For Devastator Tonka Deco I agree. I was also about to agree for the Street Fighter toys as well, but it seems Hasbro being able to offer these directly has kept cost down somewhat. Still in light of these being based on toys from 4 years ago, with the tools already made, but cost of materials going up, I guess it's an even trade.
Lastly, depending truly if these are leftovers, or newly made toys, the originals went on sale before leaving most online retailers. Unless Hasbro's quantities are extremally in short supply there is a good chance these will go on sale as well. I just dont see Street Fighter as a hot IP right now.

Everyone complaining about the G1 Constructic9ns being so expensive, you do remember the prices at Walmart, right?

This was my exact thought when i saw it. Why not use the titan? why?
The G1 molds also fit much better with the original Tonka GoBots molds, as I feel like the names are meant to sound vaguely GoBots-y.-Kanrabat- wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Flashwave wrote:Question: would anyone besides myself have been more excited if Tonkastator had been on the Titan mold than G1?

Because reusing the G1 mold for the 999th time is easy mode.
