    I see, at first I was confused but now i get you Christalcase, you smart fella!

    Price of toy is $30, so if I buy I pay 70% more than cost (C) of toy.

    Thus,

    Cost of Toy (C) + 70% Cost of Toy (C) = $30
    C + 0.7C = 30
    1.7C = 30
    C = 17.41

    But in US costs, it'd be $6.

    So we pay about 5x the amount then for a Deluxe figure?...


    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    So if every drop of paint is accounted for in hasbro financing a toy... would we then say that you get more "bang for your buck" if you bought a toy to discover blotches of paint where they shouldnt( e.g a spot on the face, a drop of wrong paint on the hood)

    Wow... if these manufacturing cost to profit ratios are true... how much more than the manufacturing cost are we paying when buying TRU Ghost Starscream?

    Hopefully none, as I hope that no one has bought them at that price!

    Considering how you could now easily import one for probably half the price with EMS postage to get it in 4/5 days.
