What is shocking people is that only 4 months ago they were $4.88. Then they went up to $5.44 just a month and a half ago and now they've gone up another $1.50? Sounds more like Wal-Mart just trying to cash in on a hot item that they know is selling. What also surprises me is that they are now more than SW figures which like somebody already mentioned is ridiculous since Hasbro owns the rights to Joe (although this price hike is so far only being reported at Wal-Marts so it may not be a new MSRP). But Wal-Mart is always cheaper to buy toys at and this just seems odd that they would be more expensive than Target or TRU (unless a price hike across the board is in store for us). If Wal-Mart ends up being the only store that raises their prices I could see them losing a sale or two a week at each store because of it but most people will pay no matter what the hike is.

Just noticed this new price at my local WM. They skipped the $5.44 price hear and went straight to $6.84.

The fact that they've been marked up %30 from what they were 4 months ago is really ridiculous. If the comic packs get the same kind of mark-up they will be around $13.99. Switching to online ordering a few months ago seems like it was an even better decision than I had originally thought!

Checked a couple of walmarts and found mixed prices. 5.44 to 6.84 but nonetheless it prompted me to preorder from BBTS as I expect all walmarts to jump in price.

Still cheaper than Canadian Wal-Mart retail ($7.92) (TRU is $9.99 !!!)
I'd be very HAPPY if they were $6.84 up here
