They need to bring the price on Primal and Megatron down much more. They were $25 online at walmart.com a few months back. It is odd because not every store ordered these, but the ones that did, had a huge overstock. I dont know what it is about the vintage toys (original or BW), but their price by far exceeds inflation and cost of rise of materials. I know we've been through all the numbers before and projections but it dosen't add up.
Still, for the toys to sell at any decent rate, they basically have to come down to what their price was in 1996, which means someone is losing money, and its not a viable long term strategy, which is why I refrain form getting them . (Not that Hasbro ever intended to re release every OG BW toy, but their character selection since the first wave seems to be completely random) I still see deluxes (mostly Wolfang and Retrax)in the clearance aisle now, but still asking $28!!! That is crazy! $10 was the right price when they originally came out in the 90's, I wouldn't expect to may more than $20 for any BW deluxe TODAY. Plus making a "Basic" the same price as a deluxe is just insulting.
