Target doesn't care who buys their products as long as someone is, and they will. When new waves hit, people will still buy them up. Troop building will not be popular, but getting the ones they want is still in demand. If I walk in and see the newest wave, I'll buy regardless. I want them, I'm collecting them, I'll get them. If they are sitting there because they are higher, good, makes it easier for those of us who want to collect. The other thread with the clear wraith, people are buying them for $30 plus shipping. There is no proof this is even a chase figure. BBTs sold out of wave 11 already at $10 each, multiples of Eels sold for that. The only problem with the higher prices is the revision waves, this will clutter the pegs as most people already have the figures coming out again. |

and that my friend is the reason these figures are so much. People who will stupidly pay those prices to get them. I love this line as much as anyone else but I have the inestinal fortitude to stand firm and demand these prices be brought down and not buy until they are within a reasonable range....especially with oil coming down and the dollar gaining value...now its just a matter of gouging.

I bet people will still buy them in mass amounts! LOL it's are own damn faults for buying up everything Joe that Hasbro has thrown at us, I say just buy less thats all! Why boycott a store like Target, I think it's a wonderful idea they raised the price because scalpers and army builders will be extinct now right?! Wrong! Hasbro knew they had a cashcow and are gonna push Gi Joes limits as far as they can, I will still buy and Deckard you're gonna buy too admit it! Don't matter if it's 4.99 or 8.99 a large group of us are still gonna buy them because we love them, so lets just get over it and go spend crazy while the Joes are still cheap!!

i dont consider 7.99 plus cheap. Now if they were 4.88 or even 5.64..then maybe i would go nuts...but when i can't buy four joes for less than 30 bucks...its time to give a big middle finger to these guys...and scalpers will always buy these cause they are vested in more than just joes..they have hot wheels and card and comics and many other things that people will stupidly pay over inflated prices for. If people had more self control, like i know i want some eels and a single carded falcon and blow torch and glenda but gods be damned if i will sit back and allow them to think they can charge these outrageously over inflated prices for these...and its not just joes... star wars and marvel toys and indy toys as well. hell even neca shit is too much....20 bucks for a Gears of war figure? i don't frackin think so. I will buy if things are on sale but lets face it...that 8 bucks on CP's are what they shoulda been chargin in the first place...4.88 is the EXTENT on what joes should be priced at. anything more is extortion in a sense. I myself choose NOT to buy them.

^ More power to ya! Do what you want bro but Imma keep buying Joes!! Buy them while theyre still cheap man and save a few for trade fodder down the road but I don't see that price becoming permanent and if it does just cut back on your spending budget, cut out other hobbies, or whatever stop smoking (if you do) or just stop collecting Joes all together, so you have anything to start selling joe wise lol cause I'm buying

What you could do is buy them at the low price if you see them, then return them in exchange for desirable figures with the same receipt, they don't have item specific dcpi's, I know its kinda shady but I don't really care either way, I pre-order because I'm not a morning person and despise having to be at the store opening to find good stuff.
