I have some catalogues as well from that era, plus some archived sightings, which I will go through after I've done up the toy lists and re-edit those sorts of minor details.
Cool. When you do, the prices do currently seem to be inflated. Is it excluding any sort of sale prices? Even if you look at your own fantastic resource here, it says that Beast Machines prices were:

Beast Machines Retail Prices in Australia.
Supreme - $99.00-$109.00
Ultra - $37.28-$59.99
Mega - $15-$44.99
Deployer - $8.99-$13.51
Deluxe - $9.95-$32.49
Beast Rider - $13.51-$24.74
Basic - $5.47-$16.99

And yet in the new Beast Machines guide it says:

(SPM) Supreme - $99-$109
(SUP) Super - $80-100
(U) Ultra - $50-60
(M) Mega - $40-45
(D) Deluxe - $25-33
(BR) Beast Rider - $20-24
(DEP) Deployer - $10-13
(B) Basic - $15-17

And the Beast Wars prices are:

(SUP) Super - $80-100
(U) Ultra - $55-60
(M) Mega - $40-45
(D) Deluxe - $25-33
(B) Basic - $15-17

which is the same as you have for Beast Machines prices (and even more expensive for Ultras.) 1997 Beast Wars prices were definitely cheaper than this.
