this may truly be a case of a toy priced higher than the sum of it's parts.
The average "leader" figure for Titans returns (in
Legends) was about $70 (considering 3p retail sites after shipping etc...), the standard "deluxe" were about $35, but always included a Titan Master.
There was only one Leader EX (Greatshot) and goes for about $95. If we guesstimate a "Deluxe EX" would between $40-$50, that comes out to between $170-$190 (for stores like BBTS TF Source etc...) I'm personally hoping it's more conservative, around $160. But Maybe they'll split the difference at $175.
I'm only stating this because there is no direct way (I'm aware of) for fans outside japan to order from
mall is there? And even if there were. $143, after shipping, import taxes etc... would probably be close to $170 anyway.
I would love Hasbro to release this, but considering they never did any of the other EX releases I'm doubtful, unless "Brand Unification" really does mean things can o both ways. Someone should have asked Warden at NYCC. Maybe at ToyFare?
