I think the CP will be the only way we will see some new ARAH figs that we don't have yet since the Single Cards now seemed reserved for Resolute and Crap. LOL. *just joking*
*whispers* I have never actually bought a single CP yet. LOL. I almost bought the battle damage Snake Eyes and Firely ones though; I went all the way to the register before changing my mind at the last minute both times. LOL. |

Prices will go and go down through time. This economy is strange. One day at the market, pineapples are 2$, then next day 5$.
I think the prices will go down again. If not, I try to shop at the Targets in Fremont. They are always 9.99 there. Are we getting comic packs for the movie? |

The thing I don't get, is that the CPs don't have THAT many waves, as they seem to come out every other single-pack-wave, and many have been sitting on shelves at $10.
The same thing goes for the singles too at Wal-Mart. If they haven't been selling at $6 for singles and $10 for CPs, why the hell increase the price? |

That's because they're in season some weeks in certain parts of the world that are cheaper than others. But you do bring up a really good idea. We should have other plants pop up around the world seasonally and have them flood the market periodically with joes to drive down the market prices :P Some weeks you'll spend more on the high quality chinese joes, but then you'll have fall harvest on the mexican crop which will bring down the prices but the plastic will be hollow. Then there'd be the Indian spring crop that will have really weird paint jobs. Finally we could get the winter crop from Brazil that puts out really good figures, but they all come with rocket launchers in bright neon colors. |

$13 = 2 figures and a comic book.
$2.95 - Average price of a comic book at a shop $6.99 - Average price of a single carded figure Typical cost, sold seperately = $16.93 Yeah! LET's BOYCOTT! I REFUSE TO SAVE THREE DOLLARS BUYING THESE PACKAGED TOGETHER! lol Seriously guys....the cost of everything is going up. Although I too don't get it, as most CPs are nothing but peg warmers around here, the cost of EVERYTHING is going up. Sucks. |

You know the price increase has hit at a really wierd time. All the comic packs, except the two Resolute ones have been out for a while. At my Walmart they have Scarred Officer/Fred, Destro/IG, CC/Tripwire and that's it. The smae ones that have sat and sat at 9.99. I don't see them moving at 12.99. Unless the stores figure the movie will bring renewed interest. You know, casual fans here about the movie and decide to see if thy can find toys and pick up what's on the pegs now, thinking they are movie related.

don't like it, don't buy it. are you really that insecure about your preferences that you need to rally people around them to validate them rather than just ignoring them on your own? seriously, a boycott? I'll tell you what, you organize the crowd, make signs and stand outside of Wal Mart boycotting the price of the comic packs and then I'll consider joining you.

I got both the Sting Raider and Sky Hawk for 16.99 and both Resolute CP at 9.99 a piece. In my book thats pretty decent. Actually thoses is good prices. But I would stand behind my fellow Collectors/Tankers in an attempt to swing the price pendulum in there favor.
