crap!!! I just bought a wave 9 from Target and I just noticed that on my receipt right now.... and to top it off, they don't accept the coupons anymore. I guess I'm done unless I see one I really like. selective buying from now on. one way to keep joes on the pegs.

Wow, pre-ordering might be the way to go from now on. Less hassle and as cheap, if not cheaper.

cost of oil, cost of plastic... blah blah blah
Fact: a 7 pack cost $30 Fact: a 5 pack from TRU will cost $20 if the price holds Fact: $8 for a single figure Dont tell me its oil that makes the price go up that much when I see multipacks for much cheaper. What about the Ross 5 packs for $12? Some of those are somewhat new with the 2 peg stands.

i'd have an easier time accepting the oil argument if I had seen price increases on: Star Wars, Transformers, Indy, Ben 10, Bandai stuff, Mezco stuff, Mattel stuff, ... and not just the single packed Joes. I think this is a Supply/Demand that is getting out of hand. I'd really like to know definitively if it originates at Hasbro or the retailers. I'll still buy what I want, but other lines less appealing to me will get the ax.

A scalper bought two cases of wave 9 this morning from target. He beat me by litteraly 1 minute. I was pissed, but now that I see this, it makes me laugh. These price hikes are giving scaplers a hard time, which is good for the collector, trying to find these at retail. I know it sucks, but hopefully it will result in a decrease in demand, and we will see more at retail.

im sure oil plays a factor but you hit the proverbial nail in the coffin. they are using it as an excuse to gouge us, the loyal consumers, for money. I say to frack with these fracking frackers. :>

Yeah, but probably not before I preorder what I want up to the movie line, at which point, I'll probably be more selective anyway.
