Thought this year would be the one where I finally break my addiction to US Transformers. Turns out, nope. Amazon dropped the price of two of the deluxe Combiner Wars superion limb figures down to retail and I instantly jumped on them. Oh well. Combiner Wars seems like it's going to be a really fun line, so I guess I can't be too sorry that I keep buying.
Now if they would just drop the price of Silverbolt (Superion's torso), Alpha Bravo (one of Superion's other limbs) and Dragstrip( limb for the combiner in the next wave) we'd really be cooking.
Really hope this is the end of yearly price increases for Deluxes. $10-> 13 made sense since we hadn't seen an increase in 15 years or so. The $10 was untenable. $13 -> 15 would have been OK if it didn't coincide with the shit ass FOC and DotM lines. $15->17 is kind of crazy. It at least seems this is coming with a pretty significant increase in figure size, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, but I'm certainly going to be more choosy in my pickups. If we hit $20+ for deluxes any time soon, though, I'll probably be out.
