    Any guesses on what the retail price will be Scorponok?

    Toy Arena has $75 which is bananas

    TCP has $40 which looks about right? (But they have Tigatron for $40....)

    Tigatron I'm guessing would be around $23 like Rattrap and Cheetor.

    I don't understand your point you're taking my post and you're missing what I'm asking.

    I'm wasn't looking for opinions on inflation.

    Are you saying saying that Toyarena is pricing the Scorponok at $75 because of inflation and the Chosen Prime isn't pricing for inflation at $40?

    Even so, I'm asking what the retail price would be at like Walmart.

    I’d guess between $30 and $40 based on the Ultra class figures being $50. $35 is probably the sweet spot but I wouldn’t be surprised to see $40.

    That'd be my guess. Minimum $30.

    $40 is a pretty good price at TCP, especially since I don't have to pay tax like I would at (Maybe if they're the distributor) Walmart.

    Tigatron is a tad expensive at TCP though. I'd assume he'd be the same price as Cheetor ($23+ tax for me)

    Scorponok was $15 originally. Anything over $40 is just beyond stupid regardless of production run and inflation. Obviously these aren't selling well at the high prices so patience and you should be able to find him some way for cheap, whether in store or online. I feel sorry for anyone who paid the original prices for Primal and Megatron with less paint apps.

    Only if it involves a bicycle pump, but that’s not what he was talking about. You jumped so hard into defending the increased prices you completely misunderstood his point about the reissues having inconsistent prices between online retailers. Inflation had nothing to do with it.

    That price was for another toy, a JW one if I'm not mistaken.

    But the actual price for him here in Puerto Rico was $51. So considering the usual mark up Walmart PR charges, this guy's MSRP should be closer to $40-45.

    Thanks! I didn't think PR's Walmart marked up that much.

    Yeah it sucks! Dekuxes have been traditionally $24 (back when everywhere else they were 19.99, Voyagers ~$36 and Leaders $60, but last night I saw that SS86 Slag was tagged at $63 and change! :eek: :confused:

    Vintage Scorponok and Tigatron are out at uk retail now.

    Scorponok is £49.99 so $68....given the vintage megaton and primal are on sale for leass than half that elsewhere, I can't see the price holding.
