Single figures are being sold at $9.14 in some areas here in MD. MU and XMO figures are now $9.29 a pop at Target. Its a genius strategy thats used regularly by retailers; raise the prices on popular toys so much that people can't afford it right before Thanksgiving then drop the prices down marginally by Christmas so people can buy them up like crazy. This way a figure that should be only $6.99 that is originally sold at $7.89 then increased to $8.69-$9.14 can be placed on sale for $6.89 which means a 10 cent lost for each one being sold at a discounted price.
After I find what I want, I'm done until they bring back the re-invention of ARAH/Modern Era toyline. I'm dumbfounded in figuring out why they are trying to do other things with this toyline when it works fine its original form. |

This is Hasbro were talking about. They like to stop making what sells and switch it up for things that don't. It makes perfect sense to them. Although it makes no sense to me.

I agree 100%. But if TF Fans can have their classics line back, I would like to keep hope alive for ME.

lmao, great sales my ass, this is contrary for everyone that couldn't see this coming a mile away.
$5.99 will most likely be in effect until the later waves start moving in on the shelves. You won't find any Pursuit of Cobra 3.75" figures for this price so its most likely only to move out Waves 1-3 and start placing Waves 4-5 on shelves for the Christmas season. I'm pretty sure not every Target will catch on to this price cut so quickly since they'll try to force folks to buy at a higher price as long as possible.... |

Even for that price the selection at Target is horrible. Nothing but W1 and 2 figs.

I think Walmart might follow suit and make their Joes $5.98, they always sell their stuff for one or two pennies cheaper, but I'm not interested in most of the stuff warming the pegs...

I picked up Benchpress at TRU Annapolis. They had about 10 of him and the exclusive snow serpent.
