Re: Is new pricing keeping you away?
As several others have noted here, it's about value. I will pay x amount for z thing, but I have to know for certain the value for what I pay is there.
I personally haven't gotten that feeling from Hasbro's recent lineups, aside from the Legacy Black Zarak; paid $220 at EB games (used the edge discount which knocked like $10 off) and felt like he was well worth it; he's massive, well-built (better built than my Fort Max, that's for sure) and he's super posable. In that same context, I can't justify paying nearly $400 for a MP Starscream - as much as I can appreciate the perfection of his latest iteration.
I guess it comes down to what's important to you, what you are willing to spend extra on and where you draw the line. I think given the inflation of literally everything right now, I'm gonna pull back my TF fixation and simmer down for a bit (before something truly extraordinary catches my eye).
