I stopped by this comic store today and they had all of wave 11 in stock. They had more than one set. But man they had them at 10.99+tax. I bought two and they came out to 23.80. The jacked up thing is that they had the box where they came in shiiped and had a Wal-Mart label. What the F! These guys jacked up the price even higher than Kohls.

comic book shops usually raise the prices on there product a few bucks higher than retail, its because they find them in stores (hard to find stuff) and flaunt them in there store knowing it would sell.
your better off looking at target or wal mart. if you could afford it, why not right?

Quit whining you babies. In comic shops in Canada, that's the lowest you pay. Heck that's what you pay at RETAIL!!
Comic stores up here charge up to $14 PLUS TAX!! |

Yeah, it sucks, but that's what they do. As long as you keep buying, they'll be more than happy to charge at those prices. But I know it's hard to resist. Between catching pre-orders and retail, I've just been lucky. Best thing to do, is don't buy.

HTS is great, and BBTS and others are excellent. Comic Shops are going to gouge prices because of the market and because of their need to survive as a private business. |
