There's an actual test performed on all toys called a drop test to make sure they either don't break or if they do break they don't leave sharp edges when dropped from a height that a child might drop them from under normal play. Some toys have reportedly failed this test and will never be reissued outside Japan (Fortress Maximus) while Hasbro likes to implement "made to break" into their toys so things like hinges and ball joints just pop off and back on rather than snap. It's not easy making toys for kids, there's a lot of safety concerns that are taken into consideration first.

Yes, because Hasbro decided they should be to fit their arbitrary division of figures into age classes rather than safety reasons. Prior to the Combiner Wars line Generations figures were 5+ and nothing changed parts and safety wise.

Hasbro precised a few years ago that currently (well then) drop tests are only done on figures with flying alt modes.

It's unrelated to difficulty and only about marketability. The cyberverse deluxes are as complex and are 6+

Cyberverse is slightly more simple, even the deluxe.

Well, I only have the Prime....
But they ARE behind in updating articulation. Yes they have ankle tilt, but there are much ball joints due to the "shape" of cyberverse charecters.

I really would not call the use of a ball joint "behind in updated articulation".

And I would argue that Cyberverse deluxe Bumblebee, Megatron, Arcee, and Slug are actually better than their Siege/ER/SS86 releases.

Also something interesting is the fact that no Cyberverse deluxe got a repaint. We had a seeker mold and a datsun mold, but no repaints. i feel like that has to be some sort of record.

You call that "overpriced"?
Are you new to this hobby?

I skipped on a "scout" DOTM Guzzle because it was it's full 10$CAN at Walmart because I was waiting for a sale. Then I never saw it ever again. Counting shipping, I can't get one for below LEADER price now.

Also if you don't count exclusives, normal retail figures that are not that old can sell for double, triple, or even 10 times the price.
Any CW fans who miss a limb bot to complete their combiner and want LEGIT stuff are in for PAIN... Unless like me, they have a local geek store who still sell those CW limbs at retail prices.

Oh, and don't get me started on G1.

Hey, I know about scalpers. It still sucks, no excuse!

And I guess I'm technically new to collecting, but I'll for sure quit in a few years. I'm not one of those that buys figures just because they exist.

"Scalping" is a term only valid for things that just came out or are technically available on store shelves. Worst victims are badly distributed exclusives of desirable characters. But pass a certain timeframe, it just become the secondary market.

I could stop checking the news, and notifications can be turned off. But if I was handed a few 100 dollars right now, I'd buy my last figures and quit.

uh.. nope

Scalping is the term used to describe someone who buys something in low supply and resells it for a higher price to make profit.

https://4chantoy.fandom.com/wiki/Toy_Scalping

I dont give two shits if it is off 4 chan as it is an accurate description. If you buy something with the intent to sell at a higher price you are a scalper dick-bag. I opened ebay before Cosmos became available on pulse and searched for him, got a couple hits then watched pulse again, as soon as it became available and sold out I went back to ebay, lo and behold there suddenly popped up TONS of pre-orders for prices WAY higher than pulse was selling for. scalpers.

Scalping is anyone that buys something at retail hot or not to make a profit off of it period.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Sure. But Scalping is not selling a 3 year old toy, that is no longer being distributed, on eBay at secondary market price. Which is what Rodimus Ukraine was referencing.

I 100% agree with your definition though as it would give further credence that anyone who calls out scalping on Haslab projects would be wrong in doing so. Since the supply if those toys was literally the demand of the time.
