Is new pricing keeping you away?

It was originally dragstrip, and someone printed and glued a picture of something else.

That is... a level of dedication for a fake toy exchange lmao

usually they just toss an old shitty bumblebee deluxe in a leader box lol

Seriously, that's some commitment to the grift, right there

Like they're trying to "get seen" on sightings boards

Yep. I have two figures pre-ordered this year and that'll probably be it. I have no more space and no more interest in paying monster prices.

I don't know if I missed the memo or something but I just walked into Toysrus and Deluxe Kickback is priced at $44.99! Doctor Strange Marvel Legends is $42.99! That's a tank of gas for 2 toys! I came in at the tail end of combiner wars at maybe 22.99 for a deluxe and now it has doubled, I really can't believe it. I know Walmart and GameStop have better prices for now but...jeez Toysrus must not be doing well to justify this sort of hike

I think it's more that TRU is paying out the #@$ or has a bad deal with getting Hasbro product that's seeing them jack up their prices so hard, at least from what I remember seeing other board members here discussing.

I remember last week I saw a Legacy Blaster for $54.99 sticker price and noped out of the store. Pretty sure the last thing I bought from them was a (price-adjusted) Origins Bee last year when it was on sale...

Gamestop just increased their prices for Legacy voyager figures at Vaughn Mills Mall.

What's the new price?

It's almost halfway through 2022 and I've only made 1 purchase this entire year.

However, there are ways to save money in other areas of life if one wants to stay dedicated to this hobby.
