    Man, I’m so glad that this was branched off from the original Tempo thread so that people don’t even bother to skim this even shorter thread.

    In any case…

    I think it's because the EX Tempo was only promised to PSX. Other retailers are not confirmed to receive this, but they may.

    I've got my EX preordered at ShowZ and if it turns out they can't get it, I'll be happy with the regular version (just gotta use my points).

    Ended up caving and ordering it! The chromed parts just makes him stand out and match Jaguar with his chromed missiles. Just have to pray it doesn't eventually flake off.

    They don't scam people but you might end up without a figure.

    I had this exact scenario happen to me by POing MT Acid Swarm through Baba. Baba never got any stock.

    Wasn't Ravage a similar price?

    Anyways, I got my PO in so not gunna complain too hard :p 

    I kinda agree though - this is expensive for what it is. Maybe a worse cost/value than Fans Toys for once lol.

    I think $65 is more the norm for the tapes? There's some exclusive tax on top but I feel like I overpaid for all of them anyway cause I was late to the game. I've been waiting for these forever!

    Ah. Maybe that's what it was. I was late to the game and paid an unfortunate late tax on the black/chrome Ravage. Managed to get everything else I wanted at retail but I totally feel you there.

    I've been excited about these for a while too. Hopefully more autobot tapes soon. :)

    yes, $60 ish for the tape so $85 with inflation seems right. Life is not easy though.

    I think I paid $64.99 for the crowdfund for the last reissue of the OG Jaguar on PSX like four years ago, and then paid $69.99 for Doccat on ToyDojo two years ago or so.

    That's for the exclusive though, the retail will be less. The other 3 cost me about £50 each so with the recent inflation and all I'd expect to pay £65 for this one. Not happy about that really but it's the world we live in now I guess.

    I said in the Rewind thread that I figured they’d be between $70-100 and closer to the bottom, and that seems to be the case.

    So, I would guess the regular release will be at least $70, but it could even be $75 or $80.

    And while I do think the increase in price of 3P TFs—besides FansToys—can accurately be described as inflation, I do think it’s important to keep in mind in the broader economy that companies that are still seeing soaring profits are committing price gouging in addition to the typical inflation, which is still plenty deleterious all its own.
