    Looks like we are going to be returning to Movie line prices for scouts and Deluxes at the very least.

    They were already clearly cutting on production and QC costs with the appalingly bad quality of the Animated toys and Universe (from what I have heard).

    Now they want to raise the costs??? I see this as profiteering under the excuse hard times.

    Hasbro and their dodgyness are actually persuading me to become a Takara only fan because they give you more bang for your buck.

    Thank God there's still Takara who's always been the "more value for money" product anyway.
