When the RoC line turns into PoC sometime next year do you think the price for the figures will remain at 5 dollars, as it's been at Walmart for a while now, or do you think it will go back up?
Obviously I think we're all hoping they'll remain 5 dollars, because if not I am SO going to broke... I need the new Snow Job, Zartan, Ripcord, Jungle Viper, City Strike Firefly, City Strike Beachhead... The more I see of the upcoming line, the more excited I get. I can't wait. I'm seriously close to paying 12.99 a figure for the loose pre-release figures on eBay. Especially for Zartan and Snow Job. |

They'll probably jump in price I want to say. Honestly I want them to remain at the $5 price tag.

Thank you captain obvious. I will wait for sale like I have the entire running time of the line... then buy lots and return them later when I see what I really want.

By mid to late January they will be back up to 7.88 in most Walmarts if we run the same trend as last year. We had the 25th/ME at 4.99 for Christmas last year.
However it all depends on Hasbro more then Walmart. If they keep sending Rise of Cobra 2009 with no Signs of Rise of Cobra, Pursuit of Cobra 2010 themes, then Walmart may stay at 5.00 till wave 1 of 2010. Using my Walmart as an example we went through about 300-400 figures at 5.00 from Black Friday to Christmas. (its a wide range cause I was not checking inventory everyday only the 3 days I work) But sold every vehicle we got in. Every Alpha, Bravo, Echo, and Pit. As well as all Battle Stations and Two Packs. Only the Ninja Battle sets did not move, as of yesterday we still have 23 of the 24 we ordered. ONLY 1 sold since we got them on Nov 23rd. Now that means the Figures at 5.00 made folks buy the vehicles at full price. We never lowered any of the vehicles. 15.99 Alphas, 24.99 Bravos, 39.99 Echos, and 99.99 Pits, ALL GONE. Wish i would have tracked vehicles better to give you some numbers but it was at least 5 cases of each save the Pits we only had 4 all year, but all 4 sold between Black Friday and Christmas at least. Now what figures we have on pegs are Neo Vipers, Destro, Eels, Elite Vipers, Night Adders, Storm Shadow (PP, AA, AT), Charbroil, Red Fang Ninjas, Snake Eyes (PP, AA, CS), Black Coat Rexs', Baroness (both), 1 Desert Duke, 1 General Hawk, 1 Flash, 1 Impact Armor Heavy Duty, 1 Deep Six, and 1 Shipwreck. Totaling 65 when I left last night. Amazed me that we got rid of almost all of waves 1 2 3. I do not really think any of what we have atm are peg warmers except the Neo Vipers, Baronesses, and Destro. I am sure if we were not geting 3-5 cases this week by new years all figures would be gone. Anyway will try to get better numbers today at work, since I am normally slow after 5pm on Sundays.

Doubt it. By mid January or February I expect the prices to go back up. It was good while it lasted for custom fodder.

*sigh*
I hope they remain at $5, but also suspect that by mid-Jan they'll be back to $7.88.

Just remembered.
It depends on Target too. If Target stays at 5.99 the highest Walmart will rise it in Target rich areas is 6.00. We always stay within a few pennies of Target on toys. Save the hastle of price matching.
