Since the price recently climbed to $7.99 at Target for G.I. Joe figures and since their profit is now higher I wouldn't rule out any more future price increases. Stop buying now so Hasbro gets the message! I mean all the Target shoppers! Buy single card figures somewhere else!

I don't buy much of anything from stores unless its discounted(like the star wars stuff is) or its loose and i trade for it. These companies can kiss my the fattest part of my ass.

Thats not a problem since the 4 targets in my area have never had a single thing. I purchased some wave 2 stuff back in the day, a wave 1 CC, and 2 dvd packs from them. Thats all they have ever dad. The 4th target we got was 2 storys, i was so excited we were getting a new one because since this one was located in the mall it would be stocked. I got in there the morning it opend and it had 1 wave 1 CC in the isle. no CP no SW nothing. and that wv1 CC is the only joe related single pack figure i have ever seen there since then

do you think the profit increase is due to the 65% price increase they have dropped on us in the past year? I figure if they sell the same amount of product with a 65% price increase that would about cover it. from $4.84 to $7.99 i think that might have something to do with it

Hasbro is making their profits just like the oil companies: by driving that price up... :(

I agree. You should all just stop buying Joe figures, boycott Target and Wal-mart! At least until I get all the ones I want, and then it doesn't matter.
