USA fans should be counting their blessings when it comes to Transformers action figure prices. Fans and collectors in Europe are paying quite a bit more to put robots on their shelves.

According to forums member Psy-Dis, Belgium has seen an increase from 15 Euros (21,5 USD) to 20 Euros (29 USD) for a deluxe action figure.

That is nearly twice the price we are seeing states side.

Ok , I know that the prices for TF's have gone up a bit recently. But Over here (Belgium) its getting pretty crazy. Before, the prizes over here where as follows:

*Deluxe: around 15 Euros (21,5 USD)
*Voyager: Around 25 Euros (36 USD)
*Leader: Around 45 Euros (65 USD)

But, since the DOTM release, prizes have gone up (by a lot):
*Deluxe: 20 Euros (29 USD)
*Voyager: 36 Euros (52 USD)
*Leader: 70 Euros (101 USD)

This is really messing up my budget. In fact , its so bad that I can get voyager and leader figures (including shipping costs) a bit cheaper if I buy them from American sellers on Ebay!

So I'd like to know if this is the case in other European countries, and by how much the prices went up in the States.

Here's some pictures of receipts as proof:
