This comment amused me

Toysrus Australia charge as much as they can. I doubt the $100 comes from hasbro. Tru is the absolute worst place to buy anything and is mainly for suckers ie 40+ upper middle class women buying gifts for kids with no knowledge or like of toys. Tru australia have been known to price deluxe figures from the same wave at 100% mark up if it is popular. Tru australia are scalpers, no need to worry about scalpers buying them.

I have seen the above with my own eyes before anyone says that is BS.
It's not BS. There are a lot of other factors involved before they ring a sale through their registers.
TrU aren't making $90 a pop on Prowl & that goes for any of their recent MP releases, Metroplex, Bruticus v Grimlock. If you saw what TrU paid for these figures & then compare them to the retail amount being charged, you may be surprised.
