If the difference between $4.99 and $6.99 ($2.00!) is breaking your banks or causing you heartburn over the price then maybe this hobby isn't quite for you. I am really not trying to be a jerk, but for real, it is a two dollar difference. 13 waves of 75 singles would be a difference of $150 over two years. $75 bucks a year.

I agree 4.99 sounds nice, but 5.99 is more likely to happen. The most likely is 9.99. The real problem is people paying 15+ on ebay for common figs just to get them before they show up around them. I'm sure Hasbro and retailers take notice of these things and say, "Hey these things are selling for 20 bucks online, we should be making more money." Not that I have the facts to back this statement up, but it's an educated guess. Good luck though.

Perhaps it is that whole 'supply and demand' thing I've heard so much about...
I'd venture to guess that most products from 2007 cost more in 2009. |

They charge too much money for items a and a majority of customers stop buying ($8 or $9 per figure at Target, for example), they charge too little and the items fly off of the shelves and are impossible to find (cough*2007*cough). |

I'm gonna dress up like an Indian and throw all the GI Joes into the harbor. Who is with me? No inflation without new articulation.

I went ahead and signed it. Not sure if it will do any good, but one thing's for sure. We'll make a bigger difference united.
