I went to Wal mart the other day and noticed that Star Wars, Indy and GI Joe were all the same price. I collect SW and Joes, but now that the price has been going up and up and up, I have cut back heavily. I ordered the wave 9 case, but cancelled it since the price just keeps going up and up. This is getting upsetting, to say the least.

yeah i saw that but seeing as how i dont collect indy, those god-awful dark knight figures, or star wars anymore those dont bother me. I mean it bothers me that they try to charge so much for something like that but jeebus man this is ridiculous.

f#ck target, f#ck them in there stupid ass's with no vasoline! they are raping us and i hate when something good finally comes out they have to take advantage of it to the fullest exstent like we have money just falling out our ass's.
im sorry but with all by bills and collecting on top of that. 7.99 is just to much. might as well just buy them off ebay for those prices. they prolly pay about 1.00 for each figure from hasbro so how the hell are they going to charge that. i dont care about supply and demand, that is rape! so apparently walmart is the only place to buy joes from. |

No one likes the new price tag. But that doesn't mean you have to buy it from Target. There are other places too.
This sucks for all of us. Especially, the army builder. |

Target is not a charity. Their job is to maximize profits for their shareholders.

no they pay about 4 to 6 a figure. and after it is all said and done they don't make a lot off of toys they make the money off the big items grills, patio sets and things like that. Do you know who much it cost to ship that one case I just don't mean the gass in a truck do you think about how many people touch that one case of toys and how much they are paid to process it on every level. I am sayng they are over priced from a collectors point of view but they don't make the money off of toys that everyone thinks they do

This is pretty much how supply and demand works.
