Naaaa. Its a MASSIVE market for adult toys. None of it is cheap and trying to find it for retail once its sold out???

true but the pricing is bullshit IMO since the tech going into making optimus prime do that isn't new or cutting edge..

you can get robots like these for under well under 500 bucks and quite frankly I'm surprised this never took off in the US...this footage is 6-7 years old and theres youtube vids going back to 00s..

so OP converting and then just standing there "breathing" being close to thou in price is kinda ridiculous.

I agree... But a product is worth what the market supports. So at 700... Its already sold out. They honestly couldve gotten 1500 and it still wouldve sold out. That new Unicron was 1250 and pre orders sold out. Its just plastic and metal and doesn't move. Shit from certain time periods just print fuckin money and Im guilty of helping it. Nostalgia is driving it, not financial sense unfortunately.

Good looking out!

I was so pissed about not jumping on Unicron that I took a break from checking on this site for a while.

Definitely getting that Galactus tho!

Honestly, that is the play. Buy two and sell one. You'll at least make half or 2/3rds the cost of the one you wanted to keep back.

For 700?

Why not? We've got people too stupid to understand, not wearing a mask heightens their risk of dying. So why not $700 for a $20.00 toy.
