I don't think I am the only one who feels this way.
I honestly don't understand why every current transformer isn't sold on Hasbro's official site for MSRP. Sure, they have some great stuff at MSRP but it seems that more than half the time I want a new bot it is not sold online for MSRP. This leaves scalpers to nearly double the price.
Currently I am looking for an RiD Warrior Ratchet. It should cost about 15$ or so in the store. It is not available on HasbroToyShop for that much. I the cheapest I have found it online is 29.99 + S/H which is not a fair price imho.
What is worse is HasrboToyShop is a disorganized mess of things no one wants. So unless you luck out and what you want is there its just kinda janky.
I think Hasbro needs to take point from Lego's online store. Lego has all of the latest and most desirable of it's products available in an easy to use layout. Wouldn't it be great if we could order everything off our want lists and consolidate shipping?
Just to prove my point, here is the same exact figure listed twice:
