112679 UW01 Superion $399.00 240 Units

Are they packing cocaine with it to justify that price?

[TAAUBlaster]

$400 for Superion?? That is outrageous! How can they justify that?

[griffin]

It is an impressive looking box set when you get it in hand, and worth a little more than the cost of the individual toys... but not more than double the price of the individual toys (one Voyager at $50 and 4 Deluxe at $100-120, which is $150-170 for those five toys).
I was honestly expecting it to be about $200.

That price must be an error, as there is no way it should have ended up at that price.
The regular retail price in Japan is 14,000yen, which is about AU$165. It is still in stock at HLJ for 12,000yen, which is about AU$142 plus postage (probably about $40).

At $400, Hasbro Australia must have been paying Hasbro HK about AU$240 for these... They could have bought them from HLJ to sell to ToysRUs, and Superion would still be cheaper than $400 at the store.

Superion for 400aud You can get both UW01 Superion and UW02 Menasor at ebay for that price.

I should be shocked by these prices but I'm not. We saw Trypticon at $399, from there on I've ruled out buying any Transformers from TRU anymore.

At that price, these really will be TRU exclusive!
