I'm not sure if this is Hasbro mandated, or more on TRU's end, and while I don't normally complain about 5POA price points, that is F'n insanity. They are now the same price as Black Series figures (which defeats the purpose of the 5POA figures to begin with, which is to get the figures out at a lower price point to appeal to children,) and I find it amazing that I can now order stuff from China on Ebay shipped at a cheaper price point than a 5POA figure sitting on the peg right here in the good ole' USA.

Really bad timing too...as 5POA figures are usually perfect Easter basket stuffers due to their cheap price points, but I guess TRU has no intention of moving product this year during the Easter season.

That's on TRU. It's their holiday price hike. Followed by a price slash after the holiday to say "it's on sale" when really the sale price puts it back at the MSRP. Sadly it's a common practice of theirs.
