They've always been transparent, right? :O

Yes. Crowbar is the only wave 1 deluxe to have painted windows.

So, like an old Basic/Scout class figure.william-james88 wrote:Here are some pics of him in robot mode where he is at least between legends and deluxe class (rather than just being as tall as a legends figure).

Then don't call him a deluxe and charge that same amount.

They did that before with RiD 2001 Wedge. It's basically a repeat of... logistics issues shall we say. Figures with variable scale that weren't really designed for set price points have to fit in them anyway.
Nice argument against toys having to adhere to media scale tho.

So this isn't the first time it's happened then?

Lugnut on the right is a Voyager while Lockdown on the left is a Deluxe, as are the two in front.

Thats not relevant and it was never what was being discussed.
I do not mind a toy being smaller to fit a scale. What I mind is pricing. This toy clearly has less going on than the other deluxes in the line so charging as much sucks. They could have given him some extra stuff if they wanted to sell it at that price (maybe some mini figures of Sam and Megan Fox?). Like what they did with Sqweaks. That is a small deluxe, but the whole package comes with enough stuff that I didnt feel like I was cheated.

They would sell at least as much as a dread. And we could also get the bikes in that size class.
