But how in the hell are people ok paying these outlandish prices? $16 for an undersized deluxe is ridiculous plus it screws eveyrone in the long run. Hasbro sees people are paying their stupid prices so they raise them again, they see people still buy em so they raise em again so on & so forth, there really needs to be some big public boycott or something. The madness has to end. Fans of all ages are being screwed over by this and no ones seems to care.

Did you buy a video game for 60$? Cause if you did then you got ripped off.(they lower down to 20$ / 30$ all the dang time meaning there still making an good profit from it)
Why are video games so exspensive compared to movies? Seriously.

And as much time goes into coming up with designs for a toy. And there value goes up unlike games or movies that will be re-released all the time over the psnstore,xbox live, or what people use for pc gaming

When I compare this current crop of toys to the stuff that came out in the early 2000s, and even up to 2008, it's just sad. Toys these days are so cheap that they seem more like the stuff you'd find in a happy meal, or get at a carnival for winning 'whack-a-mole'. And this is the official merchandise.

I hope Hasbro, et. al. realize this simple truth: If you go with the cheapest, crummiest, crappiest manufacturer - you're going to get exactly what you pay for.

What's the point of 'saving money' by cranking out crappy merchandise if no one buys it?

The toys in early 2000's? What armada and energon?

armada toys sucked. They were all stiff and looked dinky. So did energon. But only a few
