WalMart increases prices
 

I was just at Walmart. I was disgusted to see they marked up their singles from $6.94 to $7.46.

:mad:

My heart bleeds. On a brighter note HBC cut the price of Star Wars from $9.99 to $9.47.

Well, we knew it was going to happen. I hear the Joes are going to go up as well.

Obviously someone didn't get the "FALLING PRICES" idea in the walmart toy dept...

That blows. I was disgusted when I saw the SW Battlepacks for $24.99.

I thought the 3.34" figures where made to be cheaper.

Yeah. Cheaper for them to produce, but not necessarily for us to buy.

Well the movie G.I. Joe figures are going to be $7.88.

Shopko has transformers voyagers for 31.00 deluxe are almost 15

Man, I guess 8 bucks is the new standard for 3.75" figures. I remember being a kid in the 80's and buying G.I. Joes for about $1.50 each. Those were the days.

I'm assuming the poll question refers to the 3.75" figures only? Because that's how I answered it.

Granted, I haven't bought any 3.75" SW figures in a very long time. But if you were asking about SW merch in general, then I would have to say yes as long as Hasbro continues to put out OT SWTFs (barring redecos).

Uh, what does that have to do with this thread?

I know what you mean, saw one @ K-Mart today.

Yeah, I recall buying Jawas for $2.00 each @ Woolworths.

My days are limited with SW collecting. The 30th was super cool but Legacy has been sluggish to say the least. I will always be a SW nerd but I think the selection this year and the price point has taken it's toll. I yearn for the days of $5.99 for sure.
