You're right, 50$ for an old voyager sized toy is CRAZY, hasbro would never....
Except wasn't it originally supposed to come with trailer, trailer was dropped but price never changed? Its an exception, not a rule.
I thought the trailer was dropped so that they could sell it at $50. I have never heard of it originally coming with a trailer.
And I never said it was a rule. I just said we can't rule anything out since there's a precedent for everything now.
This was my understanding as well, especially with the three big chunks of die cast metal on the figure. Imagine what the price would have been with the trailer. $70? $80?

Don't forget roller and his gaspump. 100.
Honestly, I'm not convinced that these are Transmetals.
At first it kinda made sense since the TM toys are pretty good, hold up for the most part (minus some detailing and proportions), but the fact that these are listed as "Vintage" makes me think that they're straight up reissues of the original toys.
It kinda makes sense, BW's 25th anniversary, so they get a comic, they get modern updates that are kinda show accurate and incorporate MP engeneering and to top it off they get reissues of theor original toys.
Remember the 10th anniversary?
That was celebrated with reissues that got updated decoes, some remolded parts as well as modern updates of Primal and Megs.
This is basically that, just keeping both aspects "pure".
One the one hand fresh modern takes, and on the other accurate reissues.
And if they're really awesome, MP Rampage.
