I agree with this assessment. If Prowl is packaged as a standalone at 59.99, it would be pretty sad to know that TRU MP Rodimus was the same price at retail. Hopefully Hasbro/TRU decided to drop the Sideswipe single in favor of a Sideswipe & Prowl 2-pack.
I would have to disagree w/ both assessments. TRU has been no stranger to price inflation for its exclusives. Wasn't MP Acid Storm more expensive than MP Thundercracker, despite being released a mere 1 year apart?
Plus, I have yet to see any of TRU's MPs warm the shelves - they're gone quite quickly. TRU has every incentive to jack up prices.
Grimlock & Rodimus shelf warmed for a huge amount of time in the Northeast. Thundercracker did too, and now Acid Storm has been on the shelves for what, 5 months?
Only the underproduced MP-10 & Soundwave figures sold out super quickly... and while I wouldn't be surprised if Prowl were a full $60, it sure would be a sad thing.
