7,6$ for a micromaster?!?

Well, was I complaining for the lack of TF toys in HUngary... The Powerlinx Battles wave hit us yesterday and now I must find money to buy all the combiners I like (got Sledge and Sky Shadow so far, these are so good I can't help but think why the first wave of Energon was so ugly).

But there is something else too... the Universe Devastator micros, sold under Energon banner and packaging. Would you believe, they cost 7,6$?!?

And an energon basic costs around 9$.... Now I usually buy my G1 micros used and pay 0,25$ or less for them, the most money I gave up on one Blaze Master was 1,25$... So logically a packaged, new thing should cost around 3$ or a bit more.

This is robbery, and I refuse to buy them... I liked the original colors better anyhow.

Oh and... Buckethead. Who came up with that name? Not to mention he can't raise his arms, the wheels are in the way...

could you believe that those micromasters cost up to 10 euros (14 dollars) in a belgian store?

face it, europe will ALWAYS have extreme prices for TFs, even if its still from Hasbro

I'm trying to get the rest of the combiners from a major retalier directly, hoping for a more decent price...

Btw, is Downshift and Insecticon in the Powerlinx Battles as well?

Well If they EVER arrive here their price would be 14 or 15 dollars

In Finland 6-7 euros per toy. Not going to buy. Still those little buggers seem to be disappearing from the shelves. I quess there are parents who are willing to buy their kids a transformers toy, but are not very willing to pay ~10 euros (price for a basic here) for it. For them this seems like a good buy. Which it isn't because kids will want the other parts as well.

You can't base the price of new toy for what you pay for old used toys.
