What were the prices of LJN and Hasbros just to compare them to today's prices of Jakks and Mattel.

The Hasbros near me started at £3.99 for the first series, went quickly up to £4.99 and stayed that way for a long time. The final series that were stocked (Red/Dark Blue) went for £5.99.

I think LJN's were $6.99 originally, but I bought most of mine for my son when they were $3.99 or $4.99.

I don't remember paying more than $6 at most for Hasbros. 99% of the time they were right around $5, but often they were on sale for a little less - especially at KB Toys, when toward the end of the run, foreign carded figures were $3.
IMHO, $10+ for a Jakks figure was absolutely ridiculous. A little under $10 for Mattel seems fair to me.

i wouldnt pay $5 for a jakks figure, the worst figures ever created imo. unmatched furys are a different matter tho. they are amazing.

I remember buying LJNs at outlet stores well into the Hasbro days - specifically at a place called Toy Liquidators.
I can definitely remember buying Adrian Adonis, Mean Gene, Ken Patera, Bob Orton, and Freddie Blassie.

I remember paying anywhere between £3.49-£5.25 for hasbro's back in the early 90's. I think woolworths where around £3.89 then you had toysrus that where priced £4.29 i'm sure. the ring was around £14.99. at one point hasbros were everywhere here in the UK. I used to check Woolworths, ToysRus, Tescos, Beaties, Owen Owen, Debenhams, also Argos and Index sold them. I used to check all these places on a weekly basis for figs... back in the days before the internet.
Ah so many fond memoires, still remember the day (was a Sunday) when I went food shopping with my parents (I was about 10 or 11) at Tesco. Went straight to the toy department, to discover pegs and pegs of Yellow carded hasbros !!! Was the first time I ever saw the yellow carded figs. They must of had at least 6 of each. I convinced my folks to buy me Razor and shawn ;0) They must of been around £3.99 each.

The store had a huge selection of Hasbro figures.
