No tags, but the clerk said it was $219.99.
Over here, we got the Platinum Soundwave (220$) Optimus (200$) and Insecticons (110$). Those things are priced so high, even the scalpers don't want them and the things are shelfwarming.
These things just came out a little over a month ago, I dont think its fair to call them shelfwarming. By that principle, the entire TF section would be out of date except for the RID Optimus and Drift.
Usually, as far as MPs and Platinums are concerned, they used to not last a month in store. When MP Optimus (MP-10), MP Soundwave, and the latest MP Grimlock re-issue came out, ALL AT 100/125$CAN, they got cleaned out extremely fast. By collectors, and many scalpers, due to all of them popping up on Ebay really fast and at double or triple the price.
The latest collector items may not
really shelfwarm, but you gotta admit that selling them for DOUBLE the price of similar item used to go for, like only last year, it put some serious breaks on the sale speed.
