It sucks. I saw Natalya at my local TRU, but for $11.99 I'll wait for another store that doesn't gouge on prices to pick her up. TRU has a wide assortment of figures, but I've never been fond of their high prices.

Ya know what... if Tru or anywhere else for that matter did nto "gouge" their prices and sold figs for what they bought them they sould not make any money.
Then they..and presumably everywhere else would go out of business...then we would not have anywhere to buy figs at...so quit the bitching...

Good lord. I remember when I started collecting figures were $4.99-$6.99. The good old days. I find it hard o collect nowadays. I rarely buy figs. $20 for 1 figure, no mater who it is, is way too much.

I know, but when you factor in the cost of the figure + X amount of stores you have X the cost of running said stores it adds up.. hencece why its so much Its not like TRu buys the figures for $9.99 I remember when playsets used to cost like 25 bucks now figures do, its insane

I'm pretty sure that when I was in my TRU Friday, Elites were 15.99. I went in yesterday and the price for Elites had jumped up to 16.99 for the same figures (while curiously the Legends figures were 12.99). Odd pricing.

You may as well buy them then see if they go down in price or go on sale and then get a price adjustment. I'm impatient so seeing something I want, I will buy it, and get an adjustment later. Especially with HTF figures like Miz n Ryder I wouldn't pass them up for a few dollars more. You just hope you can get an adjustment later. That's the way I look at it.

I was at TRU today... This kid was all excited... Kid: "That's the 1 I want! He even comes with the championship belt!" (Sheamus) Mom: "He costs $16.99. You can get something for $10." Kid: "THEY HAVE THE ROCK!!!" (DM Rock) Mom: "Honey, he costs $25.99!" I'm not complaining, but if ya think about it that is pretty insane for action figures. I was just telling my gf this story when I got back from TRU yesterday. I saw a little boy with two figures in his hand. He had Elite 9 MVP and DMs the Rock. I watched him go over to the scanner with both his parents and he had to put both back because they were too expensive. Not sure if he picked up a Basic but I have to think that this is a serious issue for both Mattel and TRU all over the country. I actually passed on everything but B11 Daniel Byran because the price was $16.99. I was going to grab a Ryder and a Miz for the belt but I don't really need either. I want the Vince, but at what cost? I'll probably go back and get at least the Miz and then a Legends Model, but the price of Elites and EGs at TRU is absurd imo. Coincidentally, TRU has the most old crap of anywhere I go. And Legends at Target are cheaper than TRU right now. I have a Target near me that has L3 on sale for $8 and then $11 at another.

Just buy or don't buy guys, you sound worst than the mom who says..."It's 16 bucks." At least she doesn't have a passion for it.
