At least these ones are actually based on something from the show, instead of being toy-only deals like the black Bumblebee redeco and the G1-esque Grimlock redeco.Shuttershock wrote:All these damn repaints and still only ONE Warrior class Decepticon.![]()

His transformation is unique to him in the One-Step and 3-Step department, however it's not unique overall:

Damn ridiculous why are prices increasing yet payment isn't?
I'm poor enough as it is
That is INSANE! That's more than what they cost in Quebec with tax. I really fear your prices coming our way.

Replace "Hasbro" with "Toy Stores", and you're dead on. It's the stores themselves that determine prices depending on competition (Toys "R" Us is notorious for their high prices), why do you think we have "MSRP", or Mean (meaning "average"), Suggested, Retail Price? Some stores have higher, some lower.
Hasbro is the main supplier of stock, thus earns its money (and determines overall sales reports) from the stores ordering, while the stores earn their money from us buying that stock.

You're the only person I've ever heard call it that. It's the manufacturer suggested retail price. Mean doesn't make sense since there are far more stores selling at or above MSRP than below it and the MSRP would be changing constantly. It's the price that the manufacturer believes a retailer can sell at to still turn a good profit, that's what makes the greed of TRU all the more infuriating.

I do have to mention that I HIGHLY recommend not buying from Kmart online due to poor customer service, really poor customer service.
