Yeah, I thought that was weird. So I scanned other deluxes and they came up as the regular $23.xx. It's only these two exclusives that are priced as such for, I believe, the upcoming toy sale.

Yeah, I know they are in separate cases, but they've been paired up and released together as if they were all in the same case.

As for the price, it is another example of how Hasbro was ripping us off with keeping the regular sizes at the same price as last year...
As each one-off item is being priced based on the current exchange rate, its retail price gets cheaper and cheaper than the same-sized regular items that are still pegged at pricing set years ago when the exchange rate was US$0.50.
If Hasbro ever claims that they aren't taking advantage of the exchange rate, the prices of these one-off exclusive items are proof.

Wonder if they will be in the catalogue. They could be usefull to price match against. Especially if they just say deluxes.

Jetwing Prime

Hi. I'm new to the forums. I saw a whole bunch of DOTM figures at Big W Sunbury today in a special Optimus vehicle mode display:

Jetwing Prime $148 (or $149... not sure)
Wave 2 Voyagers
Wave 1 Leaders
Wave 1 Deluxes ( :( I want a Topspin)
and the usual cyberverse

There was a similar display at BigW Werribee tonight, but I didn't see any Jetwing Primes :(
However there was a big stack of Ark's :)
