If it's what I saw in "Previews" (the comic store digest of things Diamond has on offer to shops and customers) a while back, it's the same items as we've seen before but with a much higher mark up. I don't have the issue anymore but I remember seeing vehicle wave 1 in there for that price for a case of 1 each. The same issue had transformers toys for $5 more than retail. Ouch. Too bad for comic stores that want to carry popular items.

yeah, that's what it was. $79.92 / 8 figs = $9.99 each before tax. $79.96 / 4 vehicles = $19.99 each before tax.

I saw that in Previews awhile back and considered preordering through my shop but since he doesn't normally order Joes he said it would have cost me more since he had to buy a whole case or something.

Well, they used to be $59.99 and I was getting cases from my friend at the local comic shop for that price. He sells his singles at $7.99. Now, he'll have to raise it up to TRU pricing. :(

What do you mean? Last time I was in TRU it was $6.99 so that would be a drop for your guy, not an increase. How much are TRU's in your area? Everyone on this site has been going nuts about Target raising to $7.99 so the $9.99 at comic stores is just nutso to pay at retail (and sadly it's solely the fault of Diamond marking them up and passing that along to comic stores, and in doing so making THEM look like they are the ones doing the price fixing). KB toys is still "only" $8.99~! ;)
