Re: Is new pricing keeping you away?
Each time there's been a noticeable price jump, I usually just cut down what I buy by about 1/4 or 1/5 (to maintain my strict monthly budget).
I didn't mind the Seige/ERise price jump at the time because it came with a perceivable increase in the quality and likeness of the TFs.
However, yeah the subsequent price increases since then are now really putting a halt to any impulse buys, and for sure any higher-end TF (VOY or Leader or Titan) that isn't 95% perfect to my idealized version of that character.
A good example is Blitzwing at $80+ is making me think hard: he has a great robot mode, but his two other modes are trash IMO, so I may just wait until the price drops more steeply to maybe $55 or $60. If I miss out on him, oh well... just give it a few years and Hasbro will either release a better version of him, or re-release the same toy again in some "archive" line.
To sum: if Hasbro doesn't nail the character almost perfectly at these prices, it's a pass.
