I predict that by Christmas they'll have that thing knocked down to $49.99 at some stores. I don't think anyone's buying it, and it takes up a lot of valuable shelf space.

Seems like the retailers are getting the hint that Hasbro's jacked up prices are too high. Walmart is still selling all the Deluxes for $10, Voyagers for $19.99, and Leaders for $35. Target is having big clearance sales. Even TRU has been marking down figures. It was pretty stupid of Hasbro to raise the prices across the board as the U.S. was entering the worst recession since the Great Depression, and a $99 Devastator was like the pinnacle of overpriced toys.

The only reason Hasbro had these priced so high, is because of the TF ROTF hipe and now hasbro realizes that TF 3 wont be out until 2011, now the retailers have to retaliate with marking down prices! But still, Devastator priced at $99 is crazy and now sears has him at $69.00 plus shipping is still CrAzY!! Too me, Devy should be priced at $49.99 across the board.
