The price jumps, compared with TRU's recent less-good sales since US went under (when the last time voyagers were half off? leaders at 40% off?), death of WWS/SSS coupons and WalMart's no sales ever, has REALLY had me scaling back and being more selective on what I purchase
There hasn't been a single goddamned sale/promotion since TRU US went under (for TRU Canada) where you could get a Siege deluxe for under $20 CAD, and I have been watching
But to get back on topic -> I simply haven't bought a Unicron cause can't afford, no horse in the race either way

Correct. We used to see a lot more 25 or 30% off sales for TFs, on the regular.
I don't buy as many TFs as I used to anyway, but the reality is there are several figures I would probably buy for funsies... if the price wasn't what it was. When deluxe and voyagers are STILL above the old price point even on sale, it's just... no thanks. It's too much. So the impulse buy or "on the fence but why not" buy is gone. I probably would have bought Hound, Red Alert, Soundwave if they were 25/35 bucks and then on sale.

If you can afford Unicron in your fun money budget, more power to you. Even if I could, though, I don't like supporting that kind of cost level or precedent. I'd rather buy a Switch.
