    In case anyone missed it while drooling over the official images at that link, they also had the details for the Hasbro release of these two toys, which we won't see until nearly the end of this year.
    It also notes that (with the loss of ToysRUs in America), the Movie Masterpiece toys will be joint exclusives to Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, Diamond (the global comics distributor), and some business called Southern Hobby.
    (the product descriptions also suggest a limited pre-order period, some 7 months before their release... which could mean that they will be "made to order" for their American release, like FunPub did with their Subscription toys - and with Australia looking to miss out on the last two Movie MPs - VW Bumblebee & Ironhide - I'm not sure if we will see these two here either... hopefully we find out before people here are forced pre-order from US sources)

    40.5 grams of die cast detailing (cos 40 grams just won't cut it). And die cast is more expensive than plastic these days.

    Fusion Cannon, chain whip and ALLSPARK Cube accessories adds more coin to the price.

    Intelligent, intuitive engineering design adds 50% increase in price. Totally justifiable IMO.
