I noticed the same thing at a local Walmart here in North Carolina earlier today. Not surprising with the $15 and some change price they have been at for a while now; I could see them raising their price on these due to that and obvious cost. Look at Target, they have been selling them at $19.99 for a long time now, so I can see why Walmart wants to narrow the price difference and make more money, while still undercutting their biggest brick-and-mortar competitor.
Did you notice if they went up on Battle Packs as well?

That’s what I see online. The price was 17.97 not long ago so this is not a big shock.
Hopefully they stock figures online regularly and I’ll be ok to pay the price

Hm. I had been buying pretty exclusively at Walmart for the past year since they dropped the prices. Being a buck cheaper kills any incentive to buy there over Target, RSC or Amazon.
Walmart was the least convenient of the 4 for me, so my buying will almost certainly be going elsewhere aside from exclusives.

The walmart 30 minutes from me raised them awhile ago, while the one here in town was still at 15 last week.
Which is awful because I swear that out of town one has better selection. Well, ok, not better selection. But it's out of the way and it's not picked over constantly like the one here is.

I went to Walmart today and noticed that the price went up from $15.88 to $18.88 has anyone else seen this at their Walmart. They where on "rollback" at wally world for a long time. I am amazed walmart kept them at the $16 price for so long. |

I am amazed walmart kept them at the $16 price for so long. They started when Elite 63 came out. It was about a year and a half. It’s still disappointing. Target was easier for me at college so whenever life goes back to “normal”, I will have less incentive to go out of my way to buy from Walmart |
