"Mean Suggested Retail Price". It's basically a price stores use, using Hasbro's standards. They're free to deviate, but not by too much.

I'll remind everyone tho, that they're only individually packaged in Japan. Hasbro is investigating a possible release in the US in the form of a giftset.

ah. so, in your opinion, what do you think the RRP for this set should and will be?

That's a good question. Each Legends figure is $4.99 give or take, and EZ Devastator has 7 components, so the set should be no more than $35. It'll be cheaper than that definitely because of "buying in bulk" and saving on packaging materials. And Hasbro tends to omit paint apps compared to Takara...

In short, my prediction is between $25 and $30, putting it optimistically.

Great. But, I have to ask, why do Hasbro think making this badass badboy into an exclusive would be of any good?

"MSRP" is MANUFACTURER'S Suggested Retail Price, not "Mean" Suggested Retail Price. It's a common term in retail. Most consumer goods have a "MSRP".

What I meant is that there's no reason to overpay on eBay for a toy that I'll be able to get at normal price later.
