UPcoming Beachy for $6 thru HTS. A tad LESS than the movie figures! Scroll thru the listings. I guess the new carded stuff is less since Hasbro doesn't have to pay the movie studio? I don't know but hey, $6 ain't bad! A couple figures are already sold out. Like Firefly. There is a STorm Shadow on there tho... Enjoy. THESE are the prices at the time of writing. Who knows, tomorrow they could get jacked up to $8.

Not so much. Looking through the list, I didn't know a new Short Fuse was coming out, he looks pretty cool. The headband Duke looks cool, but just not like a Duke to me. He should be a new character. __________________ The United States will conquer Terrorism with the help of God and a few Marines. Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

I doubt its the movie studio though, even Hasbro's CEO acknowledged the prices on ROC figs were too high. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	Well, that's nice, Zed. Hasbro acknowledged that someone needed a new house or something so they upped the prices! Headband Duke looks the part for the jungle adventures with Spirit Billy and Shadow Tracker. I coulda sworn, however, that I saw a Dutch-looking Duke in the works from the ToyFair assortment. Even came with a pulse rifle thingy (tho that's Aliens, not Predator). Anyway, I wonder why they don't drop the prices on the ROC/POC/etc.

Walmart's current $6.88 price point will be perfect for them to have a "Rollback" to a $5.98 price point. Minimal stock right now, prices higher, new stock comes in, start the Rollback!
