I could go on and on, I'll just say that 'some' parents will look at that price tag and believe that for that $80 or so, it's going to be an awesome toy. Unfortunately that's not the case, and I really have no idea how they measure toy popularity.... Regardless I'll probably never buy Devastator on my own will, I'll leave it for the kids.
My 5 y/o complained about that annoying toy that makes all the noise! Theres a point at which a toy can make noise to annoy your parents, and then theres the toy that makes noise for no apparent reason and even annoys YOU (you being the kid annoying your parents...).
And yeah you're probably right, my son probably isn't as interested in movie accuracy, but I am! Ok I'm not a kid... But my arguments aren't flawed, they just don't fall into a single category, I said that "for the money it has such limited appeal".
But I agree with you, some parents will just look at the expensive TF toy and buy it because it must be good right? A toy THAT big has got to have something going for it! Like I said, it's all about how much money you can hemorrhage without going broke..
