I wouldn't get your shorts in a bunch just yet. This is ONE online retailer. Any Wal-Mart or Target I've checked recently has them for $9.99 or less.

Furthermore, using your slur to insult Americans in general just because you are taxed out the rear in Europe and pay more for toys is pretty low.
Definition of Muricans - An impolite way of saying "American" (or a polite way of saying "Americunt") while wanting to project a sense to dislike towards that country

Not really, you're just being extra-sensitive about it.
American fans caring or not caring about what you pay doesn't affect or change your prices and never will. Those of us that are sympathetic will be and often state our sympathies, but it doesn't help us be sympathetic when you RoW members are in every thread complaining, griping, and jumping down our throats about us kvetching over our own prices here.
We have every right to complain about what we pay, just as you have every right to complain that your prices are even higher, but if you want Americans to care, stop acting like we're spoiled for doing exactly what you're doing just because we pay less. We don't control your prices(much less our own) and we can't change any of it.
We can only really complain about what WE experience, anything else is disingenuous. Those that don't care what you pay do so because it's not something they need to worry about. We all have enough in our lives to worry about without adding "Man, this price sucks, I wonder how much more it sucks for so-and-so because they're somewhere else".
I mean, we can talk unfair to other countries in hobbies, like Games Workshop banning intercontinental sales of their products for Australian so that their forced to pay 3x as much as RoW and not given the chance to import from the US or UK for the cheaper price.

WFC was the beginning of the Aligned Continuity. The reason the Aligned games, cartoons, comics, etc. all have aesthetics from each other is because Hasbro doesn't give two cents about aesthetic consistency like we fans do. It's more of a fan concern than a company one.Wolfman Jake wrote:For that matter, I would really like to know if the new cartoon, although taking things in a much different direction in terms of tone as compared to Prime, will at least retain the same aesthetic. I was under the impression at first that Prime was the beginning of this new "modern/aligned" continuity for the brand. I expected that I would be building a brand new universe of related figures, but if I can't reasonably display the new cartoon line with Prime, I'll sell off my Prime FE/RiD/BH(PR) collection and be done with it, just like I sold off my movie figures after the let down that was the DotM toyline.
