So today I picked up two of the Series 3 Sting for me -  along with a Sky for ToxictwistofFate -  but they raised the prices to $11.99. And if that wasn't bad enough they raised the prices of Mattel's DCUC from $14.99 to $21.99! Now as much as I LOVE DCUC there's no way I can justify $22 a figure. |

A $7 price increase? Wow. Everyone seems to think its just temporary holiday price increases, but I don't know. TRU Express reminds me of KayBee Toys, so the odd prices make sense. I always recall a lot of their items being $2+ more than other places.

I'm pretty sure they were $9.99 When I purchased my Series 1 & 2 figures at TRU over the last couple months, but a $7 on the DCUC in one week is insane. I picked up a few Series 15 figures last week and they were the normal $14.99, but they covered the $14.99 pricetags with $21.99 pricetags.

Some of the TRU express are just temp for the holidays so I guess they gonna try and make as much as they can before they close. |

I have seen DCUC at TRU Express for anywhere from $15.99(which will be the MSRP soon) to $17.49, but not for $21.99. Do you have any pics of the price tags?

No, I didn't buy any, but it was at the Woodberry Commons store.

I know I've said not to complain about an increase from $9.99 to $10.99, but a $7 increase, that is insane.

Sounds like price gouging to me. Last week before the holidays, people are desperate.
Plus, Woodbury Commons - those outlets tend to be overpriced as it is, but right before the holidays? I'm not surprised at all, sadly.

I picked up a Hogan DI 2 two weeks ago for 9.99. Went back there today looking for DI 3 and noticed the older figures had a new 10.99 tag over the old one.
Elite's were now 17.49 along with DCUC. Just crazy.

i dont know how toy retail store work to food retail stores in the US or UK but in the UK with food retail stores they are price banded, meaning a smaller stores prices will be higher then a larger store. Again i dont know if thats the same worldwide or across different types of retail.

Do the TRU Express stores not participate in the the Toys R US Sales? Because a few weeks ago I went there and inquired about the Half off on Mattel figs and they had no idea what I was talking about.

At least they did last week when I bought stuff from them. And they always asked if I had my TRU rewards card. |

ToysRus marked them up, ergo TRU Express marked them up too (just a dollar more).

But DCUC are still $14.99 at TRU not $21.99 and that was the price that I was shocked about. Cr@p! both photobucket accounts are now over the bandwidth! one will be reset on the 23rd and the other won't be rest until the 9th.
