I saw Thor in TRU Wednesday for $17.99. He looks good but I didn't pick him up. I am just collecting too much right now. I might pick up Ghost Rider, Steve Rogers and maybe Hope Summers if she looks good.

If TRU has them for $18 each, Wal-Mart will have them at $16. If they are that high at the start of the series I have a feeling by 2013 the BAF will be done away with to lower costs.

That's not too outrageous considering the price of WWE Elites. Paying $18 for a high quality figure makes more sense than spending $15 on a poorly painted 4 inch Mortal Kombat figure with no accessories.

Agreed, but at least the Elites come with awesome clothing and accessories.

I'm glad to hear they're hitting retail, but $18 is too much. Though, if those are TRU prices, then other retails are probably lower.

Why is it that DCUC is able to be at $14.99 or whatever and these are $18? They are essentially the same with a BAF piece...doesn't make sense to me? $18 is pretty steep...and I imagine they'll go down over time.

Where are these in TRU just out of curiosity? Are they by the DC figures or by those other Marvel figures? Just curious what aisle. I know it may sound dumb, but since they're a higher price more intended for an adult collector I thought maybe they'd be in the aisle with DC and NECA and so on?
Please let me know. Thanks!

Not sure where you are but here the DCUC figures are $17 each for a while. The GL Classics waves were $18 and Batman Legacy started at $18 and was lowered to between $16-17. The $30 for the Legacy twp-packs are a steal.

DC figures started out at 9.99 by wave 4 they were 14.99. then when the tru mixed asst case hit they jumped to 19.49 and thats where they stuck. TRU sold the Iron Man legends for 20.99, Marvel Legends for 17.99 with a build a figure part is a steal right now, but who knows if they'll increase or decrease.

Bottom line, action figures are outrageously and ridiculously over priced these days and it ing sucks. And it's not just are wallets that are affected by this either, I remember back in the day when figures where a hell of a lot cheaper you got like 10 to 20 different figures in one series, but now because their so overpriced you're lucky to get 5 in a series. Hell, look at the Batman Legacy figures, there's only 3 figures in each series. I mean don't get me wrong, it's not all bad, the prices may have increased but so has the quality and that's a very good thing. So I guess as the old saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Where in the store are they though? By the DC & NECA figures or with the Spider-Man figures in that other aisle?

I saw a few of these (Hope, Rogers and Rider) here in the UK today...I know I was kinda against collecting these, but I cracked and bought Hope, because I like the character and I really like the figure. I'll probably end up getting most of the rest, depending how good distribution ends up being here.
They're £17.99 each though...that's about $28... =/

CM, if you open Rodgers could please take a picture of him next to a Toy Biz Legends figure and a Hasbro era legends figure?

They were available on TRU.com yesterday. Got Rider and Constrictor. Rogers was sold out. They are under Marvel Universe for some reason?
