Talk:Size class
This article really needs the MSRPs, not my guesses. I don't exactly know the size classes in RiD, so somebody else has to fill that in. Also, were "Super" and "Supreme" used in Armada? Singularity 22:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

- RID uses the same classes as Beast Wars up to Super, but I don't know what Air Attack Optimus Primal sold for.
Done some tweaking. It's interesting to note that Cybertron was the first line to actually have the modern "Ultra" price point officially called "Ultra". --Nevermore 13:38, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
What qualifies for "size classes"?
Was wondering about Deployers and Beast Riders... Are they actually "size classes" in the strict sense? Same for the role-play toys.
And then we would have the store exclusive assortments such as the RiD KB "Destructicons" Scourge & Bludgeon, Energon KB Cyclonus & Demolishor, Universe KB Snow Cat & Downshift, Universe BiaB Magnus/Treadshot & Smoescreen/Ransack and whatnot.
Are "assortments" and "size classes" the same? Because then we would have those one million different assortments from the G1 days, which introduced some of the names later used by the price points ("Autobot Deluxe Vehicles", "Deluxe Insecticons", "Mega Pretenders", "Ultra Pretenders").--Nevermore 17:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not so sure. In G1 and G2, often two or more case assortments would have the same price yet still ship at the same time, such as the Autobot and Decepticon Headmasters and Targetmasters. Plus, the prices weren't uniform between stores as they are now. It wasn't until Beast Wars that all figures of the same price were confined to one assortment . unless you count the Fuzors vs Transfetals in '98, but then it was Basic/Deluxe Fuzor/Transmetals.
- How about adding it as a note, then? G1 and G2 were like this... and then Hasbro more or less consolidated uniform price points with Beast Wars, yadda yadda.--Nevermore 21:44, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Conversion chart?
Can we get a table showing how the size classes convert? -Derik 19:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Not putting this in the article yet, as it still needs some work. The Armada Mini-cons and Op Op are under pre-existing rows with their prices listed, as having an entire row for a price point that was used in just one line from BW on would just waste space. --FortMax 20:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Prices are difficult because they change... this chart treats them lore like a price-point than a size-class.
- (I liked the size class system used by the Cybertronian Index, an expanded version of the BW sizes that included every size toy.) -Derik 20:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
