well i had to see it to believe. just left a walmart in frisco and this isnt a dream, just a damn nightmare. i sure hope target and trus dont follow suit. however, it makes the comic packs and exclusives hella good deals.

just got back from the wm in trooper,pa and yup, they're 6.84 here as well. this is just a total crime and is a spit in the face to us consumers. from 4.88 to 6.84? unbelievable! the funny part is that the pegs around here are always empty with singles yet the prices are raised alomost 2 bucks. ridiculous. by the way,k-marts around here have singles at 5.99 so it's a sad day when k-marts prices are lower than wm's.

I guess I will not be troop building any more. This is just crazy! How can you jack the price on an item that is not there. Why couldn't this be an April fools joke. This line has to get way better, less repaints, get more accurate with there figures, not to mention have a little quality control, paint messed on a lot of the figures, wobbly legs, they do not pose very well. To ask almost $7 for a figure that is less than near perfect is just deplorable. The first five packs and the first 3 waves were pretty good in my opinion, but using Snakes body and some different heads is not worth 6.84 a pop. Some things are really going have to get better for that price. They are really not going to be hard to find any more they peg warm at Target now at 5.99. We are getting the squeeze from every direction. On an up side I did get the target vehicles tonight and to think you get a figure and a vehicle for $10!

Glad to see there are some other people that feel this is total B.S. too. Here is a thread to send feedback to WM, maybe this will help if we voice our opinion to walmart.
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7604 Another thought on the price issue WM price matches other stores make them price match a lower priced store. I talked to a manager at WM today she said to call 1-800-walmart to tell them to explain why their price is higher than Hasbro's S.R.P. and every other retailers price. She actually thought it was crazy that the price jumped so much she could'nt believe that even K-Mart was lower. This info was posted by Shockwave the magnificent: "I checked the markup on Walmart's GI Joes and their cost is STILL $3.76!! It has always been $3.76, whether our (customer) price was $4.88, $5.44 or now $6.84. So now it looks like we know who jacked up the price. Hasbro had nothing to do with it. On an iteresting note, the ONLY figures in Walmart's system that are at $6.84 are the assortment listed above. All of the previous figures, the ones coming (Spirit, Viper, etc) and the ones already mentioned in other threads (Bazooka, BBQ, TF Flint, etc) are all still $5.44. Dunno why, but it's there in black and white..." Here is the link if you want to read the whole post: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7611 P.S. I'm a little obsessed with this price issue : ) Last edited by Snake-Eyes; 04-06-2008 at 08:38 PM.. |

don't know if this has been posted yet. this is on the page for the pre orders for the internet exclusive case from bbts.
Hasbro has raised the wholesale price of all single GI Joe figures by 25%, we were able to order this wave just before the price increase went into place. We suggest preordering sooner rather than later, once the preorder sells out, our next restock will be at the higher price of $59.99. so indeed there is a price increase coming forth |
