Note I didn't specific a class, I stated "comparative prices", and deluxes with taxes are close to 40$ and more nowadays depending where you get them, and may required shipping costs added, so it's a massive range, and for any hard to find figure, prices are at scalper's levels extremely fast now...
You look up some KOs and 4th parties and get a huge selection that can surprise you.. it's no longer the shampoo bottle crap from once upon a time.
Take the Titan sized Jinbao combiners (Devastator/Predaking/Bruticus) that are easily less than half the Hasbro versions in price but the quality is very much higher. For what I paid for my Constructicons, each one would come to around 20$ (and that's with shipping) for a Voyager/leader figure that exceeds any of the WFC figures easily.
You can get original molds/figures that are also
Some examples:

A bit higher that ranges in the Voyager/leader range, you can look up Planet X figures that are "official" 3rd party (for examples):

And you can look up SXS for a few figures that they produced that are amazing at voyager/leader prices if you can find them. APC is a fairly newcomer that are coming out with some pretty well regarded figures at affordable prices compared to the crazy high prices for many other 3rd parties.
And as I stated, you also have to shop around and see the bargains/sales:

But bear in mind that shipping is a major factor for everything now too.... so that will have an impact... but again, that even Hasbro can end up being under the same scenarios.
