I just bought a wave 9 from Target and I just noticed that on my receipt right now.... and to top it off, they don't accept the coupons anymore. I guess I'm done unless I see one I really like. selective buying from now on. one way to keep joes on the pegs. |

Fact: a 7 pack cost $30
Fact: a 5 pack from TRU will cost $20 if the price holds
Fact: $8 for a single figure
Dont tell me its oil that makes the price go up that much when I see multipacks for much cheaper. What about the Ross 5 packs for $12? Some of those are somewhat new with the 2 peg stands. | |

I think this is a Supply/Demand that is getting out of hand. I'd really like to know definitively if it originates at Hasbro or the retailers. I'll still buy what I want, but other lines less appealing to me will get the ax. | |

I was pissed, but now that I see this, it makes me laugh. These price hikes are giving scaplers a hard time, which is good for the collector, trying to find these at retail. I know it sucks, but hopefully it will result in a decrease in demand, and we will see more at retail. | |

I say to frack with these fracking frackers. :> | |
