Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but I know I could get one for close to if not exactly what the Joe two-packs were selling for at the time, so they had to be less than $10. I don't really stress the new prices, mostly because I've come to modern toy collecting pretty recently after some 15 years of so of exclusively buying toys on eBay- no matter how high they climb at retail, they will always be less than what I've become accustomed to spending. I still don't love it, though. Even so, thinking back, I was probably more stressed over the less than $10; I was in my early 20's with very little disposable income, struggling to keep a roof and food, and making shitty financial decisions at that (like buying toys in the first place ). Nowadays, I'm fairly comfortable with little overhead and much more disposable income. I'm spending more, sure. But I feel it less, I guess.
