Are the DotM Commander Class figures worth their price??

I was browsing in the mall today and found a lone Dark of the Moon commander class Ironhide figure hanging on his peg.

But i couldnt force him to buy him since he's valued at 1,989.00 ISK which is approximately 16.0909 USD.

Which lead me to believe is a lot compared to other figures, did i make a good choice to let him pass for now or was it a good price for him.

Is the figure in question any good for just being a bigger legends figure??

European prices suck big time, but Commander Class figures are pretty good, some more than others. Here are my picks:

- Sentinel Prime
- Autobot Guzzle
- Powerglide
- Blackout

I'd also get optimus Prime and Megatron with their trailers.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Ouch... them European prices... And I thought CAN10$+taxes for a Cyberverse Commander figure was expansive... They had a boxing day sale at my local Walmart at 5$, but the pegs had only Ironhide and Optimus Prime left. Already having OP, I took Ironhide.

In my humble opinion, the ones worth full price (even the European rape-prices) are Decepticon Hatchet and Blackout. Both figures are perfect in both modes and they both have a very satisfying and fun transformation. You CANNOT pass them up. I heard that Guzzle is awesome too, but I missed him so I cannot tell.

As for the other ones, wait for a sale. Prime, Megs, and Ironhide supposed to not be rare. They are nice, but not worth the full pricetag. Maybe you can make an exception for Powerglide because he's less common.

Ironhide's arms constantly pop off so I really wouldn't recommend him. Personally, I like Hatchet and Megatron most. Optimus, Sentinel, Powerglide, and Blackout (Targetmaster Scorponok is one of the greatest accessories ever) are also very nice, too, though Sentinel gets bonus points for this:

As -Kanrabat- said, Megs, Optimus, and the other 1st Wavers shelfwarm like crazy, and will probably go on sale/clearance sooner or later.

Looks like Megatron turned the tables and made sentinel into his personal b***

I would say that if what you find is the average selling price then go for it.
Not even Kmart sells the Cyberverse Commander figures for $16.00 though, that is about double (with tax included) the normal price for them in the U.S.

I like all of the Commander class figures, But Prime I likes the bestest

I think it all comes down to personal taste.

At $8 here in the US I wasn't all that interested in them. They're half the size and only $2 cheaper than the deluxe's. I did pick them up when they were $3.60 a piece though. They are nice figures, won't say otherwise, but I find the price being so close to that of the deluxe's a major turn off.

Wait wait wait... Are you trying to tell me that 10$ is the real normal price of the deluxes in the USA? All Europe and Australia are starring daggers at you right now.

Unless the USA prices are like Canada's. 15-18$ for a deluxe at regular price, but they are so often on sale at 10$ that it's almost their normal price.

The regular retail price for deluxe in U.S. at Walmart is like $9.98 without tax.
Everywhere else they are about $12, but are on sale most of the time too.
