You wanna know what REAL bullshit is? Botcon exclusives!!! If the fandom doesn't mind paying $300.00 for a Botcon Thundercracker, a figure that's only worth $9.99, then this won't phase them in the least.

I didn't pay $300 for one figure. I paid for six. Plus getting to see friends I made the year before, plus attending the panels, plus the ridiculous good time I had both years straight. Then, there's meeting Cullen, joking with the Hasbro folks, haggling and making jokes with vendors in the dealer room. You really open a heated debate by bringing in the Botcon argument. Especially where it doesn't have any bearing on this subject.

I didn't say the convention is bullshit, I said the exclusives are complete bullshit! Idiots are paying $200 - $300 for Thundercracker alone on Ebay. If the fans have no problem paying that much for 1 deluxe figure then a 10% price increase won't phase them at all.

My Beast Wars deluxe figures, off a TRU shelf $9.99.
My Movie Deluxes off that same shelf $9.99.
Hell, I even remeber paying close to that for KickBack WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY back in the day!
Price hikes are bound to happen eventualy, but we haven't had it so bad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about it, and it is yet another reason to avoid the Animated line, but these things happen.

TFs will just get a little smaller.
Prices will remain consistant.
