Knowing them, probably because that shade of grey is cheaper than black paint

While that does make sense, the price alone doesn't explain it, given that BBTS upped the price on the May Mayhem exclusives from the MSRP of $17.william-james88 wrote:Autobot N wrote:EE exclusive, my rear end.
Thats different, that isnt the US local release of the figure, thats the asian release . Its the same toys and box of course, but its imported by BBTS from Hong Kong, hence why it costs 10$ more.
Exclusive just means that only one distributor is getting local stock directly. And thats what the case is here. Only EE is getting stuff directly from hasbro USA and thus doesnt have to import and pass the costs onto americans.
BBTS Is an importer, it will always have items that are "exclusive" but at an extra cost.

They wanted to make it more toy accurate instead of toon accurate.

And yet they still haven't done his colors right yet. Hopefully the 4th "special" edition is the charm!

That's...not a bad price. Based on inflation and time if honestly say that's an old price as long as he's not glowing green and translucent and suppose to invoke him about to explode
