Movie toy price points in America (gives us a rough idea for here)

[griffin]

The Target price points have been found for some of the TF4 movie toy classes, which you can probably do the standard doubling for our AU$ retail prices.

Most of the class descriptions can be worked out, and it looks like Hasbro are wanting to contaminate everything with Movie toys, with Generations and ConstructBots listed as having Movie characters. I get the impression that the "Generations" branding is going to be used for the main line of converting/non-gimmick Movie toys this time... as maybe Hasbro thought a separate "movie" packaging/series would not be supported by retailers enough.
(at least during the past Movies, the Classics/Generations lines were not touched by Movie toys... focussing on homages of past toylines instead)
Everything below Generations looks to be gimmick lines.

On the flip side, retailers here have ignored Generations for the line with the media tie-in (TF Prime/Beast Hunters). Toys for a big budget movie are more likely to be bought by the retailers I think, and if the stores are buying Generations it might mean future "classics" waves/series may have more of a chance of turning up here.

Another price listing has shown up for American fans, which might be Kmart or ToysRUs, as some are different to the Target prices above... and Walmart are like our BigW with their odd cents on prices.

on the flip side of that since retailers here ignore the generations line, they may skip over the AOE generations stuff entirely to just go with all the other AOE merch (sparkers, power battlers, etc) that would be really upsetting and a really dumb move, but since it is the "GENERATIONS" line they may continue to avoid it.

so looking at those price lists, for the generations stuff we could be looking at things being raised a few dollars more, well I guess that's not SO bad... I'm sure we'd all rather prices closer to America but we all know that will never happen (excluding those few DOTM exclusive deluxes released here for $14 during it's run)
as for the other products I'm not really sure what most of them are so I can't comment, but at least most of them seem to be reasonable prices (assuming the items themselves live up to those prices
