Yeah they are super small and before we got two (Armadillo/Serpentor etc) for almost that price.

The haters are all very vocal, but I wonder how many will stay that way when they have the figs in hand. I didn't think the Neo-Vipers were gonna have a place in my forces, but when I saw them in person I scooped up two to go with Destro. A perfect pair of bodyguards.

and that is what will be the greatest detriment to this line. the price jump isn't just significant it seems arbitrary. you'd think retailers/Hasbro would figure that the movie is the perfect avenue to move a lot of product by increasing the consumer base and they'd make their profit in volume. instead they are going to raise the price and perhaps reduce sales. sure, they may end up making the same profit, maybe even a little more, but I'd lean to the grow the consumer base and raise the price steadily after that.

I wonder how much Target will eventually raise the singles. $6.99 doesn't sound so bad but the prices on the Rage and Rhino are gonna cramp my style

The singles are 7.99 plus tax. The pulled a case from the back and the only one I liked in the case was Zartan. If you call the Targets and they have them, they will hold them for you.

I haven't seen these at my local Target yet. I really want to pick up a few of the new vehicles.

It seems to me that you must spend all your time in movie toy threads then if out of the thousands of posts I have made you have only seen those 3 expressing my displeasure with this line. In fact I have covered many topics in the years since I helped start this place.

I thought those were $10 each? I remember $9.99 when I nabbed a couple on the register end cap last year. Am I wrong?
