>>11290925Don wanted it to be closer to mainline Transformers prices, something like 80-120 because the whole point was for it to be army buildable. Sentinel basically told him they're a prestige toy company and make something they could sell for $300.
I don't think it'd work even now, unfortunately, at least not at the price.
>>11286500same with this
at that pricepoint/size, the market is sort of cornered by existing IPs. Not that it's completely unheard of for toy-original collector toys at the price, but for whatever reason mecha fans seem to prefer existing franchises for that price.
