Plus Core class is basically the Micromaster replacement which means a $5 increase from their $20 price.
Thats only Zing's prices though.
I would assume the independents like Toymate etc would have a similar price structure -theyre dearer than big box retailers as it is.
Being a new line, I would wait for Kmart etc to stock them at a lower price point.
Lucky for me I'm only interested in Cylconus. Warpath is only slightly better than the Combiner Wars option, and my third party version is good enough for me.
I wonder if EB's price matching includes these because you'd be able to guarantee the ones you want and pay the lowest price if you could.
I've been wondering if we weren't going to be due for a general deluxe increase sometime soon.
To my mind, the Deluxes are the Transformers equivalent of the 6 inch SW Black Series or PR Lightning Collection for Hasbro's toylines, which have both been at the $39 price point for a figure for the past couple of years. We also saw the Cyberverse Deluxes get set at $39 RRP at Big W and the Cyberverse Battle Call Troopers are between $39 and $45 for what is pretty Deluxe level cosntruction.
I definitely don't see Deluxes sitting at or below $30 unfortunately no matter where they will be available
So Legends class is priced at a Deluxe, Deluxe is priced at a Voyager, and Voyager is now a Leader pricing. Gee thanks Zing/Hasblo
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
Wow those prices are really putting me off collecting these. Hopefully studio series don't see similar price increases (especially since hot rod is said to be sold at voyager pricing, $60 for a deluxe sized figure would be insane)
