This was dicey at 90 dollars but at 100 it's rank GARBAGE. Too many cut corners on these combiners compared to combiner wars, and that's saying something.
EDIT: Did some math, it seems they're pricing shit to match the ebay listings of complete combiner wars superion that show up when you search it on there, but there's cheaper listings of those and they have less fucked proportions IMO save for the arms being made of leg in the middle.

I might have to cut back on collecting for a while.

We'll need to wait and see how much prices go up. It'll probably be a couple of dollars for smaller size classes, and maybe no increases for leaders and above. The crossed out numbers are Gamestop's new prices for unreleased deluxes and voyagers.

Can't wait to see what prices will be like here. A deluxe was already $25.34 to 31.69USD before taxes and that's IF you managed to find anything. Hopefully the government makes some deals with other countries while the Clown is in office.

I'm still holding out hope for an eventual commander class Lugnut.

At this point commander class has become "voyager with trailer that might turn into a skeleton for combiner lmbs" class and stuff that would be commander class instead is locked behind haslab bundles like deathsaurus was. Yes I am still mad about that.

The original plan for Deathsaurus was that he would be a retool of 86 Grimlock, with the Breastforce being core class figures. If commander class is going to be where combiner torsos get released, I wish we could get more than 2 a year.

I wish they weren't 100 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A HOLLOW LIMB SKELETON AND A VOYAGER FIGURE. Being someone who can't afford to spend 100 upward dollars frequently on action figures things people actually wanted being locked behind timegated 200-300 dollar month long pre order windows a year or 2 in advance the last several years and the limb skeleton thing being an excuse to bump a figures cost to 90 dollars bugs the shit out of me because I just cannot see the value in comparison to stuff from years ago. it's like they've extended the sub service model shit to everything after cancelling that project pricing wise, but instead of paying money to access a shop of exclusive upmarked exclusives you're just paying the higher price for everything sans the shop access, though that's apparently slightly come back with the hasbro pulse 50 dollar free shipping early access stuff.

I'm also not holding my breath on any shows. RID2015 had it's nice moments imo but that was the beginning of the end for TF shows in my view. Kinda hope the can that like the movies too. The milk/cope that would flow would be funny. To clarify; not internet series.

I can't believe it's now been 10 fucking years since the start of "every non gimmick show tie in toy is locked to deluxe class ball joint full price figure with cheap plastic like the even cheaper gimmick toys". Truly a fucking plague but at least there were weird exceptions with some of the gimmick ones the last few years like cyberverse gnaw where he retained legends class articulation at deluxe class sized gimmick toy. That one gets weirder too because it's based on the legends class g1 toy based gnaw and not the cyberverse sharkticon.

In my experience, Target is the big box retailer that usually does the best when it comes to keeping an up-to-date inventory. Sometimes a Walmart will surprise you, but those are few and far between.

Go to place here is Toy's R'Us. Target couldn't cut it here. Walmart was fine for awhile, after all I managed to get a few Snarls and Swoops for repaints, but now they don't bring in anything in stock in the boys section except for Lego. Still decent to get collector packs of MtG sets.

Toy's R'Us is also good for other action figures like Star Wars and GI Joe as well as some Marvel stuff, but you're better off going to a comic book shop for that. There's also 4th Moon if you're looking for older stuff, Sparetime Bandai Gashapon if you want a taste of Japanese gatcha stuff, Anime City for your anime model kits, There used to be a really nice shop close to the Much Music station in the basement of this one building that was so packed with toys that you could barely walk through the place. Wish they were still around even the owners were assholes. Navito is also decent for some Japanese imports if you're into that. Pretty sure that's the same store I picked up MP 01 and MP 05 back in the day just with a different name. They were also stuffed with boxes back than.
