Just pre-ordered the Bumblebee capture set. These may not stay open for long...

Snagged one as well, just in case, but I'll probably cancel later. Especially once I find out what the actual retail will be for these sets!

Let me get this straight....Bumblebee is worth $10 and the 3 little human figures are $20? The set is $30?

You could cut through the sarcasm with a butterknife!

Just got one! even if it is $40 shipped, I think of it more as a display piece you can set somewhere in your house. I mean in-box its an awesome diorama!

Are these the official SRP of Hasbro?

Most certainly not. While we all know of course that scalpers don't exist :lol:

, BBTS is a business and thus has a markup on its items. Sometimes it's for a reasonable amount, other times not so much. In this case, odds are they might only cost $19.99, maybe less. As long as these aren't exclusives or something, and no reason to believe that since they sound like normal retail items, you could find them cheaper whenever they come out.

I thought so. Hasbro usually lowers the price of bundles. The bundled price being lower than the total of individual prices.
