TRU Exclusive Darkwing/Countdown - how much is too much?

[snaketales]

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I was hoping for some feedback on the price range for the TRU Darkwing and Countdown figures.

I have found them in WA for $80, which I am having some trouble accepting.

What price are they going for in other states?

And what do board members think of the price I have seen them at?

same $80 price... prob want them cheaper but can definitely wait or miss out on them.

I will tell you how much is too much. $80!

Stuid toys r us. Guess what will be left on the shelves there. My local is still trying to flog those damn turnarounds from the 1st movie.

It's disappointing to see those priced at AU$80 here, while only being priced at about US$25 in America. And with them being at TRU, we probably won't see a price reduction on them either.

I'd recommend looking for them online (toy dealers or ebay) and do the math on the conversions and shipping, to see if you can actually get them imported for a lot less.

If they get lots of shelf warmers, they might just reduce the price later. It's way too much to ask just for a repaint.

True, up til now they're trying to flog off them recoulored Mudflap and Red alert at full price and its been a year now..... Good thing I'm not after these molds , just rapes your wallet with prices like that.

Actually, while I was in the USA in April they were priced at $29.99 while their other Ultras were $24.99, so even the USA branch was gouging based on the exclusitivity.

these are pictured in the new TRU catalog for 59.99

Still a ripoff.

Just a quick addition to what Griffin said...
The checkout I went to didn't want to honour the shelf price, so I left it behind...till I found out that Griffin's had been honoured. On principle, we went back and got it done at his register.
