That's two size classes here now. (the first being the Legions at ToysRUs)
Anyone else seen these yet, or have a price?

The prices are on the official site listings

If there are prices on the Hasbro site they are just Recommended (retail prices). I need the actual retail prices from the stores for our reference guides and news postings, as it can vary by $5-10 between the store chains. (Toyworld, Myer & TRU often have Deluxes for $30 while BigW and Kmart have them for about $25)

$25? HA! Mate those days are gone now, every store has Deluxes at $30, it's that Kmart has them at $29 while Big W has them at $28. Sure it's sad but it makes online shopping easier ;)

Hands prime is right. These prices are probably almost spot on

Okay, bad example as I don't buy much domestically so I still have my mind still remembering 2013 prices.
This topic shows the point I was trying to make, in that the stores charge such a large range, the "official" prices are only a very rough guide that should not be expected in stores. Hence the need for *actual* retail prices in sightings... otherwise no one knows what the new toys are really priced at here for price-matching or saving time by going to the cheapest option first.

Fair point yet if you compare the aoe site listing to the store prices there is at most $1 difference

Found the Combiner wars 'scout' size figures today at south land toyworld $16 each. Pic on my twitter @kal_elofkrypton. Would upload here but I'm in my phone :p

That's not an awful price, but I probably won't go out of my way to find a Toyworld here in the west.

Also spotted all four of them at Toyworld Docklands for the same price, which is a good price even those these guys are smaller than scouts and bigger than the old legends/new legions.

They also had the RID one step changers (Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Strongarm and Underbite) for $21.99, $2 more than the AOE ones they had on shelf.
