Does it matter?
Aren't these figures made cheap anyway? I'm pretty sure hasbro makes them inexpensively and pays the factory workers bags of rice. |

I can't wait to see the love shown to Hasbro at the Convention in 2009!!! LOL.
I normally hate all the I'm out, I'm done and etc rants and posts, but I will just throw in my two cents, that if the raise really is to $9.89 for singles, I am with the poster who said they used to buy two of each, and I do too, one to open, one to keep MOC and put in the collector cases, but I am going to start going to one of each that I want to display and go back to playing with my old joes, and maybe picking up an odd vehicle or two (but I'm getting 10 Arctic Hisses for my extreme packs). I think I will try to just avoid the movie line unless again some totally killer vehicle comes out I must have. So for me, unless I really need a reissued classic (not a new figure they decide to make that never existed before) I have enough of the Joes for a joe team for any "playing" I want to do, and enough Cobras too, with maybe an odd pickup of a specialist or two. I suppose from Hasbro's perspective they don't expect people to try to build them all and the pricing isn't bad if you're a kid (with well off parents) that gets a few here and there, or a few vehicles if they're lucky, or shoplifters... Still I say Go Joe, and I am glad they're making them. Just sad that they are pricing me out of the market now. |

Well hasbro knows there are people dumb enough to pay their over inflated prices and always will be. If people wouldn't buy them at these prices no matter what figures they were then hasbro would do one of two things....send their reps to lower the prices to the stores or stop making them altogether...though i think with this line being so major right now i don't think stopping production would be a wise move. still i remember a time when hasbrp used to send reps to stock their merchandise and set prices...but since they let the retailers do it themselves now its starting to get out of hand...hopefully things will come down but i doubt it.

You know it takes about 15 cents to make a cd.
With machine repair and maintenance costs paired with effort costs games shouldn't come out to that much money. No to mention they barely pay the people who work at the foreign company sites.... They make a huge profit and complain when asked to help someone other than themselves..... but enough ranting. As to what I said what does that mean these figures are worth.....anyone have an estimate? |

its not about finiding them anymore....its about the over inflated prices they expect us to pay. I havent bought a joe, video game movie or cd cause of how high things have gotten.

Jesus H guys, the whole line of Gi joe is still fairly new, it's called patience! I started collecting the 25th line 3 months late wave 3 was coming out and I still caught up with no problem. There is no reason to panic and you can still find the joes you are missing you just need to look and or be willing to paty that extra, hell what do you think this place is for! Have hope dudes!
Some people here will help and not over Charge you........just ask....Post in the Buy and Sale Forum........Im sure someone willl have what you want.......... |
