Not when you look at them from a play value/cost standpoint. You could get
an Autobot car for about $8.00 back in the day. conversely, Jetfire (VF-1
fighter) cost about $40. The Alpha I had was around $25-30 and the SDF-1 was
a similar price. Of course something more complex and detailed is going to
cost more.

I wondered about this stuff, but it never stopped me from enjoying the
cartoon.
