I just flipped through Wal-mart's Christmas toy guide that came in my Sunday paper. And a few pages in it has the ROC G.I. Joe figures rolled back from $7.88 to $6.50 . Mostly the price of the Joes there are 5 bucks. So to bring the price up again is messed up. So I figured I would let everyone know to keep a eye out of the price change. Hopefully the price stays the same and the flyer was made awhile ago. We'll just have to wait and see.

That would be super ridiculous the bring the prices back up. Especially since the point is to get them all sold and out of the store.

Well its Wal-mart and the holiday season so I can see it happening. The general public ( not collectors or fans) most likely wouldn't notice a price change at all if it does happen.

Very true, but it still doesn't make it right for us collectors who will notice and probably not buy until it's lowered again. oh well I suppose. |

That would be typical Walmart, they're not moving as well as projected at 5 bucks, let's see how they do at 6.50. Either way, I'm glad the prices have come down from 8 bucks.

Still 5 bucks last time I checked. As a matter of fact, found one City Strike/Resolute Snake Eyes. An absolute steal for 5 bucks! Cringed with horror when the old hag at the check out counter manhandled them, knocking them around the counter with her big paws. Still in good shape though.

I think the figures are on sale for $5.
A Rollback should mean a change in the regular price, so when the sale ends, they'll be at a somewhat reasonable $6.50. If they Rollback some vehicles, then we'll be in business. |

Rollbacks are typically temporary price reduction.....you can look on the tag and sometimes they have dates on them for what dates the prices are good for. Other times the rollbacks end up becoming the new low price, but they all start out as temporary. I'll inquire next time I am calling on a Wal-Mart for work.

Bummer. I still haven't seen much move with the 5$ price. I wish there wasn't so many of the same figures.
