Simple facts: The price of GI JOE figures will level out and decline when there are multiple figures left hanging on the pegs for extended periods of time.
Gas prices will fall when the gas trucks pull into the retailers to fill up the empty tanks, but the tanks arn't empty... get my drift?

Guys, these are toys. The company you are writing to is a toy company. These are not vital to living things. If the price increase is out of your price range, it is time to reconsider either your habits or income method.
Oil is skyrocketing and it's affecting the whole world, but you don't see writing/petitioning/boycotting working, do you? I doubt a trivial thing like a bunch of collectors not liking the price increase will have any effect on prices. This is probably a simple situation of supply and demand to which the retailers are banking on. |

7.99 sucks and all, but i would be real pissed if target charged $17 each. they would lose my business. plain and simple. that is the difference at the moment between the retailers and the individual sellers in some instances.

You know, I can understand the first price increase because of the economy and all (price of oil, etc), but another one is beyond stupid. Some of you may say it's not, but I for one will stop buying in a heartbeat.
My whole collection is about to be up for sale (Waves 1 - 8, loose/complete and MOSC) because of the price, the terrible distribution, and with all the new product coming. Ridiculous. |

how the hell am i going to get that bat army of 50, at this price i may have to callin some theifs in ninja gear. so i can get this army, ok maby not but this price is going to kill the line if it keeps up like this. and no one will buy one for 10 a pop, to get a army of 50 or more do the math. i may only get one or two now and pass on others, that i may not want as mutch. but i do want a full set and may not get one, at this price as the same for others too.

I army build, but i do not buy everything that comes out. I think the assorted items that are coming out are great. I can pick and choose and there really should be something for everybody. Distribution seems to be shoddy, but i have faith that these things will get on the pegs soon.

I thought of a new thread idea. How much would it have to be for you to quit? Mine is 9.99, then I get selective, then at 12.99 I'm officially giving hasbro the giant flip-off. There figures are outstanding and all but you know what . . . fill in the dot dot dot!!!
