Are your G1 toys also overpriced TRU exclusives like they are down here?

The price of G1 reissues at TRU here -- with their crappy Hasblo modifications are:

* Optimus Prime = $90 (35GBP/54USD)
* Ultra Magnus = $90
* Rodimus Major = $30 (12GBP/18USD)
* Starscream = originally sold for $90, but now reduced to $70 (27GBP/42USD)

Compare this with how much these toys were reissued in Japan -- *without* the crappy Hasbro mods...

* Convoy = 4980JPY (70AUD/27GBP/42USD)
* Ultra Magnus = 4980JPY
* Hot Rodimus = 2500JPY (35AUD/13GBP/21USD)
* Starscream = 2980JPY (42AUD/16GBP/25USD)

$30 is a fair price for Rodimus Major -- but the rest of them are really overpriced. Especially Starscream.

TRU, at least in Australia, are seriously trying to rip Transfans off. D:<
