...and I love it. I can tell that really pisses off my local scalpers because they can't make their clean sweep of Walmart, Target and TRU at the crack of dawn. Pre-ordering is the way to go and then when you do find something, like a few extra BATs, then it is just gravy. |

One can afford this because of many factors. Primarily, one's income. And yes, that stimulus check also help funded my 25th collections.
As for investing in CD, I concur! As a matter of fact, I have a few of them. Not to say i'm any better, but the 25th Joes that I buy is strictly for my personal enjoyment and collection. Not to off load it on eBay or such. |

I wouldn't call that "Clearing out an entire store" playboy. Because I did not bought ALL of them. Just got what I needed.

As for the demand by the Joe fans and proof, hmmm.... I wonder what prompt Toy r Us and Target to mark-up the 25th to $7.99?

Btw, are you from Macrossworld?

If I managed to get 100 each of the Snow Serpent and BATS, I wouldn't complain. However, if I should find none on the pegs since the release of wave 9, of course i'm going to complain. Shoot, I only have 1 each of the Serpy and BATs.

I thought the comic packs had gone up about a dollar or so?

Not quite close enough playboy. I mainly wanted the Cobra Vipers for army building.
I do see your point about the majority of the buyers though. Btw, what do you think about the new Macross 1/60 line. |

I'm going to use Transformers as an analogy here. In 1996, Beast Wars gave us the first real standard price point system. You had the Basic at $5, the Deluxe at $10, the Mega at $15 and the Ultra at $20. Around Armada or so, this was redesigned slightly. You now had the Basic at $7, the Deluxe at $10, the Mega at $20 and the Ultra at $25, roughly. This has mostly remained consistant, with the addition of the Super/Leader price point at $40 somewhere during Armada. It has been theorized that, basically, all the other TFs have gone up in price over the years...except the $10 Basics. A lot of us think Hasbro is purposely losing a little bit of money on them to keep them affordable to us. |

Comic packs at Target, Wal-mart and K-mart have not had a price increase. Lets see 2 figures and more packaging = more oil, but no price increase so that oil defense for the increase of toys can stop already. It is just demand is higher on the single packs they know we will pay it so the price is increased.
TRU is habitually higher on a lot of their product than Walmart or Target. So price increases on their product isn't anything to take note of. Their Transformers Deluxes are $10.99.
