So... Transformers Reviewers has 40 affiliate and member channels, none of which are in Australia. Thus, I had no contacts in which to reach out to in those territories. If you experience no price increases, then you are lucky. Otherwise, plan for the worst and hope for the best.

 

Don't take the criticism too hard. Most of these fools have never dealt with the business side of the hobby. They'll only recognize price hikes when they see stickers at Walmart.

 

Think about the poor budget, how could we ever get a to scale cartoon accurate Wheelie, without going into titan class territory with the price?!

 

Since when is a Commander price point "Titan class territory?" Wouldn't it be Commander class territory? Y'know, the class he actually is?

 

Ah I see you haven't seen the updates. Wheelie is now gonna be a titan class figure so that he can have individual toe articulation.

 

I mean, its going to be $100 next year, so...... that's pretty dam close to the $150/$160 titans...

 

Wasn't that part of the same rumour as the thing about there being no more Titans? That's been debunked by a few leakers...

 

I mean, Hasbro certainly doesn't seem to want to keep prices the same for the normal 3 classes, so its extremely likely they'll increase commander and claim it's more expensive to get cardboard or some shit.

 

Yeah the $100 Commander rumor was part of that, so I assume it's false. Although it has been said that the SG Jetfire may be more expensive than the original release, so they may be adding more to him.

 

SG Jetfire is likely to be more because all of the SG figures have had a $7 increase from the current price point MSRP due to the included comic.

 

Wasn't SG Jetfire rumored to be more then 100? Like around 110-125 usd?

 

Honestly, all the prices likely will creep up at some point. Titans are fifty-something bucks more than the first Titan was. Whether or not it's warranted is irrelevant to me. Not that I'm rolling in dough or anything but TFs, even at Commander prices, are still worth it to me for the return on that dough.

 

Metroplex was $125, so an extra $35 for titans now. Deluxes since then have doubled.

 

Not sure if a price for him has been rumored or not, but if he comes out to be more than $86.99 we will know what the new commander price will be

Definitely agree

 

Also the prices for Titans are still good in the U.S. compared to other countries. Right now the U.S. price for a titan class converts to $182 Canadian, but Titans cost $282 CAD including tax here in Ontario. I'm considering buying from U.S. sites again because the Canadian dollar has improved lately.
