You should go do that right now Silly. You won't be sorry.SillySpringer wrote:I actually have been tempted to get Cosmos, the original version of the generations mold. And maybe even Swerve.

Its comparison shots like this that make me think what I do about takara. Theres not a person alive that can look me in the eyes with a staight face and tell me a different shade of orange and a few lousy paint apps doubles the production costs. Maybe back when they were doing shiny paint. (united) But this....naw, hell no.

Dude, it's been established already that when bought locally, both Hasbro and Takara ammount to the SAME PRICE, give or take a few bucks.
If you really want "double the cost", go to Europe or Australia to buy your HASBRO TFs.
Now, please put the lid back on tha can of worm.

That has been established? And we are talking about the Manufacturers retail price?

If you're gonna whine about prices (yet again), at least do that in a proper place like this thread:
Toy Economics: Price Differences in different markets and the factors behind them.

It's basically his height in Robot Mode that's to blame for the somewhat inflated price. They pulled the same trick with Movie Advanced Battle Blade Bumblebee, as he too was taller than the ordinary Deluxe.
On the price note, the Japanese prices for TakaraTomy products are roughly consistent with those in Europe for Hasbro products. Try and figure that one out.

"Established" by who ?
Someone from Japan or someone from Australia?
Believe it or not, Rated X's feet have actually touched Japanese soil. I visited the Philippines twice which involved connecting at Tokyo Japan. While I never actually left the airport, I made sure to check out the gift shop which Takara transformers were on sale for $40-45 a pop. They were animated figures mostly. Yes I know airports mark up prices a bit to sting tourists, but compared to the $20 price tag of Hasbro deluxes in the gift shop at Miami international airport, there is a diffference of a lot more than a few bucks. So I call total BS on anyone from euorpe or Australia saying a takara figure costs $15-20 in japan. And all the hobby shops in the phillippines were the same prices too on takara, no vaseline.
