The hike comes from Hasbro picking a random number out of the air IE MP-44 and the fanbase enabling them by throwing money at them. Which leads Hasbro to grow bolder with prices in the future. While selling people on the party line about more moving parts and detailed designs being the actual pricing factor. Which it isn't. Because retail price never even nears that of manufacture. The difference between the two is just gross profit.

The Encore release of Fort Max wasn't a great seller, those things lingered on sale for a long time, it's never coming back. They sell for high prices on eBay, but that doesn't mean demand is high, it just means $500~ is what the people looking for them are willing to pay now. Either way that would never happen as a HasLab.

This tends to be the flipside of Titan Class. They do seem to shelfwarm or become dramatically reduced in sale bins more often than their smaller counterparts. Some are popular enough to always sell out. Others like Guardian Robot or Cybertron Metroplex, don't.

The Masterpiece line is my primary focus for TF collecting. I make distinctions based on what I am informed on. Not baffling trains of thought outside of the example given. Much like "companies are in the business of making money" is a redundant, somewhat patronising concept to present to adults.

Let's nip that in the bud as well. Takara doesn't dictate price adjustment through exchange rates. Hasbro does. Again, passing the buck and giving them a pass/excuses to keep charging whatever they want.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I feel ya. Actually, my mind told me I just couldn't back this for practical reasons from the beginning. But I might actually be trying to negotiate with my wife for more shelf space. There is one spot in our room where I could build another shelf, and that would make me good for the foreseeable future...But I'm not sure she'll go for it.

I have bills to pay and I recently got a PS5. My mind say I don't have 400$CAN+ for this, but my heart is YOLOing harder and harder.![]()
I once owned the original. It was great looking, but NOT FUN due to how unstable the thing was. So I sold it. The HASLAB have all the bells and whistles plus the presence of the original, is bigger, have more features, and should logically be like the Legacy Armada Optimus Prime in terms of stability and solidity.
I'm really tempted.

Too many raised parts to have autobot symbols on magnus truck sides and primes symbols look dissapointingly small. But some bonus points for prime being titan master compatible in truck mode.
