Oh boy a playground!

Adding MSRP

Price Sources

Hasbro Pulse is directly MSRP. Major retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc where the price is usually the same as MSRP. Be wary of smaller sellers who tend to have markups (ex. BigBadToyStore usually has $1 higher than MSRP). Exclusives should prioritize the price where it's meant to be sold.

MSRP Prices should probably be listed in USD unless otherwise noted below in Foreign Prices

Format Location

PLACE 1 Add in top parentheses. convenient for most toys, does not need extra line, but does not work as well when more info needs to be added

• Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, $24.99, 2024)

• Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
• Hasbro ID number: 86-29
• Accessories: blaster, "The Depths Of Unicron" backdrop

text body

PLACE 2 additional line under toy name, more flexibility to add info (see further below). my preferred format

• Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2024)

• MSRP: $24.99
• Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
• Hasbro ID number: 86-29
• Accessories: blaster, "The Depths Of Unicron" backdrop

text body

Further expansions on format:

Reissues (particularly when price changes)

• Optimus Prime (Voyager Class, 2019/2024)
  • MSRP: $29.99 (2019), $34.99 (2024)
  • Movie: Bumblebee
  • Hasbro ID number: 38
  • TakaraTomy ID number: SS-30

"He was reissued as a GameStop exclusive shortly after the March 28, 2024 fanstream"

in parentheses might work but feels clunky imo. some variations on that try:

• Optimus Prime (Voyager Class, $29.99, 2019 / $34.99, 2024)
  • Movie: Bumblebee

• Optimus Prime (Voyager Class, $29.99 (2019), $34.99 (2024))
  • Movie: Bumblebee

• Optimus Prime (Voyager Class, 2019 ($29.99), 2024 ($34.99))
  • Movie: Bumblebee

Foreign Prices

Not everything comes to US retail, such as the ROTB single packed Deluxes. For those idk what currency to use, maybe Euro or Yen? Also a lot of stuff originates from Japan/Takara markets so listing the Yen prices seems appropriate for those, like Masterpieces and Missing Link.

Missing Link

• Convoy (2024)
  • MSRP: JP¥17,380, US$119.99
  • ID Number: C-01
  • Accessories: blah blah

Attempt at in-parentheses formats.

Missing Link

• Convoy (JP¥17,380/US$119.99, 2024)
  • ID Number: C-01
  • Accessories: blah blah

Missing Link

• Convoy (2024, JP¥17,380/US$119.99)
  • ID Number: C-01
  • Accessories: blah blah

separate line for jp prices?

Missing Link

• Convoy (US$119.99, 2024)
  • TakaraTomy MSRP: JP¥17,380
  • ID Number: C-01

Considering it's a jp-based release hasbro as the separate line might be more fitting

Missing Link

• Convoy (JP¥17,380, 2024)
  • Hasbro MSRP: US$119.99
  • ID Number: 'C-01

On "Takara variants", most probably aren't worth mentioning for recent releases are identical, but I bring this up because Takara's Earthspark line went back to doing its own classes with better paintjobs. Not sure if that makes it different enough to list the JP Price but testing some formats anyway (yen price is from takaratomymall.jp)

Same extra line format as before, maintain one consistent format

• Terran Thrash (Warrior, 2023)

• MSRP: US$14.99, JP¥3850
• TakaraTomy name: DX Terran Thrash (DXテランスラッシュ)
• TakaraTomy ID Number: ESD-09
• TakaraTomy release date: March 16, 2024
• Accessories: Sidecar/shield-blaster

USD in parentheses, seperate line for JP

• Terran Thrash (Warrior, $14.99, 2023)

• TakaraTomy MSRP: JP¥3850
• TakaraTomy name: DX Terran Thrash (DXテランスラッシュ)
• TakaraTomy ID Number: ESD-09
• TakaraTomy release date: March 16, 2024
• Accessories: Sidecar/shield-blaster
