Yesterday I went to Target to buy some Joes, they were $7.99. Today I go back to just look, now they're $8.99!!! I asked the Dept. Manager and her excuse was, and I quote, "those things have been selling like hotcakes."
Really??? Are the prices going up in your area too? |

Thats not a good reason to raise the price.

They do this every year around this time. I don't know why.

Good thing that I have some Joes to return. I cleaned my Target out two weeks ago of their remaining Dukes and CC in hopes they will get more stuff in. So far, nothing, but if they raised their prices, I'm glad I did as I will be returning those Dukes and CCs with the $8.99 receipt (provided they get in something I want to buy).
Wait a minute, your target has a non-Renegade figure?

Just a matter of time. I was talking to a friend the other day about that. Friend said Really...cause wal mart just LOWERED prices. I brought up the fact that back in the 25th days...before fail mart increased prices (when joes went up from 5 to the 7-8 mark) they lowered prices and sure enough many walmarts have lowered prices and now comes increases across stores of all kinds. Since A few etailers have reported wholesale prices have gone up I was waiting for this....just a sign of the crappy times and spells an end to collecting as this is a riduculous price for any 1/18th ( 3-4 inchs for the laymen) figure.
Oh and off topic (kinda) there was a couple folk who had posted in one of the FSS threads about the prices of store joes goin up cause of how much the FSS figs were speculated to be. Coincidence?.....I'm starting to think not!

Yeah, just a IG and a couple Hazard Vipers.
And it's weird because Target says they are selling like "hotcakes" then I went to the Walmart that is literally across the streets and they don't sell Joes because the Dept Manager there told me that the Joe toys DON'T sell. |

MU figures jumped a little over a dollar at Target (and supposedly Walmart) but haven't noticed the Joes yet. It's been a couple of days since I've been and this happened in the last day or 2 though
