But one thing I cannot damn them on is the selection. I left a BAT, Flash and '82 Snake Eyes (all new cards, not silver foil cards) hanging the other day because he was 7.99 plus .72 cents in taxes makes him 8.71 USD.
I always buy BATs and HISS Driver, but 8.71 each?
Yeesh.
Anyway, I am sorry about your lack of selection.
The only advice I have for you is to shop online with one of the MANY reputable online sites for GI Joe.
I hope that you feel better, and that you enjoy your weekend. | TRU is the same price and Walmart will only follow...........you cant blame them blame Hasbro........for making A ton of money and raising prices.........

Toys R Us is only 6.99 here, and I get coupons from them all the time in my emails. You should register with their online site for emails and exclusive offers.
Toys R Us and Babies R Us are currently honoring those of us in the military with a 20% off coupon this week, and it expires tomorrow.
Because Target reneges on their coupons, and basically screws their customers over in the process, I see no reason to give them my money.
I won't rehash my hatred for Target because they have cost the Salvation Army (and the poor and homeless they help) several million a year in lost Christmas donations. | |

Yet, GI Joe is 7.99 at Target.
I think they are taking advantage of the fact that GI Joe is Hasbro's hottest item this quarter. Not sure about the Fiscal Year itself, but I am wondering what Hasbro Toy Line can beat GI Joe this Christmas.
Those Star Wars Clone figures are clogging every aisle I visit. | |

Its been like that since day one for me with Wal Mart...... Quote:

Sounds like you are screaming in your letter there are masses that want Joes. Then you present 6 names and yourself as the masses. Um I'm sorry if I got your letter I would be laughing and send you a coupon for 25 cents off of a 2 liter or something. | |
