Price Sources and Currencies
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.
The Brickset database for Lego lists the Pound, US Dollar, and Euro prices for their sets (ex Lego Prime is "RRP £159.99/$179.99/€179.99"). Don't know if we want to go that detailed for TFWiki so for simplicity's sake I will start by only adding USD, if more gets added down the road then so be it. Though not everything comes to US retail, such as the ROTB single packed Deluxes, so a separate currency needs to be used, maybe Euro or Yen?
Speaking of Yen, a lot of Transformers stuff originates from Japan/Takara markets so listing the Yen prices seems appropriate for those even if they get a US MSRP, like Masterpieces and Missing Link. As such I will be including JP Prices for such items.
Formats & Variations
I've made two formats for adding MSRP Prices, at current I am leaning more towards using STYLE 1
- Testing with SS86 Bumblebee
| STYLE 1
Add price in top parentheses. This is simple and convenient for most toys and does not need an extra line
|
STYLE 2
Add price as additional line under toy name. bit wasteful unless there is more info to be added, like additional currencies or price change
|
Reissues (particularly when price changes) Testing with SS38 Optimus Prime
| STYLE 1 (parentheses) | STYLE 2 (line) |
Multiple Currencies/prices (mostly Japan prices) Testing with Missing Link Convoy
| STYLE 1 (parentheses)
Missing Link
|
STYLE 2 (line)
Missing Link

"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. Test being done with Warrior Thrash since Takara prices him the same as a Deluxe class in their DX Lineup (yen price taken from takaratomymall.jp)

MSRP Collapsible Template
created a template for MSRP (Template:MSRPtest) by copying Template:Toydesigner. Basically should function like Style 2.
Use: Considering TFwiki is primarily US-based, US price should be the default and in the first parameter, with prices from other countries/currencies being in the second parameter if known.
- Wheeljack (Que) (Deluxe Class, 2025)
- MSRP: US$24.99, JP¥4,400, €29.99, £24.99
- Movie: Dark of the Moon
- Accessories: blaster, "naginata spear"
- Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)
- Studio Series Que with current deluxe prices from Habsro Pulse US, UK, EU, and Takara.
If the item was not officially released in the US, the primary market goes in the first parameter. This will more than likely be Japanese Yen for Takara exclusives. Importer prices (such as from BBTS) should NOT be considered MSRP as they did not come from Hasbro/Takara themselves!
- Starscream Super Mode (スタースクリーム
S , 2024)
- MSRP: ¥7000
- ID number: TL-EX
- Release date: 2024 September 13
- Accessories: Energon Sword, Star Saber, Fire Blast effects
- Released exclusively at the 40th Anniversary Transformers Expo 2024 and was not imported by Hasbro unlike most other recent Takara exclusives.
Reissues (particularly when price changes): this can be up for debate but personally I think reissue prices should be in the first parameter alongside the original price. Reissue prices for other currencies should be arranged similarly in the second parameter if known.
- MSRP: $29.99, $34.99 (reissue), €29.99, €42.99 (reissue), £29.99, £34.99 (reissue)
- Movie: Bumblebee
- Hasbro ID number: 38
- TakaraTomy ID number: SS-30
- Originally released in 2019, and was reissued as a GameStop exclusive after the March 28, 2024 fanstream.
- Note: I made up the extra prices in "more" just for the sake of testing, idk what the actual prices for it were
Messing with tables
experimenting with tables to see how they work/if they can be made to look better
- class="wikitable" has been added solely for the purpose of actually being able to see the columns and rows
Sample Table from Mediawiki Help:Tables
| This column width is 85% of the screen width | |
| This column is 30% counted from 85% of the screen width | This column is 70% counted from 85% of the screen width |
Table from Studio Series 2023 Exclusives
Goal: see if there's a good way to reduce whitespace on lower row. has been added to show what the table really looks like. Below is the orignal as a control reference.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee Voyager Class

Buzzworthy Bumblebee Leader Class

Multi-packs

Changes: added colspan, reduced 3 lines of space. removed extra |, not sure if they're actually needed for the table but they help readability when editing if anything. they're used on most the tables on tfwiki so idk.
- If "|" aren't removed then colspan=3 was needed to clear the right amount of space

Changes: Tried to make the header overarching but there's now extra space underneath. found out it's due to the image spanning 2 rows (automatic spacing?), not sure how to remove seeemingly fixed with height

Table from Studio Series 2020 Exclusives
Original:

Changes: playing around with formatting for devastator. this was a bit over complicated and barely makes a visual difference lol. I just wanted to get the constucticon bullet points to line up more nicely
| Deluxe Class | Buzzworthy Bumblebee Deluxe Class

Changes: take 2: formatting in cell instead of table shenanigans. Turns out iconlist is incompatible with collist so this was a bust unfortunately. Leaving iconlist out results in </li> appearing, but adding it causes the list to disappear completely. otherwise it would've been great

Xaaron
to add on Xaaron page. drafted as a toy entry cus its made of other toys (kinda).
- Update: toy/merch options rejected, was added in Notes. saving updated draft just in case.
Legacy
- Wreck 'N Rule Collection (2022)
- Known designers: Mark Maher (packaging concept), AJ Piejko-Brown (hammer)[1], Mario Carreiro (Production Designer), Picture Plane (package art)[2]
- The Amazon-exclusive Legacy Wreck 'N Rule Collection consisted of 5 packs with a total of 7 Wrecker figures. All five boxes could be stacked together to form a collage of the 7 Wreckers around a statue of Xaaron holding a Wreckers hammer. Additionally, each pack had part of a buildable cardboard display of said hammer, the base of which has Ancient Autobot text which reads: "Creator of the Wreckers Resistance - Emirate Xaaron". Both of these honor his history in the UK Marvel comics.
