If these are the prices I will buy Grandus and nothing else. Your move, Hasbro.

Yeesh, that is an epic jump for Voyagers. I don't mind the Deluxe price jump quite so much but yeah, gonna have to be far more selective about what I'm picking up in those other ranges.
To be fair though, there isn't much left that I feel I need to have. I keep buying marginally-to-somewhat better versions of characters that I've already got many times over (in some form or fashion). I'll still be there for the crazy one-offs and "didn't see that one coming" odds and ends. But by and large, I've been in kind of a "buy what I likes" mode for the last few years, and it's a mode I'm comfortable with. Well, that one and Depeche

What these prices mean I think is I stop buying "A Bit Better" versions of guys I have and probably get only "G1 guys who havn't had Generations figures".
ZacWilliam, there will be some exceptions to that mandate I'm sure but probably a lot fewer than in the past.

This is actually one of the reasons I told my sister that I'm going to start letting my nephew 'shop' at my house more (they live next door, and I told people years ago who said "you'll have to be careful that the new baby doesn't get into your collectibles!" that if they didn't think a toy robot collection and a little boy WEREN'T going to collide at an intersection, they were delusional and didn't know what toys were for). He's gotten older and more careful with things, and besides, my logic is that it is MUCH less outlay to let him borrow stuff I already have which in many cases is nearly the same as what they will come out with, often with better play features and sturdier to boot. Besides, at those prices there's no place left for the aftermarket costs to go up in a re-re-remake flooded environment. If he wants to play with my Voyager seekers, TR Triple Changers, or Cybertron Vector Prime, that's anywhere from thirty to over eighty bucks SAVED at a shot (assuming just Skywarp and Thundercracker as he already as a King Starscream).
Curious if the reason they haven't fixed the paint on the Mrs. Potato Head statue outside of their RI HQ is due to penny pinching.
Feel sorry for that toy store; being essentially a secondary archive for Hasbro must have been rad.
