With the figures going up in price, does anyone know why the figures seem to be cheaper when they come with vehicles? I would assume that when a figure comes with a vehicle, it would be a little more expensive. By no means am i complaining and wanting to pay more, but does anyone know why the vehicle packs that come with figures are so much cheaper? A single figure now is close to 7 dollars and the vehicles,
Target Hiss w/figure 9.99 Target Night Spectre w/figure 9.99 Target AWE Striker w/figure 9.99 The following prices are from bbts Vamp w/Clutch 15.99 Armadillo and Serpentors Air Chariot w/2 figures 15.99 Black Hiss w/Rip-It 18.99 Ram and Trouble Bubble w/2 figures 18.99 All 6 vehicles with 6 figures 64.99 If you added up the 6 figures in the 6 vehicle/6 figure case, at 7 dollars a figure it would be 42 dollars. That means you are paying 22.99 for 6 vehicles. Does anyone know why these figures are cheaper? I do understand when you buy in bulk, the price comes down a little bit but is this the case here? Thanks to any who might have an answer...

The prices on HTS for all the new vehicles is $14.99. So for $59.96 you get 6 figures and 6 vehicles. Subtract the cost of the figures ($6.99 on HTS) and the vehicles only cost a total of $18.02 for one of each.

HTS usually lists figures/vehicles at the same price as the major retailers with few exceptions, so I am stoked to think these will be showing up for $14.99 at Target, Wal-Mart, etc.
My guess for the discounted pricing is that these are all pretty much straight repaints/retools. |

Thanks for the input guys. I just went off of bbts because they are so popular and most of the time hts usually doesn't have things in stock often...
