    Good price for those that missed out on his limited run, and can't wait for potential stock at Kmart runout price
    Like I get how that could be considered a good price.

    But do you remember when that was that standard price for a Deluxe when they were not on sale? Really goes to show how things have gone up in the last 15 years or so.

    Actually, I can't see how it might be.

    That's a tiny, hopelessly articulated toy. And so far as I can see, the current version of the targetmasters comes to a total of 2 and a half moulds, in a range of different colours. We have 12 targetmasters from the WFC toylines (Firebolt, redecoed into Fracas, Singe, Pinpointer, and Nightstick; Blowpipe, redecoed into Caliburst, Trenchfoot, Heatstroke, and Hearburn; and Aimless and Shrute retooled with tiny changes from Blowpipe).

    Why would anyone pay $25 when they can still grab one of the other toys dirt cheap from Kmart and just slap a bit of paint on it, which is all Hasbro has done anyway?

    Well, okay, the blast effects are the only reason why I bought a bunch of them from Kmart a few months back, yes... (the targetmasters sorry battlemasters are in a box, almost certainly never to be seen again).

    But still, $25 just for the green swirlies?

    Oh, I'm aware that it's not a good price objectively. However it's an end of line figure that was not seen here that has seen prices up at $50-$60 (similar to Ratbat and Rumble).

    $25 is a decent price for those that are completionists on this / want their targetmaster deluxes to have their relevant partner.

    Ah, the ding goes off in my head. Now it makes sense.

    Similar to Titan Master Ramhorn. I know a few who paid a big premium for that one, then we somehow ended up with alot of them for cheap. Possible this guy might end up the same, but we just never know. Collecting some have become a gamble when it comes to prices
