Anybody know why the Black hisstank will go for $14.99 vs the blue hisstank at $9.99?

No idea - maybe they think the black version will be in more demand?

Target chose to sell it at that price as a loss-leader. Loss-leaders are products sold for a small loss in the hope that the product will draw in customers. Then you buy other stuff while in the store.

blue and for one very important reason, cost. cost alone will save you a fortune. you can simply buy bulk blue tanks and repaint black for cheaper than it would cost to army build black tanks.
i'll buy one black unless they go on sale but i intend to continue army building blue tanks since you can get 3 for $26 with drivers.

As an exclusive, Target set the price to bring in more sells. They took a loss on it to drive customers in. Funny how it all works.

Well it worked, I also bought a stick of deoderant with the last HISS tank I bought from Target. But then, that was more outta necessity.
Are we certain that Target actually took a "loss" on these or did they just not earn as much as they thought they could've off the vehicles? |
