Wal-Mart Raises The Price Of 25th Figures!

Well, I don't know exactly what the costs involved are, but I would assume they save some money by putting two figures into one package.

No matter what you think about Alaska, you've got to love a cranky old Senator who thinks that he's the Hulk.

Oh well, with the shoddy distribution that they have anyway (two of the TRUs around me don't even have a permanent spot for them, they just make up a spot as they get product in) coupled with the rising prices, I think my days of collecting the 25th figures are coming to an end. I'll just collect the older stuff now; at least it's readily available.

Sure, you are spending more. I'm just saying a dollar or so is negligible. It doesn't really add up THAT fast, considering everything else in the world you have to buy, or occasionally do. If you give a dollar or two to a homeless man, that's more than normal as well. Who cares? And how many times do you actually buy ten figures at once? Maybe you could buy eight figures instead? You come out ahead that way. lol

It's $1.40. Yes it does add up fast nowadays.

I thought I read in the forum rules that you were supposed to leave your sense of humor behind upon entering. I'll see if I can find it...

Actually, I have an addictive personality, so if there are ten figures to buy, I'll buy all ten. Maybe I need to go on Dr. Phil.

As you said though, there are other things I have to buy; I have no choice when it comes to food if I want to live. But Joes I don't have to buy, I just want to buy them.
Still, I think I'd rather give my one or two bucks to a homeless guy. Not that all of this will really be an issue. As I said before, it's not like I can find the stupid things...
