It's definitely going to get worse as far as retails go for HasTak. Even if you look at the Titan figures. Omega, the core of the figure, is basic, much like Trypticon, Metroplex and retooled Fort Max are. For what we pay for these giant figures, they are pretty bare bones in the transformation department, but they cost over 200.00 ea. It's a lot for basic engineering. Honestly, I hate the idea of Scorponok possibly being a retool of Omega. I really hope not.

The refraktor box set was ten dollars more. The individual deluxe toys are $30 each. Buying three single-packed Refraktors costs ninety before tax.
Both are overpriced, but it is not a forty dollar difference between 3x identical toys vs 3x differently painted toys + extra stuffs.
NOW. I fully agree with you that the chug shit is wildly overpriced right now. thirty dollars for any of those deluxes is a laff. they are not ten dollars better, ten dollars painted better, any of that shit, compared to the Prime Wars trilogy toys. They have a different aesthetic but it's better or worse depending on aspect or personal taste. Studio Series has a ton more detail and little extras so they are more justified, but I still have a tough time with thirty bucks on a deluxe.
And Unicron ... well.
