The Hasbro website has powerizer and voyager class figures listed as 19.99 retail, with the weaponizers being about 30 bucks. Seems like whomever is in charge of the point of sale and pricing division at TRU headquarters doesn't know the difference.

TRU prices are just inflated, they're that way with most of things.. most likely because they really only carry toys and baby items.. whereas target and walmart sell a far larger variety of items, which allow them to keep their prices lower.

on the boxes of the "powerizers" it'll still say voyager class on the side of the box.

and though the weaponizers are leader sized toys, they're far more simplistic which is why the price point is lower.

Got myself a TG-20 Takara Senator Ratbat and as I don't have the earlier mold of 'Scourge', I'm quite happy with it. I'd be ecstatic if my shipping wasn't messed to heck.

Also nabbed a S.H Figuarts Dragon Ranger, which is my second ever S.H.Fig!

welcome!

scourge is an awesome figure.. and the mold is fantastic.

i can't wait for the green ranger to start showing up in stores. when i can, i try to avoid buying toys online. i like to see what i'm going to buy before i buy it. i like inspecting the figure first, checking for any QC issues like paint and possible breakage.

hopefully they'll start showing up at TRU in the next few weeks.
