>>11383414I really wonder about the economics of this kind of thing. Recently there's been a KO of Optimus that's a foot tall and has all the basic articulation you can ask for, and the thing goes for like $25 on Aliexpress and that's including shipping.
Obviously it's cheaper because it's a KO, but you're telling me Hasbro can't achieve the same kind of toy at, say, double the price at retail? I thought the entire thing about retail is that it lets you get more out of your buck due to economies of scale.
>>11383432You're asking this in a thread full of people who habitually buy way overpriced toys because they happen to look like characters from a 40 year old cartoon. I mean yeah even as a kid I often bought random robot toys just because they looked cool, but I often wanted Optimus more than any of them because he's fucking Optimus and he kicked ass in the show.
