Non-member: $47.99 Trooper: $42.99 Officer: $37.99 None of those prices are that bad for the new items that might not make it to the stores because of the mass amounts of waves 1-2 that are on the pegs.

I have to say I'm really disappointed with all the people here that can't seem to grasp basic math, even when they are led through it by the few voices of reason.
BBTS CANNOT sell the 5 hot figures for $8 or $10 and get stuck with 7 figures that are going to sit unsold. They will LOSE MONEY. To a business, this is BAD. It's that simple. If just one of you could present a plausible theory as to how they could accomplish the pricing you want AND stay in business, much less make a profit, I'd love to hear it. You must keep in mind the case ratios that Hasbro is offering them. Unfortunately, it seems this thread will simply continue to be inundated with the 8 year olds and mentally feeble coming in to scream "WHAT A RIPOFF BBTS R SCALPINGS ALL US". BTW, a scalper is the guy that runs into TRU when they open and grabs the 6 City Strike Snake Eyes, leaving the rest of the case sitting on the shelves in his wake. BBTS is not doing that... they are buying full cases and have to work the numbers so that they don't lose their shirts when they factor in trying to sell 7 figures that everyone has already purchased at TRU for 2 for $10 months ago. I used to think this was an intelligent community. I have definitely been shown the light at this point, and it makes me a little sick to see my favorite mail order store maligned unfairly. I think everybody realizes WHY BBTS is selling them for $75 but that is quite steep for just 5 figures especially when another online site has them for half that price.

I got mine this morning, and I am happy about it. Figures were awesome.
For the record, I need to be completely serious about something- I popped off Ripcord's head and threw it in the cat's litter box. My kitten snooped over there after about 10 minutes, pooped, and buried his poop and Ripcord's head. I laughed for about 30 minutes. |

The figures are now sold out so the link is no longer on the site. Here is the link to the thread on here that was started when they were available earlier this week.

Does anyone think CS Snake Eyes is gonna be uber hard to find or fairly easy since ROC doesn't seem to be selling well according to an article posted in a different thread?
