If what you say is true, then how much are the Star Wars figures at KB?
If they are not 9.99, then you have no point.
GI Joes went up in price over Star Wars because they can get away with gouging prices.
The 9.99 factor might have a little to do with rent/mall space, but the primary reason is because they expect suckers to keep going into their store to buy these items.
Supply is low, demand is high, so the store is taking advantage of the fools who go in there to buy them.
That is not the case with the Clone Wars crapola that clogs the toy store aisles.
