Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Figure price getting jacked up to $7?
« on: October 17, 2004, 05:31 AM »Regular sales and clearances (neither happen much anymore) kept me in the game through the great price hikes of '98 and '99. But if I'm expected to shell out $6 or 7 a fig next year, then I'm out of the game.When the AOTC figures first hit they were $6 at Target and $5 everywhere else except Kmart/KB - so I still have hope.
I surely hope you're right, but as I said in the other thread, Hasbro has shown recently that they can get away with increasing the price on figures (the VOTC) and not be concerned with the fanbase suddenly not buying the figures. Plus think of all the fair-weathered fans and the kids who will buy the toys, they aren't buying them right now so they don;t know how much they go for now and thus have no comparison point. A shrewd move by them, but it only makes me want to wait more for the inevitable clearance sales.
