Who's going to buy them all. The general public will be having cheaper TF5 and Bumblebee movie toys clogging the shelves for the next 12-18 months while these premium figures are being released, so they won't be the target market... and discerning collectors already have their wallets drained with Generations, Masterpiece and premium JP Movie toys (not to mention 3P products).
I just don't see these doing well at all, especially if they end up being TRU exclusives, who will make them even more expensive than they need to be.
