From BBTS
Hasbro has raised the wholesale price of all single GI Joe figures by 25%, we were able to order this wave just before the price increase went into place. We suggest preordering sooner rather than later, once the preorder sells out, our next restock will be at the higher price of $59.99. |

Ugh. Well, I got my preorders in, at least. Might end up being a pretty good deal if Target and TRU boost their prices soon. Who knows, maybe those chains will decide to eat the increase and I'll be back to store-hopping.

A couple of points since things would certainly be a bit more serious if Hasbro were the source of the price hike for Joe singles:
Just because BBTS got hiked doesn't mean the big boys have. Walmart is just a little bigger than BBTS and has a bit more clout with Hasbro. I'm sure WM would have a lot to say if Hasbro decided to charge them 25% more for the next batch of shipments, most likely starting with F and ending with U. They could easily tell Hasbro they will just cut back on the purchases of the, oh, 500 or more variations of other Hasbro products they stock. And WM has been known to hardball even the big manufacturers when they don't agree with price issues. Plus, we have a source that has told us that the wholesale price for singles has stayed at $3.79, at least thus far. So, at this point, I'm certainly not ready to apologize to WM for expressing concerns about a 40% price hike in 4 months and a very poor inventory. The feedback campaign will continue. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7604 And, yes, I have my pre-orders in at BBTS. I like my eggs in many baskets, thank you! |
