Its looking more than likely mp dinobot will actually cost as much as he's touted currently, he is supposedly larger than primal, perhaps by something like pic related although personally keeping him around voyager size or slightly bigger would suffice (considering mp g1 bumblebee is pathetically tiny he isn't even in proper scale with other mp car bots).
The cost breakdown is easy enough to work out, along with size there is engineering complexity (not mp36 but he looks involved), led's, the tail weapon spins (if its motorized via batteries it would make so much sense but I suspect its just push button type) and the sculpt seeing how he supposedly has molded scales, I also have a theory on the cost increase, maybe they realized the Vietnam quality they have isn't doing them favors and they moved factories back to china or just hired more competent staff to do qc checks but that's wishful thinking.
I'll have to cancel some pre-orders, maybe even mp black convoy (I have mp10 do I need him in gloss black?) but I do desire mp beast wars figures.
Who knows, what they learn from dinobot could go towards an mp beast megatron, he won't look as good as that prime one statue but with sculpted scales the prospect of him having a menacing tyrano mode is looking mighty fine.
