Its probably because of all the extras included and its an anniversary edition so they can get away with chargeing that much. But I agree it is a lot of money for a figure that has been reissued so many times in the last 8 years.

Hasbro do have a habit of charging a lot for bells & whistles, if they think the collector market will cop it.
To be fair, we sometimes get good deals like Reissue Astrotrain.

Or Commemorative Soundwave. That one seemed like a side effect of a brief concussion by whoever was pricing that day at Hasbro/TRU.

Its also probable that Takara may have its own release of this next year. It may simply be a special release of Encore Prime with G1 Mangas or something.

That'd be my guess too. $99.95 or some such rubbish.Well, they were bound to reissue Prime for the kazillionith time
Far too much for what is essentially a rose red Prime with some useless extra's.
I dont know if I want it to sell well or not, I'd like some more domestically available re-issues, but I do not want to encourage second rate and gimmick heavy versions like this Prime.

I reckon. The toy only has as many "gimmicks" as the 1984 version did.
It's the unrelated accessories that push it into the expensive territory.
