TRU USA MP Prowl prices are insanely high, their $70

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!

Post by Tigermegatron »

Most of the time these SDCC MP TRU USA prices are what TRU USA stores/site sell them for. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-new ... 14-180729/

If I knew this 1-2 years ago. I would have bought the Takara MP TF Voyagers cars/bots from USA based import sites for $64, Paid no tax & maybe not paid shipping fees depending on the site.

While I might bite & buy the Hasbro USA TRU version. Because it's only $6 more & weeks away from store/site release. There is just no way i'm waiting another 1-2 years for the Hasbro USA TRU MP versions of Sideswipe, Wheeljack & Bumblebee. Why wait when there basically the same price, With Hasbro charging a bit more.

Glad I have no interest in Hasbro TRU USA MP Sunstorm. Might be interested in recolored & retooled cone head MP Seekers, If they ever dcecide to make them.

Yeah, this is insanity, they have no justification to ask $70 for this figure whatsoever, not when Takara's Bluestreak was going for $60 at Botcon last month - if importers can bring it in cheaper than Hasbro's product, why bother with Hasbro? This isn't a $70 product, it weighs next to nothing, it's the size of an Alternators figure, how the fuck do they get 350% inflation on that?!? They got greedy with that packaging, thinking it'd justify any price they demand. They may as well call this an ebay exclusive, priced not to open but to sell to suckers.

I am not likely to bother getting this figure, I don't even like Prowl that much. Could have got him through Anime Export for $45 back in the day.
