It could all be in my head, but the last time I went to Big Lots (maybe last year or the year before) when they still had things like the HQ, tanks, helicopters, etc, all the prices seemed a bit higher to me than in the past by about $10-$15. I seem to recall paying like $25 for the tanks and $15 for things like the Humvees. I could swear the Blackhawk was like $30 at the most.
I don't know, maybe I'm remembering wrong. Paid $20 for the Blackhawk at KayBees a long time ago now, I guess. |

ironic since I paid $12.99 on clearance at a grocery store a couple of months ago
it was left over from Xmas it isn't that they weren't popular but it was a place no one thinks of to look for toys

$40 does seem a bit steep for something that is pretty bare bones as toys go. Then again, you get "fee" Prime shipping, so maybe that's where the higher prices comes into play. Although not heavy, they are kind of large boxes, so I imagine shipping volume is a factor. And, Walmart matches Amazon on prices these days and vice versa.

Feels like they are like 20% or more off every time im in there. Last edited by SPECTER; 06-12-2019 at 03:01 PM.. |

Just picked up three true hero apaches from Ross for 8.99 each. Don’t know if that was the correct price as there was no price tag. When I room one to the front the clerk was I already know these are 8.99 and she never scanned it. I said I’d be right back and grabbed the other two . Got one to keep as is one to dragonfly up and the other for my son for Christmas.

Are the Click n Play toys any good? They look similar to Elite Force or True Heroes.

I'm pretty sure all of the Click n Play military toys are the exact same thing as Power Team Elite, which is what has been available at Big Lots and once made up a lot of TRU's True Heroes line before they switched over to some Motormax--for the F-22, Apache and Blackhawk (I think)--and then to all Chap Mei-ish stuff. Remember when you could get the PTE A-10 at TRU for, like, $35? We once had it good, boyos.

It was that way for multiple "big" Hasbro vehicles: Target Conquest & Rattler, Skystriker, Eaglehawk...etc. It's like Joe collectors have this weird compulsion to pass on reasonably priced items at retail (waiting for clearance, I guess), but they'll then pay ridiculous sums for those same items later on the secondary market.
