    Toys R Us is dead, but its price hikes live on...

    Congratulations, Hasbro. You've made collecting 3rd party MPs more affordable and appealing now.

    Big Bad's website entry does say the price may decrease in the future, though. There is that...

    No need to panic. There's plenty of time to save if you really want it. I haven't bought any BW MP's but hope to. The price isn't a shocker.

    There was no reason to believe that given Dinobot's price.

    Most rational people realize that. I don't think there was never any indication that he wouldn't be expensive especially when you saw his paint job and the light/sounds electronics.

    We've officially arrived ladies and gentlemen. A non-3P, non-one-ff official transforming Transformer now costs more than a Playstation.

    Happy 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars Transfans! You get to pay $329 for a modernized masterpiece version of a $20 Ultra-class toy.

    I eagerly look forward to Masterpiece Armada Superbase Optimus Prime breaching the $500 barrier in a few years.

    I can't speak for everyone, but that's definitely never been a major draw for me. Nor has it been the case lately, since like Inferno. I'll go for, what I think, is the "best representation" of that character, regardless of which one is priced more.

    If I smoke, TAKARA would have got me quit smoking.

    Don't you remember? Anything that goes wrong is Hasbro's fault, even if they're not involved.

    Nope.
    Straight up, I have personal limits on what I'll spend on toys, and over $300 dollars crosses it.

    Gbm out.

    Megs could start that trend IMO. Especially with that steep price. Look at all those MP-36 KOs to choose from. If the demand is out there people will bite. But wasnt cheetor and primal under $100? I can understand why they wouldnt KO it. BW is a smaller crowd. They probably figured most collectors already dropped the $100. But $315 might very well be the difference maker.
