Sorry Decpitcon4life, I couldn't find a hard number for price. However, it would seem safe to assume that it would be $37-41.

You think the Titaniums will be a hit?

No. They've turned out to be quite the flop. Hasbro is simply trying to get rid of the rest of the inventory. In my opnion, 6" Titaniums are proof that the fans shouldn't always get what they ask for. The fan base has been asking for die-cast for years. Problem is it's expensive. That would be why the 6" Titanuims cost $15-18 insted of the $10 that a normal Deluxe size toy costs. And worse still, even at that price they still had to make them fairly basic to transform to keep from needing to charge $20.

I think I'll wait for the 6-pack thanks.
I love the 6" Titaniums but I wonder if first wave ones will be avaliable as well?
I love knockoffs! Plastic quality seems to be going up on these things. I'm thinking about getting some KO G1 gestalts but which size should I get? I've heard nothing good about the regulars so I'll pass. So that leaves the Micromaster size ones and the WST size ones. Which is better?

I was hoping to see other versions of Transformers in the 6" Titanium line like, Evolutions or G.I. Joe vs Transformers World War 2 versions

If your looking for some cool KO's check out Big Lots. They actually have Lio Convoy for $5!!!! There are others like 3 different colors of dragon Beast Wars Megs and Optimal Optimus. For $4 they have Six Wing and Six Train (I think thats their names)In the $2.50 range they have some huge sized Mini cons and the smaller Prowl and Sideswipe/Red Alert G1 figs. Also check out Family Dollar for a KO 2 pack with Star Saber and Victory Leo (they actually do combine and the pack is only $3)
