It was posted on Toy Mania's Buzz Board. But I'd wait for more reliable reports to come in, before I call these found.

I tell you it's a scam, everytime Christmas comes round they tripple the prices of toys then come Boxing Day the prices drop.

What the hell are you talking about......a scam. The prices are generally the same all year long. Sometimes you can even find better sales the month before Christmas. Stores can't triple their prices to take advantage of the season. That's price-fixing, and against the law.

Hm.. here they tend to drop them around christmas so they sell a lot more and make more money on them. Then keep them low for about a week after Christmas, then put the prices back to normal. Like WalMart... they used to be over 6 bucks with tax, and now they're only $5.10 with tax.

Prices...

Vintage is right, I have never seen (in the U.S. at least) a place that jacks up prices but my concern is that I cannot find any Turtles at any store....I don't understand, does anyone know why no stores have any Turtles figures anymore? What is going on here? It's right beofre Christmas and I have seen other people in the store complaining too.

if you are looking for new tmnt toys Target has been extreamly reliable. I just got the full set of mutatin' figures + an extra mikey (had to open it now you know how it is) I went to six stores, two of them target, the target stores had a healthy supply of figures, every one released to date, including holding weapons turtles. Other then that, no stores had a single tmnt figure except for one Toys r us whom had ONE hun figure misplaced in the wrong section. Target had cheaper prices too!

new turtles toys

the first store to get the mutations was wal-mart. i checked target and they at the time did not get any thing new in so target is not always the first store to get the new tmnt toys in stock. the shipments go to random selected stores.

$5.10 and you're complaining. You guys are god damn lucky. Here in Denmark, we have to pay 14 $ For one single fig. from 1st wave. that is even cheaper then what they used to be. So i don't think you should complain

That is WAY too much dude! If shipping wasn't so expensive to send figs over seas, i'm sure people on here would be willing to help you out. Stupid shipping.
