Am I the only one that thinks the Retros are insanely overpriced? I want to pick up a AJ for my AJ collection, but I just can't at the $17.97 (CAD) price that Walmart has it for right now. It should be in the $9-10 dollar range in my opinion. Thoughts?

Yeah, those seemed to be over priced. In the states, they are between $9.97 and $10.81. Which would be 7.14 to 7.75 in British pound and 12.47 to 13.52 for the Canadian dollar. Even at the American prices, I still miss paying as little as $2.99 for some Hasbro's.

Even at the American prices, I still miss paying as little as $2.99 for some Hasbro's. They’re now around $13-$15 since they now have some sort of app function. They do seem a little overpriced. They’re more expensive than basics that are bigger, have more points of articulation, better scans, and more detail.

My local Walmart seems to be clearing out the retro series, they're all $5 apiece in the throw out aisle. Even the ones I thought were fairly new, like Kane. Anybody else seeing this trend?

My local Walmarts moved them to the discount aisle after series 1 absolutely rotted on shelves and I predict they won't move there either even at 5 bucks. Never got series 2 and with good reason.

My local area never got out of series one and like I said below, they got moved to the junk aisle and marked down but even at those prices I don't see them moving.

13 is overpriced for sure and that's irritating if that's just because of the dumb app adult collectors will never use.
10 was about what a Hasbro would cost today with inflation.

Definitely overpriced now at $13.
Crazy to see people have them rotting. I’m in a pretty populated area and never saw these at stores and they are the only thing I want to collect.

Same here, S2 was very scarce. Only ones that really rotted were Warrior and Cena probably because they were so overpacked, hopefully we don't have that as much going forward if they stick to pretty much 2xeach figure in a box.

I think figures should be priced according to size in general!

Obviously it would be great it they were cheaper, but $12.99 a pop doesn't really break the bank.
They're only a few bucks off from where they were priced in 1990 adjusted for inflation.
IDK what it is about this line, but it seem like every single little element is picked apart and complained about.
Kinda sucks the wind out of it.
