That kinda sucks, but hopefully this will keep a few more figures on the pegs for people like me who just want one or two of each figure. Hoarding might drop a little with this price increase. There is a silver lining.
I'd better go buy some random trooper from K-mart so that I can have a receipt of 5.99 to price match at Walmart!! |

well looks like another line of cool stuff i will stop collecting. Im so sick of getting reamed by these companies. I urge others to follow suit. One way to combat this insanely increasing pricing is to stop purchasing.

well i know we may lose them but thats really the only effective way to stop rising prices. I agree we should make some serious noise as i just sent a rather scathing letter to hasbro regarding this issue but i for one will not be buying anything more from them until these prices are brought down. and if that means i miss out on my much anticipated falcon that is forth coming...well then sadly so it must be. It pains me to do that but i must stand up for what i believe in. Let us pray hasbro get the message though as i do love these new joes .

Hmmm...I've been fairly selective in my figure purchase selections so far, but this might push me out of single cardeds for a while.
I have a good job and make decent money, but $7 for a 4 inch piece of plastic is a bit too rich for my blood. $9.99 for two-packs or $13.99 for 3-packs sounds pretty decent now. Just hope you don't get into the vintage MOC figures, those will run you a few hundred or more for the harder to find ones. |

like a few said, it was only a matter of time. I don't mind the price increase, but I do care about the lack of distribution. Ebay almost seems reasonable since the price increase..

Wat really sucks is that I remember buying Snow job when I was a kid for $1.97. Tax included! What I've done is cut back on my SW buying. So now I don't buy any of the cheesy SW repacks and just get joes. They are basically a monopoly on the good toys now.
