I don't honestly think it'll make much of a difference. Legends collecters have been coughing up $10+ each for a long time, and most of us army builders have been spending upwards of 8-10 for htf army builder figures on a regular basis.
Not to mention those variant/rare collectors who spend $100-200 on black Timber SEs and Yellow Stalkers, etc.

Ugh....I wish I could buy more, my income has been slashed buy 75% because of the real estate market. I'll have to be picky on what I want to buy from here on in. <Surprisingly, I never expected myself to ever be in this financial position and this is a toy hunter who would buy whatever> and because of it, I have a wife who was supportive of my GI Joe collection now getting on my case if I even think about it.....acch!

You know it's a remote possibility that Walmart is simply raising their prices to try to stop people, like the nefarious "scalpers", from buying up hoards of figures at a time.
A buck just doesnt stretch as far as the years pass by. |

Hurt the average consumer to stop scalpers I don't think Wal-Mart would do that. It doesn't make sense either does the increase of 1.96 overall since the 25th Joes have come out.
Give your feedback to Wal-Mart to hopefully lower the price. Even if they just lower it to what the competition is it is still a win for us Joe collectors. Check out this link to leave your opinion on the matter. I know everyone likes to save money. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7604 Here is another way to save until the 1st goal is accomplished: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7707 |

So far i have been collecting 10 of each troop builder that has been released. As far as Bats, Snow Serpents, and Vipers i will have a few from bbts and i will check retail outlets for the remaining ones i want. If i can't find them i will check on this site for any extras i need. I am willing to pay the extra amount to get them. And when the hype for these dies down, they should be easier to find just like the Crimson Guards that some of you see in stores still...

It won't effect me too much. I only buy one of each figure and I only buy multiples of certain characters to open.
