stupid prices!!! buy from hasbro.
ok, im looking around at some figures that i cant get on ebay for the price i want. major barrage for example. on small joes hes 16.99, hes 10.99 on bigbadtoystore and 5.99 on hasbro, major bludd is 7.99 on gi joe hq and 5.99 on hasbro. why would anyone pay over 3 times the price sometimes to get a figure from someone who buys it at a place where you can get it yourself? how is gi joe hq, bigbadtoystore and small joes staying in business? buy from hasbro, that way to compete theyll have to buy in excess and sell with at least the same price as hasbro.

It's simple, newbies don't know how to shop around and find lower prices. I know when I got back into GI Joe, I got skinned for almost $50.00 for the 8 pack they had from BJ's wholesale when I could have gotten them for like $24.99 if I knew where to look.
That, and a lot of times you're buying $150.00 worth of goods from someone and don't wanna turn around and pay $6.99 for the figure from another website and add on $4.99 shipping, when all orders over $100 are free shipping and they're only asking $12.99 for the figure (which is about what you'd pay with shipping from the cheaper site!) That's how you do it! I always wondered why people would pay $12.99 a figure on one site when it's only $6.99 from Hasbro! The only time I pay more is when Hasbro sells out (like on the DTC Cobra Troopers!) |
Does Hasbro ship internationally? Sometimes this can be an explanation. I always look for the one who combine shipping and has the lower costs. Maybe the internationally shipping can be a point to be observed.

true, shipping could be a part of it, i honestly didnt look into it that much. but 17$ to 6$, the shipping would have to be something else. |
Hey TG, unless it's changed recently Hasbro does not ship internationally, not even Canada which for the states is hardly international. So we're stuck buying from guys with high prices, maybe we should make some deals with Frank. :p

Frank acted as a remailer when I wanted the Moth 3 set. He's great, if you wanna deal with him, do it, he's great
