Raving Toy Maniac

Saw new hobbit figures at TRU in Fair Lakes Virginia. Ouality on figures didn't look so great. 6" figures going for 17.49, 4" for 11.49, two packs for 11.49, and some larger pieces in the $30 range. This TRU is notoriously higher than most because the Wal Mart and Target in the same shopping center stock every 4 months or so and every other toy source locally has gone out of business.

I guess they couldn't really get away with including a small six-pack with him. Do any similarly sized toys exist that come with alcohol accessories?

It's no suprize that matty collector takes us to the bank, but before I make my point, just note that all most all major retailers that sell online offer free shipping on high cost orders and they don't....but anyway I want to note this .......

Yester day I wanted to see what the cost would be on the ghostbusters figures that are on sale today, I added to cart and it shows shipping cost at 8.53 for the two figures at regular price 22 bucks, now today when there on sale for 15.13 shipping is 10.53 .....I just feel so takin on this, point being is there a movement to stand up to this or are we just going to have to keep getting screwed....

...but I do. So much.

Thinking about picking a NECA Guile up for a MOTUC custom. Thanks!

spends 4.05 billion. too low

Never thought I would get into the little cars but my 5 year old son got me into them. Im not going crazy into it, just picking up the ones I like. Any one know of any cool collector sites where a guy can learn more about the hobby.

Thanks

...and they take paypal now. $14.99 apiece before tax and shipping, for those still looking... MUCH better than the ridiculous prices TRU wants for 'em!

If so can you drop me a line?

I'm reading conflicting reports. Can't tell if my LCS was shorted or not.
