Target- No new Joes, Renegades CC, FF and Duke. BUT there is NEW JOES NEWS.........................Target raised the price to $8.99 on the Joes Toys R Us. No New Joes except Renegades FF, CC and some other figure I forgot. BUT there is NEW JOE NEWS.............Toys R Us raised the prices on the Joe figures to $8.99 Wal-Mart- ZERO Joes. They have been removed off the plan o gram said the toy department emplyoee. So another local store to scratch off my toy hunt. |

Target was at $7.99 per figure and drop 10 cents off of them, and now their $8.99! DAMN! All i can say is if walmarts hops on the bandwagon and raises the price to $8.99 per figure, im done with Joes and sticking with Transformers and vintage joes, Hasbro can rot in hell!! |

Two years ago some Targets (including the one at Polaris here in Columbus) had Joes at $9.89 (pre tax!) so price hikes are nothing new. I always think, if online retailers can sell out of figs at $9.99 with shipping added on to that, of course retailers are going to do the same thing since customers have shown they will pay that price. Joes are in such short supply (thanks Hasbro) that most collectors will pay dearly just to get hold of them. For a few of the classic characters I've paid more than I thought I should on occasion since I knew I'd never ever see the figs again.

I don't mind the price... since I feel what they're putting out is of substantially high quality...
on that note, do you guys know if Kenwood TRU keeps their joes somewhere not obvious? I've never seen 3 and 3/4 there. Also, BIG STRETCH, but if anyone sees a renegades SS, please just pick it up. I'll pay a bit extra plus shipping if someone could do that (I doubt it for obvious reasons) but evil bay is being evil. |

About Kenwood, I noticed that they reorganized their Joe aisle too; no figs, just vehicles and 12" dolls. I haven't seen any pegs for Joes since they did that (there or anywhere around there, like on an endcap). I dropped that store from my rounds. If they don't want my money, I'll take it elsewhere. The Florence TRU may only have a dusty ROC Baroness but at least the potential of finding something someday is still there

Congrats, but I picked up only the figures I wanted for $6.97 each at Wal-Mart and did not have to have the Horrible Scarlett and crappy Ripcord. Thats why I don't buy online. What the hell I am going to do with an entire case with 1-3 figures I don't want.
I am still leary about online because you don't know for sure if what you get will come in MOC. If it is jacked up then you have to ship it back at your expense and hope they ship something back in better shape. My Wife ordered me a SCSA off Ringside for Christmas one year. $34.99 and it looked like some Jack @$$ took the package and gave it a piledriver. I called and they said I would have to ship back at my expensive and had to ship Priority (which would have cost $12.00). So I ended up keeping it even though it was like in C5 condition :( No online toy buying for me. Quote:
