianbao) didn't do the leg work that Generation Toys did in creating the figure.

    1. All of them are not released as of yet, so telling about quality and pricing cant be compared to those products.
    2. MFT did KO that Grimlock so its going to be obviously cheaper.
    3. Have you heard of the DX9 War in pocket line? well they are priced over 60 as well and are good.
    4. This is an Original creation by MFT, with No KOing off from any others, so yes its going to be expensive.
    5th Iron Factory figures tend to change how much they are worth from strore to store, if your fine with paying TF-direct shipping be my guest. But id rather wait for it to be made by MFT where it will be less brittal and in scale with other figures.
    Lastly the Kubianbao has a crap plastic quality and tends to bend and warp over time. Thats why they are one of the worst KO companies out there. Price and money shouldnt really be an issue for our collection, i would rather pay under 100 at least for figures like these.
