if they're going to raise the price.. keep the toy the same size, if you're going to shrink the toy, shrink the price too.
plus, i'm pretty sure that toys today are a hell of a lot easier to make than they were way back when.
CrimsonPrime wrote:Wow some of you Americans are bunch of whiny bishes arent you? So the price increase to 15 dollars big whoop. For my country we have to pay 19 frickin dollars per deluxe ever since 5 years ago. You dont see me whining at every single transformers toy forum did you? So STFU and deal with it. You should consider you're lucky cause just the deluxe increased abit. Here's how transformers cost in my country :-
1) Legends - US : 5$ MY : 8$.
2) Commanders - US : 8$ MY : 16$.
3) Deluxes - US : 14~15$ MY : 19$.
4) Voyagers - US : 22$ MY : 39$
5) Leaders - US : 45$ MY : 75$.
So yeah STFU you whiny Americans. I'm doing just fine collecting TFs with the ridiculous price increase here in my country for more than 3 years. Just consider yourself lucky alright cause if I were at your country? I could have increase my TF collection by 2 times the amount.
PS : And to those who ask, no I'm not rich. I'm only a teenager who get like 35$ a month and I live in a normal 2-floor house with my family.

This government. I would rather pay £20 for a deluxe sized deluxe, than £15 for an anaemic midget version of one. I wish Hasbro would stop with the shrinkage.
Megatron Wolf wrote:so why are these $15 when theyre not bigger or more complicated or have more detail than TFPrime figures? How does hasbro justify the price increase for these guys? Im sorry but im not paying $17(including tax) for a deluxe no matter what its from or who it is. Is this what we get for being loyal to hasbro all these years, smaller figures and outrageous prices? Its one thing to make figures smaller but keep the damn price & quality the same. Alot of people arent willing to pay or cant pay $13 for a prime deluxe what makes them think they'll pay $15 for a generations when theres nothing special about them. The last wave of generations werent even $15 they were $13 and they were bigger & of better quality than DOTM, TFPRIME, this wave of generations and they came out when the economy was **** just like it is now. Sorry about the rant but what hasbros doing is uncalled for and just not fair to consumers especially those who are falling on hard times.

I have been feeling the same way a bit myself. I bundled FOC Optimus, and Jazz with my Breakdown from BBTS. I didn't add Shockwave just because I am going to try to find him at retail. I figure it will work out, but at least it's just one figure to look for instead of 3.
I also saved myself the pain of finding all 5 figures for FOC Bruticus and just preordered mine, as well as the Amazon set too.
At a certain point the time and gas saved not hunting all over the place makes up for the price difference in most cases.

I'm seriously considering doing the same. I'm sick of seeing yellow everywhere store i go into.

The first target only had Op and Jazz and the 2nd I just asked for two Shockwaves if they had them and the guy brought them out! Yay! I'm sure they probably had more Op and Jazz at the last Target I was at, didn't ask, one the guys said they aren't supposed to be out on the shelf for 2 more weeks, hence the clearance, glad I won't have too look for these guys now, Shockwave is awesome but smaller and they were 14.99 at my Targets too, but to me they were worth it, especially having a classics Shockwave!!!
man you are really making me grind my teeth. i need 2 shockwaves dammit! can you take some size comparison pics for me by any chance with some classics toys?
