Why cant online venders sell these army builders figures for the 7.99 price tag like Wal-Mart or Target? I would buy a shit load of these guys from the online guys (Red symbol cobra soldier, Ninja Vipers, BAT, EELS, Divers, ect ect) I know some guys are cheep (older figures) but are these new figures selling for $12.99 or are they sitting on them 2.

the more army builders you buy, the more cases the online retailers have to buy. the more cases they buy, the more non-army builders they get stuck with.
that's why army builders cost more, to make up the costs of the non-selling figures in the cases that they later have to discount. |

Well if Hashbro kept the price point at $5.99 (these things cost them .68 cents to make WTF) these peg warmers would be moving a little faster lets face it $7.99 for a 3 3/4 figure isn’t cheep... I mean hell now Wal-Mart is down to $6.89 but Toys r Us and Kmart are still $7.99 I mean come on a kid is not going to look at a $7.99 figure when he can get a jet with 2 figures and a bunch of accessories for $14.99 but an online retailer selling a figure for $12.99 is crazy. Why doesn’t HASHBRO make some good army builder cases? I know that would be 2 sagacious for HASHBRO (My big word for the day).

620 & Lake Creek Parkway (NW ATX). I just saw that price last night. I was wondering the same thing Dusty cuz when I went to 4 points they were at $6 something. What's funny is when I was looking for spray paint for my customs the spray paint was cheaper at 4 Points than at the 620 Walmart so go figure. IDK why prices differ from one Walmart to the next in the same city. |
