Why are the ML now $15.00?
The Hulk wave was HUGE! I understand the price heft with those - but I picked up the Silver Savage and was really dissapointed in the figure for the price. And I even noticed that the older ML are on the pegs for $15. Someone should tell them that if they didn't sell for $10 they aren't going to sell for $15...

The wonderful world of Hasblo. Glad I got out of MLs shortly after they took over.

That's why I'm spending more time at statueforum and less at action figure websites. I loved action figures when they were $8-$10 a pop and 6 figure Build a Figure waves. Now $8 gets you 3 3/4" figures and you got to spend over $100 on 8 mediocre 6"ers to get a BAF of variable quality. Doing the math has me wanting more sweet statues & busts at those price points. Hasbro...and now Mattel can eat me as I'ld rather support Bowen, HardHero, etc.

I think Target is the only one raising the figure price on the ML figures across the board. I was at Wal-Mart the other day and found an Ultimate War Machine form the "Ares" BAF exclusive series and it rang up at $10.44.

Ha.... Toy R Us, used to sell the Hulk's for $14.99 now, there $15.99. With California sales tax, that's $17 and some change for a figure. What kids are going to get these. You could get a Playstation greatest hits game for $20.
I bought Savage She-Hulk for $16 something. But I don't think I can spend $17 on Spiral...;

I wouldn't pay $30 either. I know what your saying though. $16 something with tax, Ebay fee's paypal fees, and you have to take it to the Post office. Not worth it for $7 profit..

I think it's a waste to buy any action figures off ebay - even if you do get them for retail you still have to pay shipping - and that's usually about $10 extra...

Target raised their prices shortly after the release of the Red Hulk exclusive line and they started selling off the shelf. It has kind of bitten them a little though. Because the Red Hulk line uses the same UPC numbers as the regular legends lines, people are buying the Red Hulk figures and returning older Hasbro Legends which they bought for $9.99 and now getting back $15 for them.
