I know KM increased prices is not exactly a major impact considering a lot of us buy from WM, Target or online stores for our Joes but revisited my KM and man, I was disgusted by the price increase.
The 25th Anniversary Box Sets (original two and Cobra Legion) which I bought the original two at this same store for $23.99 has been increased to $29.99. I couldn't find the single peg or two-packs anymore with their recent reset. So, wondering if they pulled them off because the usual section is now all Star Wars and Transformers. It looks like they need to find spaces for the spring/summer movie merchandise. But hell, I saw the Sigma Strike Duke which was once $17.99 several weeks ago at this store now at $26.99 (and you can find this figure for like $12.99 at Grocery Outlet these days). It's sad because you can see the new sticker barely covering the old sticker. I know that KM is expensive for some cities in the US but usually things were never this bad for my local KM. Curious if anyone seen this in their areas this week....

last time i was in a Kmart, comic packs were $10.99. but the big shock was that single SW figs were $8.99! $8.99!! makes kaybee toys look like a discount outlet.
that was just after the dreadnoks comic packs hit. |

Looks like KB joined the price increase party also. Stopped over there today and 25th Joes were $7.99. It's not like most people buy Joes from KB anyway, but it still sucks. It was a good "backup store" to find Joes at.

I don't think K Mart blows. Actually, i kinda like K Mart. They just fell behind Wal Mart and Target and are not as popular. I still buy joes there and i am happy to support K Mart whenever they have figures i need. In a way, most of the time they have figures because no one ever seems to check there. Yeah their prices are a little high but if i want it bad enough and they have it, i am gonna buy it...
