I won't, I'll find them at Wal-Mart I always do and if WM raises there price to 8 bucks I'll have to consider slowing down my purchases like only buying favorite characters or buy them online.

Waste time and gas travelling from store to store and pay $8 a figure, or preorder online and get them for about the same price plus shipping... yeah, I'll just keep ordering online. Though if prices keep creeping I'll just end up with an incomplete collection. Oh noes.

I preorder every wave starting at wave3 but the shit takes way to long! But seeing gas prices creep ever higher I'm glad I'm in early line up when the preorders finally do come in.

As am I. Though if People stop shopping at Target, maybe I'll actually see some new stuff there.

We always have a choice. Just like how alot of us choose to NOT buy your wares because of insane pricing. Target is no different. Im sure alot of us will find better ways to get what we need.

Yup, pretty much sums up my situation exactly. Unless its an exclusive, I'll pretty have no problem whatsoever continuing to not shop at Target.

...and lol at the "having no choice."

Target is just the first to raise their prices amongst the retailers. I'm somewhat certain this had something to do with the resets and constant communication with Hasbro regarding upcoming exclusives.

Target will always get my business because I've had nothing but great experiences from customer service, inside info and impeccable distribution. For those that used the $5 coupon tactfully, in $25 increments, if you continue to buy G.I. Joe product in the same fashion you'll breakeven in two or three months.

Funny, I can honestly say I'd be willing to pay $10 a figure before I start changing my collecting habits. I know this to be true because I will be troop building IG's and CC's from the comic packs. That's 13 CP's total not to mention $15 for Cutter, $15 for Starduster, $20 for Quick Kick and $20 for Dusty.

It's unfortunate that our economy is slowly but surely eradicating the middle class. From gas prices, dairy products and now our valued Joe collection.

I'm definitely cutting back. I put a pre-order in and hopefully I will get em. Otherwise, I don't need em. Where I was going to fill out the collection, and supply is less than poor, I've decided to get the ones I like and remember from childhood. If there's a bright side of my ass in this price hike is maybe we'll start seeing some sitting on the pegs and we collectors can make a choice of $8 bucks for a toy or put 2 gallons of gas in my tank....
