    I believe everyone feel the same here.

    Just Hasbro's way milking those mold making us pay for it.

    Assuming you're talking about the Sideswipe and Skywarp packs, they're rounded up $2-4 to the nearest 10 - not much of a markup for exclusives, really. The $10 markup on the Impactor vs. Mirage pack is the one that bothers me.

    I was just a bit thrown off after the last few years of exclusives being the cost of what was in the set, the the $10 mark down on the Rain Maters. At least Reflector and the Micros are reasonably priced.

    It's up to the retailer what they price the set at. Last year's Amazon exclusives ranged from retail price (Nemesis Prime at $50) to ~$5 above (the Prime Wars Trilogy Deluxes, a $15 Deluxe and a ~$5 Prime Master for $25), while last year's Target exclusives ranged from $10 below retail (the cassette pack at $30) to retail (Soundwave at $50). Given that history, it makes sense that the Amazon exclusives are a smidge above retail price, while the Target exclusives (the Rainmakers and Micromaster pack) are $10 below retail for what's included.

    Btw, I personally think the $10 markup on the Reflector set is a bit much for the extra parts, especially considering how small/simple that mold is to begin with (for a Deluxe).

    Skywarp\'s Black Light code is TELEPORT, just in case anyone was wondering.

    For those of you only interested in Skywarp, would you be willing to sell Schrute individually? That is the only part of the set I really want.

    Why not just buy an aimless and caliburst and limb swap them? It’s effectively the same thing

    Fair enough. I broke down and pre-ordered the set anyway.

    I cancelled my pre-order for this earlier this week since I had found 3 five week old kittens on Tuesday and was worried how much the rescue was going to cost me. I re-evaluated the situation this morning and re-ordered the set, but I have to wait until Sunday for it to get delivered now. The kittens are in quarantine in the bathroom until the flea medicine has had time to work.

    I guess to pass the time you can call one of them Skywarp and the other two Starscream and Thundercracker.
