Getting Nemesis Prime at around standard Alternators retail price was never a realistic goal for most. those people just didn't realise it. Hasbro just didn't have enough on hand.
Frankly, if you didn't see this price increase comming, you weren't paying attention when Swerve was released.

The jokes on them unless they actually think people will buy a $25 toy for $80

Out of the people who didn't wish to pay more than $25 for it, how many actually DID get it for that price?
People are willing to pay considerable amounts of money for Alts that are just general release, unless Hasbro do a 180 and make this a retail product, this one is going to keep going up.
