Once these prices go up and set....they will never go down even if the economy gets better.

It was actually a good point made above about having to be selective about the Joes we purchase. Just like when I was a kid, I couldn't just buy any Joe on the pegs (even when there were plenty to choose from). My family didn't have nearly enough money for that.
Now it's becoming pretty much the same (although under different circumstances). I can't/won't buy every single Joe out there for a couple reasons: 1. Some suck. 2. Some can't be found. 3. Hasbro/Retailers are pricing away those of us with other obligations besides hunting/hoarding toys. So, someday my kids will get the Joes I really like, can find and am willing to pay for. Kind of like I did, I guess. The more things change, the more they stay the same... |

In my opinion (i could be tottaly wrong) but the prices they have going now and the 2nd quarterly profit maybe they will start Hauling in stock and keep alot of stores in stock! no way they dont realize that... Maybe its our time fellow tankers!! maybe the rains of joes shall fall again!!
all we can do is hope! |

well hasbro's increases and retailers insane mark ups and lack of selection anywhere pretty much has me giving them the middle finger at this point. IF these things can't be found anywhere whats the point in increasing the prices on stuff that A can't be found and B that is not selling (likeindy toys tf movie stuff, hulk stuff Marvel legends etc). Makes no carkin senses.

Yup. Keep raising prices. As long as you boost your quarterly sales, it's a-ok.......
