That's about my experience too, yes. Paid a little extry for the set when it was first out and already scarce, and then was mystified at the price continuing to climb through and after the pandemic. And then Lancer showed up and oh, okay, they're doing this.

I'm always glad for a reissue of a hard-to-get thing, even when it's got nothing to do with me. Legacy's bonus wave of package refreshes was a big kindness for those of us who have no access to Botswana. The Phantomstrike set and this, and soon Runabout (I think?), have been and will be big sighs of relief for some. Scalpers can suck it, and those who wanted these for a reasonable price and amount of effort can be happy.
Now, someone has got to do reprints of IDW's "Transformers: Animated- The Complete Allspark Almanac" and "Art of Transformers: Prime" artbooks.

I didn't get those when they came out, only to get them years later for autograph collections, for more than the price of a Greenlight (pre-reissue), and I know new fans are discovering those tv series and I do not want them to pay the price(s) I did!

So, PrimeVsPrime on Youtube has a video up for the Unicron Soldier. Which Hasbro hasn't actually revealed yet.

Befitting of a copy that "fell off the truck", it looks like it's missing a few parts, but overall......eh? Doesn't look awful, but doesn't look "$60 remold" good to me either.

I guess this is for anyone who didn't like Cybertron Unicron having a big honking cannon sticking out front of his robot mode.

Not my preference, but I'm glad it's going to be out there for the Marvel Comics fans who haven't had a lot other than basic recolors!

And now back to my regularly scheduled griping about Swindle preorders:

"-revealed it who knows how long ago, but still don't even know the trailer color and no word as to when-"

Eh, it's not really colored much like those guys, anyway.

Yeah of all the bits they chose to homage from the comics acolyte the big blue chest square would've been the LAST thing I'd pick. Ah well, easy pass, wallet says thanks.

I'd be more down with him if there was less Fallen visible. Maybe some retooled legs and a better way to form the turret (the gray arms stick out incredibly bad) and maybe some more spikes, especially in vehicle mode. I don't mind having a Unicron minion on my shelf but I'm not sure about this one.

I should dig out that Cybertron deluxe next time I get a chance.
