I do hope that my 'ok, boomer' joke didn't cause offence. It was intended only as being flippant, not hurtful Goktimus, and I do think you're still seeing the set through the tinted glasses of nostalgia. If it was taken any other way, my sincere apologies.
Any modern toy release is going to seem overpriced when looking back at the 'value' of the past. We frequently pay far more in retail pricing than the value of the plastic, because of the characters or ideals or action features they offer. I just didn't think the comparison with a Happy Meal toy, or the mention of $2, to be a realistic comparison in today's modern market.
In fact, unless we see an Australian release, you're limited to either an online retailer (if they get it), a US or Canadian reshipper, of the e of the bay, in which case you'll be paying substantially more than retail anyway. I suspect most people will enjoy the toy, but after playing with it again and lusting for more quints, I can hand on my heart say that I'd be prepared to pay more than $20 for one, and my offer was earnest (now, or in the future, I will want more).
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
