I was talking to some of my coworkers about this the other day. Almost on the star wars and transformers exclusives are coming out for the prices orignally announced at the summer cons. These price hikes have seemed to hit large star wars toys the hardest. The arc-170, republic gunship, the lars homestead etc. etc. all came out for more then their original prices and are more then when they came out years ago.

It seams that retailers know they are gonna take it in the shorts with mark downs on main line stuff. The $7.77 transformer deluxes are a good example and prices are creeping down on star wars figures. To make up for this loss it seams they are trying to make more money on exclusive merchandise you have to buy from them. It is both asshole and genius but what are you gonna do?
