Holy balls, I thought everything was cheaper in the Pines. Is that at specialty and toy shops?

By tomorrow his thread will be like 30 pages long. Hopefully, this will all be for nothing.

Spacemonkeymafia pointed out that this 9.89 price point was reported at a Florida Target a few pages back with a link to the pic of the tag. I read the thread he linked to and SMM called that Target and verified the price also.

well slinger i dont think its so much hysterics as it is anger at these hikes. We all love to collect these figures and want to do so but many of us have regular bills to pay(such as rising food and fuel and general living costs) and cannot afford the gouging by these big box stores and manufaturers. We all know things have gone up but this sort of gouging to the normal everyone customer who loves this hobby is absolutely uncalled for.

I certainly don't want a price increase to $10, but I'm so selective of which figures I buy that it wouldn't affect me much. However, I would feel sorry for those of you that buy tons of them. And for the kids that want these!

So, for now...all I can hope is for the online stores to be cheap, more coupons to give us 10-20% off and most of all, these stores like HasbroToyShop to have more of them in stock.

Shit, I'd be better off taking my chances at stealing them for that much. Target can officially eat a fat one if those prices hold true out here. We should write a nasty letter and start a petition to promise to boycott them, along with a letter to Hasbro urging them to drop their exclusives with Target due to price gouging.
If I worked there, I'd make fake labels to mess with all the collectors. Can you imagine Hot Wheels guy when he sees $4.97 per car or GI Joe collector guy when the figs are $10 each. I mean, look at the disarray this has thrown this one site into. |

Has to be a mistake or a store FUBAR.
Chr*st, for $5 more you'd have a vehicle AND a figure. Can't be right, that's d*mn near half the price of a jet at Target.

I know all about prices jumping. I am a professional Chef and let me tell ya, food is getting really expensive. I know prices go up, but $10 is too much.
