That's up to you and your wallet. $7-8 bucks is about the limit for me. Others don't mind forking over more dough. Iguess it just depends on how bad you want something. |

6.99 is pretty much my limit for figures unless its something I really want or it deserves the higher price point.

Well it all depends on how much you want the figure. I am having a hard time justifying 7.89 or higher, but I will pay it if I want the figure. The prices are not going down any time soon so we are all stuck with them until sales reduce the price some.

I pretty much only collect customs so I pay a little more than that per figure

It's hard to fork over 8.50 on a figure.The marvel figures are great,but you get a lot more for your money with joes.I'm only buying a select few at that price.I have picked up 5.I think the $ will come down.They have just come out and they are peg warming at a local wal-mart.wave 2 no less.There have been hulks and caps sitting for the last 3 days.Still haven't found a bullseye.

It really depends on the figure I think and if you troop build or are a complete-ist. If you are only buying one or two at a time it really doesn't matter as much.
Joes, Star Wars, and the new Marvel Universe figs are all 10.49 before tax at all my K-marts. Wal-mart and TRU are around 2 bucks cheaper for each. Luckily for me there is only 2 (or 3 at the most) of each new wave that I really want at a time and I am only buying Joes and Clone Wars figs. |
